The 2014 North American International Auto Show is in full swing!  Looking at all these new ideas has us thinking back to the shows of past years.  Whether or not they actually reach production, concept cars are fascinating to look at-- especially when they come from the visionaries at Toyota.

What's that smell? Train your nose, save some hassle.

IF IT SMELLS LIKE...	IT COULD MEAN...
BURNING CARPET	The drive belts could be slipping or it could indicate misplaced loose hoses rubbing against rotating accessory drive pulleys.
ROTTEN EGGS	This is likely a problem with your catalytic converter, either having to do with the transfer of sulfur dioxide or indicating a poorly running engine.  Have it checked out; this could cause your vehicle to overheat.
SWEET SYRUP	Leaking engine coolant.  DO NOT open the radiator cap while it's hot.
GASOLINE	Any smell of fuel can mean a fire hazard--give this smell immediate attention.  If it smells like gasoline, that's likely (but not always)  what's leaking.
BURNING RUBBER	This might indicate a problem with your brakes.  You should have your vehicle checked out immediately.

If you sense anything (smell, sound, feel) out of the ordinary with your Toyota, remember that it's always better to be safe than sorry.  Make an appointment to have one of our professionals take a look-- you can even schedule it online!  We'll get you back on the road as quickly as possible, with the confidence that you're protecting what matters most: you and your passengers.
