Toyota Yaris: Fuel and Engine Exhaust Precautions / Emission Control System
This vehicle is equipped with an emission control system (the catalytic
converter is part of this system) that enables the vehicle to comply
with existing exhaust emissions requirements.
- Under U.S. federal law, any modification to the original-equipment
emission
control system before the first sale and registration of a vehicle is
subject to
penalties. In some states, such modification made on a used vehicle is also
subject to penalties.
- While the engine is off, the sound of a valve opening and closing can be
heard at the rear of the vehicle, however this does not indicate an
abnormality. The vehicle has a selfchecking device and it operates while the
engine is
off.
WARNING
Never park over or near anything flammable
Parking over or near anything flammable, such as dry grass, is
dangerous.
Even with the engine turned off, the exhaust system remains very hot after
normal use and could ignite anything flammable. A resulting fire could
cause serious injury or death.
NOTICE
Ignoring the following precautions could cause lead to accumulate on
the
catalyst inside the converter or cause the converter to get very hot. Either
condition will damage the converter and cause poor performance.
- USE ONLY UNLEADED FUEL.
- Do not drive your Toyota with any sign of engine malfunction.
- Do not coast with the ignition switched off.
- Do not descend steep grades in gear with the ignition switched off.
- Do not operate the engine at high idle for more than 2 minutes.
- Do not tamper with the emission control system. All inspections
and adjustments must be made by a qualified
technician.
- Do not push-start or pull-start your vehicle.
Vehicles with catalytic converters or oxygen sensors must use ONLY
UNLEADED FUEL, which will reduce exhaust emissions and keep
spark plug fouling to a minimum...
