CAUTION
Exhaust gases
Exhaust gases include harmful carbon monoxide (CO), which is colorless
and odorless. Inhaling exhaust gases may lead to death or a serious health
hazard.
Except hybrid vehicle: If the vehicle is in a poorly ventilated area, stop the
engine. In a closed area, such as a garage, exhaust gases may collect
and enter the vehicle. This may lead to death or a serious health hazard.
Hybrid vehicle: If the vehicle is in a poorly ventilated area, stop the hybrid
system. In a closed area, such as a garage, exhaust gases may collect
and enter the vehicle. This may lead to death or a serious health hazard.
The exhaust system should be checked occasionally. If there is a hole or
crack caused by corrosion, damage to a joint or abnormal exhaust noise,
be sure to have the vehicle inspected and repaired by any authorized
Toyota dealer or repairer, or another duly qualified and equipped profes-
sional. Failure to do so may allow exhaust gases to enter the vehicle,
resulting in death or a serious health hazard.
When taking a nap in the vehicle
Except hybrid vehicle: Always turn the engine off. Otherwise, if you acci-
dentally move the shift lever or depress the accelerator pedal, this could
cause an accident or fire due to engine overheating. Additionally, if the
vehicle is parked in a poorly ventilated area, exhaust gases may collect
and enter the vehicle, leading to death or a serious health hazard.
Hybrid vehicle: Always turn the hybrid system off. Otherwise, if you acci-
dentally move the shift lever or depress the accelerator pedal, this could
cause an accident or fire due to hybrid system overheating. Additionally, if
the vehicle is parked in a poorly ventilated area, exhaust gases may col-
lect and enter the vehicle, leading to death or a serious health hazard.
