temperatures to clean the exhaust
gas particle filter as necessary.
The cleaning process takes a few
minutes, during which the following
may occur:
Engine temporarily runs a bit
roughly.
A slightly higher engine speed is
required to achieve the usual
power output.
A small amount of smoke from
the exhaust, even after stopping
the engine.
Noise, for example from radiator
fan operation, may be heard,
even some minutes after stop-
ping the engine.
It is normal for the radiator fan to
keep running for several minutes,
even after short trips.
The self-cleaning function of the
exhaust particle filter is an auto-
matic process that is supported by
different measures, for example
additional heating.

Radio signals
WA R N I N G
Certain vehicle functions may be
affected by interference from high-fre- quency radio signals. Such signals
are output from a series of transmis-
sion systems, for example from air traffic beacons or relay stations for
mobile telecommunications.
We recommend you consult any
authorized Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or any reliable
repairer should you experience any
difficulties in this regard.
Mobile communication in the
vehicle
WA R N I N G
There is a possibility of reciprocal
interference between the vehicle elec- tronics and mobile radio devices.
Radiation is generated when mobile
radio devices are transmitting. There
is a danger of injury or damage to property. If possible, only use mobile
radio devices, for example mobile
telephones, in the interior if they are connected directly to an external
antenna in order to eliminate recipro-
cal interference and to dissipate the radiation from vehicle's interior.
