Toyota Corolla: For safe use / Exhaust gas precautions

Exhaust gases include harmful carbon monoxide (CO), which is colorless and

or may lead to death or a serious health hazard.
â– Important points while driving

closed, open the windows and have the vehicle inspected at your Toyota dealer
as soon as possible.
â– When parking
- If the vehicle is in a poorly ventilated area or a closed area, such
as a garage, stop the engine.
- Do not leave the vehicle with the engine on for a long time. If such
a situation cannot be avoided, park the vehicle in an open space and ensure
that exhaust fumes do not enter the vehicle interior.
- Do not leave the engine running in an area with snow build-up, or where
it is snowing. If snowbanks build up around the vehicle while the engine is
running, exhaust gases may collect and enter the vehicle.
â– Exhaust pipe
The exhaust system needs to be checked periodically. 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.
