Engine exhaust cautions

CAUTION
Exhaust gases include harmful car-
D
bon monoxide (CO) that is colorless
and odorless. Inhaling
gases may lead to death or a seri-
ous health hazard.
The exhaust should be checked
D
occasionally. 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. Failure to do so may
allow exhaust gases to enter the
vehicle, resulting in death or a
serious health hazard.
If the vehicle is in a poorly venti-
D
lated area, turn the engine off. In a
closed area, such as a garage, ex-
haust gases may collect and enter
the vehicle. This may lead to death
or a serious health hazard.
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
exhaust and adjust the heating or cooling
system to force outside air into the
vehicle.
To allow proper operation of your
D
vehicle's ventilation system, keep
the inlet grilles in front of the wind-
shield clear of snow, leaves, or oth-
er obstructions.
EXCEPT PICK−UP: Keep the back
D
door closed while driving. An open
or unsealed back door may cause
exhaust gases to be drawn into the
vehicle.
If the smell of exhaust is noticed
inside the vehicle, open the win-
dows. Large amounts of exhaust in
the vehicle can cause driver drowsi-
ness and an accident, resulting in
death or a serious health hazard.
Have the vehicle inspected by your
Toyota dealer immediately.
