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

Engine exhaust cautions
CAUTION
"
Avoid inhaling the engine exhaust.
It contains carbon monoxide, which
is a colorless and odorless gas. It
can cause unconsciousness or even
death.
"
Make sure the exhaust system has
no holes or loose connections. The
system
should be
checked
time to time. If you hit something,
or notice a change in the sound of
the
exhaust,
have
the
system
checked immediately.
"
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.
"
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.
"
Keep the trunk lid closed while
driving. An open or unsealed trunk
lid may cause exhaust gases to be
drawn into the vehicle. If you must
drive with the trunk lid open to ac-
commodate a large object, close the
windows, open all the instrument
panel vents and have the heating or
cooling system deliver fresh air into
the vehicle by turning the fan to
from
high speed with the air intake con-
trol set at the outside air position.
"
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.
"
If you smell exhaust fumes in the
vehicle,
drive
with
open and the trunk lid closed. Have
the cause immediately located and
corrected.
