diately.

spaces such as a garage.

engine running for any extended
length of time.

hatch closed while driving, other-
wise exhaust gases could be
drawn into the passenger com-
partment. If you must drive with
the back door or glass hatch open

switch OFF and the fan con-
trol at high to circulate the
