Kyle was knocked unconscious by whoever was in his car but the truth was, he wasn't oblivious to what could happen.
He had seen the Squid Games. This was sketchy, but even with that, he managed to hold his breath long enough and pretend to be passed out by pressing his face into the passenger seat he had collapsed in.
He did inhale the gas but it wasn't enough to knock him out, Kyle wanted to see who this person was and if it was something he needed to worry about.
He was on his guard but he had no means to defend himself should a gun be pulled on him. He had watched a few movies and self-defence but was it applicable in a real-life situation?
It was difficult to know if this was accurate but Kyle wasn't going to gamble his life on this.
They had moved his body to another car and drove off, Kyle memorized the turns and interval between those turns thanks to his Total Recall.
