What is this? This is about some Toyota Proace vans. A part that helps clean the engine’s fumes may not work right in very cold weather.

What's happening? When it is very cold, the fluid that cleans the fumes can freeze. Then the van might put out more fumes than it should for a short time.

Does this affect me? If you own or drive a Toyota Proace van in Portugal, Bulgaria, France, Croatia, Hungary, Iceland, Poland, Sweden, Slovenia, or Slovakia, this could affect you.

What should I do? Take your van to a Toyota dealer or mechanic. Ask your pharmacist or doctor if you need help with this.
