Engine Exhaust Cautions - Toyota AURION Owner's Manual

Engine exhaust cautions

CAUTION
Avoid inhaling the engine exhaust. It
D
contains carbon monoxide, which is
a colourless and odourless gas. It can
cause unconsciousness, serious in-
jury or even death.
Make sure the exhaust system has no
D
holes or loose connections. The sys-
tem should be checked from time to
time.
If you hit something, or notice a
D
change in the sound of the exhaust,
have the system checked immediately.
Do not run the engine in a garage or
D
enclosed area except for the time
needed to drive the vehicle in or out.
The exhaust gases cannot escape,
making this a particularly dangerous
situation.
Do not remain for a long time in a
D
parked vehicle with the engine run-
ning. If it is unavoidable, however, do
so only in an unconfined area and ad-
just the heating or cooling system to
force outside air into the vehicle.
Keep the boot lid closed while driving.
D
An open or unsealed boot lid may
cause exhaust gases to be drawn into
the vehicle.
To allow proper operation of your
D
vehicle's ventilation system, keep the
inlet grilles in front of the windshield
clear of snow, leaves, or other ob-
structions.
If you smell exhaust fumes in the vehi-
D
cle, open the windows and close the
boot lid to ensure plenty of fresh air
enters the vehicle.
INFORMATION BEFORE DRIVING YOUR TOYOTA
If you can smell exhaust fumes even
D
though there are no other vehicles in
the surrounding area, have your vehi-
cle checked by your Toyota dealer.
Continued
D
fumes can lead to death by gas pois-
oning.
