2424-1. Before driving
UK_AURIS/AURIS_HV_EE (OM12E33E)
NOTICE
If you get a flat tire while driving
A flat or damaged tire may cause the following situations. Hold the steering
wheel firmly and gradually depress the brake pedal to slow down the vehi-
cle.
It may be difficult to control your vehicle.
The vehicle will make abnormal sounds or vibrations.
The vehicle will lean abnormally.
Information on what to do in case of a flat tire (P. 626, 638)
When encountering flooded roads
Do not drive on a road that has flooded after heavy rain etc. Doing so may
cause the following serious damage to the vehicle:
Engine stalling
Short in electrical components
Engine damage caused by water immersion
In the event that you drive on a flooded road and the vehicle is flooded, be
sure to have any authorized Toyota dealer or repairer, or another duly quali-
fied and equipped professional check the following:
Brake function
Except hybrid model: Changes in quantity and quality of engine oil, tran-
saxle fluid, etc.
Hybrid model: Changes in quantity and quality of engine oil, hybrid tran-
saxle fluid, etc.
Lubricant condition for the bearings and suspension joints (where possi-
ble), and the function of all joints, bearings, etc.
Hybrid model: If the P position control system is damaged by flooding, it
may not be possible to shift the shift position to P, or from P to other posi-
tions. When the shift position cannot be changed from P to any other posi-
tion, the front wheels will lock, and you will be unable to tow the vehicle with
the front wheels on the ground, as the front wheels may be locked. In this
case, transport the vehicle with both front wheels or all four wheels lifted.

3644-5. Using the driving support systems
UK_AURIS/AURIS_HV_EE (OM12E33E)
Cleaning the DPF catalytic converter
Cleaning the DPF catalytic converter is performed as necessary in
accordance with driving conditions.
Equipment characteristics
The DPF system has the following characteristics:
Idle speed increases during cleaning
The smell of the exhaust gas changes
When starting the engine, white-colored steam (water vapor)
may be expelled during cleaning
Acceleration performance may degrade during cleaning
Replacing the engine oil
P. 497
Diesel particulate filter system (diesel
engine only)
When the deposit collected by the filter reaches a predetermined
amount, it is automatically cleaned.
CAUTION
Exhaust pipe
Do not touch the exhaust pipe during regeneration, as the exhaust pipe and
exhaust gases will become particularly hot. Also, make sure that there are
no people or flammable materials near the exhaust pipe while the vehicle is
stopped.
Failure to do so may cause injury by burning or a fire.

Use fluids that are appropriate to the prevailing outside tempera-
tures.
• Engine oil

tery.
Have the vehicle fitted with four snow tires or purchase a set of tire
chains for the front tires.
Ensure that all tires are the specified size and brand, and that chains
match the size of the tires.
