Exhaust system
If you notice any change in the sound of
the exhaust or smell exhaust fumes, have
the cause located and corrected immedi-
ately. (See engine exhaust cautions in
Part 2.)
Be on the alert for changes in perfor-
mance, sounds, and visual tip − offs that
indicate service is needed. Some impor-
tant clues are as follows:
D
Engine missing, stumbling, or pinging
D
Appreciable loss of power
D
Strange engine noises
D
A leak under the vehicle (however, wa-
ter dripping from the air conditioning
after use is normal.)
D
Change in exhaust sound (This may
indicate a dangerous carbon monoxide
leak. Drive with the windows open and
have the exhaust system checked im-
mediately.)
D
Flat − looking tire; excessive tire squeal
when cornering; uneven tire wear
D
Vehicle pulls to one side when driving
straight on a level road
D
Strange noises related to suspension
movement
D
Loss of brake effectiveness; spongy
feeling brake or clutch pedal; pedal al-
most touches floor; vehicle pulls to one
side when braking
D

higher than normal
If you notice any of these clues, take your
vehicle to your Toyota dealer as soon as
possible. It probably needs adjustment or
repair.
CAUTION

hicle unchecked. It could result in se-
rious vehicle damage and possibly
personal injury.
