If the malfunction indicator lamp comes on while driving
For some models, the malfunction indicator lamp will come on if the fuel tank
becomes completely empty. If the fuel tank is empty, refuel the vehicle
immediately. The malfunction indicator lamp will go off after several trips.
If the malfunction indicator lamp does not go off, contact any authorized
Toyota dealer or repairer, or another duly qualified and equipped

If the DPF system warning light comes on
The deposit collected in the filter needs to be regenerated.
To regenerate the filter, the following driving methods are recommended
*:
By driving continuously (for example, at around 60 km/h [37 mph] for
approximately 20 minutes).
By avoiding short trips, or by driving continuously (leaving the engine
running for long periods of time).
The DPF warning light will extinguish when regeneration is complete. How-
ever, if this driving cannot be carried out, or if the light does not extinguish
even after driving, have the vehicle inspected by any authorized Toyota
