Exhaust gas precautions
Harmful substance to the human body is included in exhaust
gases if inhaled.
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 enter the vehicle and may lead to
an accident caused by light-headedness, or may lead to death or a serious
health hazard.
Q Important points while driving
If you smell exhaust gases in the vehicle, open the windows and have the
vehicle inspected at any authorized Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized
repairer, or any reliable repairer as soon as possible.
Q When parking
O If the vehicle is in a poorly ventilated area or a closed area, such as a
garage, stop the engine.

If such a situation cannot be avoided, park the vehicle in an open space
and ensure that exhaust fumes do not enter the vehicle interior.
O 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.
Q 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 any authorized Toyota
retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or any reliable repairer.
