Exhaust gas precautions
Harmful  substance  to  the  human  body  is  included  in  exhaust
gases if inhale.
WARNING
Exhaust gases include harmful carbon monoxide (CO), which is colorless and
odorless. Observe the following precautions.
Failure to do so may cause exhaust gases to enter the vehicle a nd may lead
to an accident caused by light-headedness, or may lead to death  or a serious
health hazard.
■ Important points while driving
● Double Cab and CrewMax models: Keep the back window closed.
● Double Cab and CrewMax models: If you smell exhaust gases in th e vehi-
cle even when the back window is closed, open the windows and h ave the
vehicle inspected at your Toyota dealer as soon as possible.
● Toyota does not recommend occupying the rear cargo area when it  is fitted
with a slide-in camper, camper shell or other type cover while  the engine is
running. This caution applies to both driving and stopped or pa rked situa-
tions  with  the  engine  running.  Particular  care  should  be  taken  to  prevent
exhaust  gases  from  entering  camper  bodies,  trailers  or  other  enclosures
on  or  around  your  vehicle.  If  exhaust  fumes  are  detected,  open  all  win-
dows and thoroughly ventilate the area.
■ When parking
● If  the  vehicle  is  in  a  poorly  ventilated  area  or  a  closed  area,  such  as  a
garage, stop the engine.
● Do not leave the vehicle with the engine on for a long time.
If  such  a  situation  cannot  be  avoided,  park  the  vehicle  in  an  o pen  space
and ensure that exhaust fumes do not enter the vehicle interior .
● Do not leave the engine running in an area with snow build-up,  or where it
is  snowing.  If  snowbanks  build  up  around  the  vehicle  while  the  engine  is
running, exhaust gases may collect and enter the vehicle.
■ Exhaust pipe
The  exhaust  system  needs  to  be  checked  periodically.  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 your Toyota dealer.
