For safety and security
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.

1443-4. Adjusting the steering wheel and mirrors
From inside (if equipped)
Press  the  switch  to  fold  the  mir-
rors.
Press  it  again  to  extend  them  to
the original position.
The  mirrors  can  be  manually  slid
outward  to  improve  visibility
around wide trailers.
When the mirror select switch is in the L or R position, the ou tside rear
view  mirrors  will  automatically  a ngle  downwards  when  the  vehicl e  is
reversing in order to give a better view of the ground.
To  disable  this  function,  move  the  mirror  select  switch  to  the  neutral
position (between L and R).
■Adjusting the mirror angle when the vehicle is reversing
With  the  shift  lever  in  R,  adjust  the  mirror  angle  at  a  desired  posi-
tion. The adjusted angle will be  memorized and the mirror will auto-
matically  tilt  to  the  memorized  angle  whenever  the  shift  lever  is
shifted to R from next time.
The memorized downward tilt position of the mirror is linked to the nor-
mal position (angle adjusted with the shift lever in other than  R). There-
fore,  if  the  normal  position  is  changed  after  adjustment,  the  t ilt  position
will also change.
When the normal position is changed, readjust the angle in reve rsing.

cally by the driving position memory. ( P. 128)
■ Auto anti-glare function (if equipped)
When the anti-glare inside rear view mirror is set to automatic mode, the out-
side  rear  view  mirrors  will  activate  in  conjunction  with  the  an ti-glare  inside
rear view mirror to reduce reflected light. ( P. 140)
Power  adjust  the  upper  part  of  the  mir-
ror until an appropriate view is obtained.
It  is  recommended  that  the  outer  2/3  of
the  upper  mirror  be  filled  with  images
other than the vehicle and trailer.
Manually  adjust  the  lower  part  of  the
mirror  until  an  appropriate  view  of  the
towed  object  is  obtained.  It  is  recom-
mended  that  the  outer  2/3  of  the  lower
mirror  be  filled  with  images  other  than
the trailer.
