Chevrolet Silverado: Engine Exhaust / Engine Exhaust
Warning
Engine exhaust contains carbon monoxide (CO), which cannot be seen or smelled.
Exposure to CO can cause unconsciousness and even death.
Exhaust may enter the vehicle if:
- The vehicle idles in areas with poor ventilation (parking garages,
tunnels, deep snow that may block underbody airflow or tail pipes).
- The exhaust smells or sounds strange or different.
- The exhaust system leaks due to corrosion or damage.
- The vehicle exhaust system has been modified, damaged, or improperly
repaired.
- There are holes or openings in the vehicle body from damage or aftermarket
modifications that are not completely sealed.
If unusual fumes are detected or if it is suspected that exhaust is coming
into the vehicle:
- Drive it only with the windows completely down.
- Have the vehicle repaired immediately.
Never park the vehicle with the engine running in an enclosed area such
as a garage or a building that has no fresh air ventilation.
It is better not to park with the engine running.
If the vehicle is left with the engine running, follow the proper steps to be
sure the vehicle will not move...
Other information:
For diesel engine vehicles, see “Fuel for Diesel Engines” in the Duramax diesel
supplement.
If the vehicle has a yellow fuel cap or a yellow sticker on the fuel door, E85
or FlexFuel can be used. If the vehicle does not have a yellow fuel cap or yellow
sticker, do not use gasoline with ethanol levels greater than 15% by volume...
If the vehicle's seat belt will fasten around you, you should use it.
But if a seat belt is not long enough, your dealer will order you an extender.
When you go in to order it, take the heaviest coat you will wear, so the extender
will be long enough for you...
