Washer fluid
If the fluid level is extremely low,
add washer fluid.
Raise the cap keeping your finger
pressed down on the hole in the
center and check the fluid level in
the tube.
CAUTION
When refilling the washer fluid
Do not refill the washer fluid when the engine is hot or running, as the
washer fluid contains alcohol and may catch fire if spilled on the engine etc.
NOTICE
Do not use any fluid other than washer fluid
Do not use soapy water or engine antifreeze instead of washer fluid.
Doing so may cause streaking on the vehicle’s painted surfaces.

Fuel filter (diesel engine)
You may drain the fuel filter yourself. However, as the operation is dif-
ficult, we recommend having it drained by any authorized Toyota
dealer or repairer, or another duly qualified and equipped profes-
sional. Event if you decide to drain it yourself, contact any authorized
Toyota dealer or repairer, or another duly qualified and equipped pro-
fessional.
The water in the fuel filter needs to be drained if the “DRAIN WATER
FROM FUEL FILTER” warning message is shown on the multi-infor-
mation display and a buzzer sounds. (P. 629)
Turn the “ENGINE START STOP” switch to off (vehicles with
smart entry & start system) or the engine switch to the “LOCK”
position (vehicles without smart entry & start system).
Place a small tray under the drain plug to catch the water and
any fuel that comes out.

NOTICE
Driving on rough roads
Take particular care when driving on roads with loose surfaces or pot holes.
These conditions may cause losses in tire inflation pressure, reducing the
cushioning ability of the tires. In addition driving on rough roads may cause
damage to the tires themselves, as well as the vehicle’s wheels and body.
Low profile tires (225/45R18 tires)
Low profile tires may cause greater damage than usual to the wheel when
receiving impact from the road surface. Therefore pay attention to the follow-
ing:
Be sure to use proper tire inflation pressure. If tires are under-inflated, they
may be damaged more severely.
Avoid pot holes, uneven pavement, curbs and other road hazards. Failure
to do so can lead to severe tire and wheel damage.
Extra Load tires (225/45R18 95W tires)
2AD-FTV and 2AD-FHV engines: Vehicles fitted with 18 inch tires have
Extra Load capacity (95W) due to front axle weight. When replacing the tires
in after market, the customer should select tires with same load index.
If tire inflation pressures become low while driving
Do not continue driving, or your tires and/or wheels may be ruined.
