warning
●
Do not attach suction cups to window glass, etc. Also, do not place containers
such as fragrances on the instrument panel or dashboard.
The suction cups and containers act as lenses, which may lead to a vehicle fire, which is dangerous.
●
If you put a metal-deposited film such as silver on curved glass, do not leave the
door or window open. Direct sunlight reflects on the inside of the curved glass,
which acts as a lens and may lead to a fire, which is dangerous.
●
When you leave the car, be sure to apply the parking brake and push the shift lever.
Turn it into a tomatic car), stop the engine, and lock it. Stay in the
car while the engine is running.
●
Do not touch the exhaust pipe while the engine is running or immediately after
stopping. There is a risk of burns.
●
Do not leave the engine running during snowfall or in places with snow. Exhaust
gas can accumulate in the surrounding snow and enter the vehicle, causing serious
health problems or, in the worst case, death.

About exhaust gas

Exhaust gas contains colorless, odorless and harmful carbon monoxide (CO), so
inhaling the exhaust gas can cause serious health problems or, in the worst
case, death.
●
Stop the engine in poorly ventilated areas. Exhaust gases can fill up in enclosed
areas, especially in garages, which can lead to serious health problems or even
death in the worst case.
●
Check the exhaust pipe from time to time. If you notice holes or cracks due to
corrosion of the exhaust pipe, damage to the joints, or abnormal exhaust noise, be
sure to have a Toyota dealer inspect and maintain it. If used as is, exhaust gas may
enter the vehicle, causing serious health problems or, in the worst case, death.
