order. Malfunctions in the engine
electrical system, electronic ignition
system/distributor
ignition
system
or fuel system could cause an ex-
tremely
high
three−way
catalytic
converter temperature.
z If the engine becomes difficult to
start or stalls frequently, take your
vehicle in for a check−up as soon
as possible. Remember, your Toyota
dealer knows your vehicle and its
three−way catalytic converter sys-
tem best.
z To ensure that the three−way cata-
lytic converter and the entire emis-
sion control system operate proper-
ly, your vehicle must receive the
periodic inspections required by the
Toyota Maintenance Schedule. For
scheduled maintenance information,
refer to the "Scheduled Maintenance
Guide" or "Owner's Manual Supple-
ment".

Engine exhaust cautions
CAUTION
D
Avoid inhaling the engine exhaust.
It contains carbon monoxide, which
is a colorless and odorless gas. It
can cause unconsciousness or even
death.
D
Make sure the exhaust system has
no holes or loose connections. The
system
should be
checked
from
time to time. If you hit something,
or notice a change in the sound of
the
exhaust,
have
the
system
checked immediately.
D
Do not run the engine in a garage
or 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.
D
Do not remain for a long time in a
parked vehicle with the engine run-
ning. If it is unavoidable, however,
do so only in an unconfined area
and adjust the heating or cooling
system to force outside air into the
vehicle.

D
Keep the trunk lid closed while
driving. An open or unsealed trunk
lid may cause exhaust gases to be
drawn into the vehicle.
D
To allow proper operation of your
vehicle's ventilation system, keep
the inlet grilles in front of the wind-
shield clear of snow, leaves, or oth-
er obstructions.
D
If you smell exhaust fumes in the
vehicle,
drive
with
the
windows
open and the trunk lid closed. Have
the cause immediately located and
corrected.
