This unresolved issue deserves its own thread.
Problem:
With the back aircon in use or " on ", outside smoke smell is apparent esp. when stuck beside old diesel powered PUV, bus, delivery vans, and tricycles. When not around these types of vehicles, smell is not detected.
Solution: None so far

We can tell from the replies of other owners that this " problem " exists in all variants.
I don't know what kind of engine - gas or diesel, do those owners with this problem, have. But I noticed, gas or vvt-i owners are not experiencing this. ie. Louie_18 and CVT. I don't know about ericson21. I think the others are D-4D owners.
I think it was either GINNOVA, mile2 or wakin, who posted that rubber flaps covered by the rear bumpers are operated (opens/closes) depending on the cabin pressure. I noticed the location of the rubber flaps is quite close to the tail pipe of the Innova. Could it be that D-4D owners with this problem are probably smelling the smoke coming from their own vehicle's tail pipe? Just a hypothesis.

I would think its not the aircon itself that is at fault. The rear ac does not draw air from outside the vehicle. However if odors enter the cabin via holes in the floor or through the weather seals and it gets sucked by the ac blower located in the quarter panel, it will give the impression that the odor is travelling via the ac system.
The rear rubber flaps are gravity and pressure operated. If the manufacturerof that part (Toyota doesnt make them) supplies a part which allows air in (it supposed to act as a one way valve), then it will allow odors to enter when the vehicle is at a standstill. And ues that includes even the innovas own emissions,

March 27th, 2012 11:33 AM #82011 G vvt-i owner here, and yes i as stated in the huge Innova thread, yes I experience this. One thing that make me certain that the entry point is somewhere on the rear end are these 2 instances on separate occassions.
- Rear A/C ON and traffic: A jeepney is on my right side and his muffler is on his left. I CAN smell his smoke
- Rear AC OFF and traffic: A jeepney is on my right side and his muffler is on his left. I CANNOT smell his smoke
BTW, I just sent TMP an email about this with a link to this thread.
Hi,
There had been numerous discussions in Tsikot.com board about the Innova units sucking in outside air. I am personally experiencing this in my 2011 G vvt-i variant.
Can you please shed some light on this issue?
