91-2. Snorkel
Snorkel (if equipped)
Your vehicle may be tted with a
snorkel.
The snorkel, with its higher air-
entry height, is designed to provide
cleaner air to the engine in dusty
conditions.
The snorkel head should be forward-
facing for normal driving to ensure
optimum engine performance.
Rotating the snorkel head
The snorkel head should be rotated to face rearwards during prolonged
or heavy rainstorm, snowstorm, insect swarms or extremely dusty driving
conditions to minimise foreign material intake to the engine air inlet system.
To rotate the snorkel head, loosen the 2 screws at the base of the head to
disengage them from the main snorkel body (do not fully remove the screws
from the head itself as they are designed to be retained to avoid loss).
Lift the snorkel head o and rotate it 180° to face rearwards, ret and re-tighten
the screws.
NOTICE
zAvoid directing water into the ram head opening
during vehicle washing.
zPeriodically check to ensure the drainage holes
underneath the snorkel are open/clear.
zThe snorkel does not increase the vehicle's water
wading depth capability.
Care instructions
Do not wash the snorkel surfaces using abrasive sponges.
Avoid application of any cutting or polishing compound to the snorkel
surface to prevent surface discolouration/marking.
Avoid directing water into the ram head opening during vehicle washing.
Periodically check to ensure the drainage holes underneath the snorkel
are open/clear.

10 1-3. Recovery points
Recovery points (if equipped)
WARNING
Death, serious injury and vehicle damage could occur if the recovery points
are used incorrectly.
Do not use recovery points if any parts are bent or bolts are loose. Any such
parts must be replaced at your Toyota Dealer.
Always follow manufacturer’s instructions in relation to the tment of recovery
devices to the recovery points.
Incorrect tment or usage may result in potential whip of recovery device and
unintended or uncontrolled movement of the vehicle(s).
Vehicle recovery has risks which need to be assessed and managed before
every recovery operation to ensure the safety of all persons in and near the
vehicle(s).
Your vehicle may be tted with recovery points.
Always follow these instructions along with the manufacturer’s instructions
when using aftermarket products with the recovery points.
It is recommended to use the recovery points with a snatch strap or a winch:
zOnly use a snatch strap with a rating of 8000kg
zOnly use a winch with maximum capacity up to 6800kg (15000lb)
Fitting bow shackle
We recommend using a bridle
connected by two 3.2t or two 4.75t
rated bow shackles.
When tting the shackle, pass the
eye of the shackle through the
recovery point slot. The pin should
pass through the recovery strap or
bridle, and not the recovery point
slot (see diagram).
