Testing a Carbon Monoxide Alarm

How does one go about checking a carbon monoxide alarm to see if it
will sound when carbon monoxide levels are dangerous?
If I placed my alarm on the ground under my cars exhaust when my car
is in idle, would that be an acceptable test?
Thanks,

They should be good for 5-10 years. I replace mine at five years. Well
actually I do a monkey move up. The oldest one moves to the trash and the
newest on goes right outside the bedrooms with the next newest moving
downstairs. I buy one every five years. I have three years to go.
One has a digital readout. I could bring it down around the furnace -
water heater and I could get a very low reading, but not enough to set it
off.
