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.
When the deposit collected by the filter reaches a predetermined
amount, it is automatically cleaned.
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 trouble arises
VERSO-S_EE
DPF system warning light
(diesel engine only)
• Indicates that the DPF cat-
alytic converter needs to
be cleaned due to
repeated short trips and/or
low-speed driving.
• Indicates that the amount
of accumulated deposits in
the DPF catalytic con-
verter has reached the
specified level.To clean the DPF catalytic
converter, drive the vehicle
at a speed of 65 km/h (40
mph) or greater for 20 to 30
minutes as much as possi-
ble until the DPF system
warning light turns off.*3
Do not turn off the engine as
much as possible until the
DPF system warning light
turns off.
If it is not possible to drive
the vehicle at speeds of 65
km/h (40 mph) or greater, or
the DPF system warning
light does not turn off even
after driving for more than
30 minutes, have the vehi-
cle inspected by any autho-
rized Toyota dealer or
repairer, or another duly
qualified and equipped pro-
fessional.
(Flashes)Engine oil change
reminder light (diesel
engine only)
Indicates that the engine
oil is scheduled to be
changed.
Flashes approximately
14500 km (9000 miles)
after the engine oil is
changed. (P. 446) (The
indicator will not work
properly unless the oil
maintenance date has
been reset).Check the engine oil, and
change if necessary. After
changing the engine oil, the
oil change system should
be reset. (P. 373)

*1: Open door warning buzzer:
A buzzer will sound if the vehicle reaches a speed of 5 km/h (3 mph) or
more with any door open.
*
2: Driver's and passengers seat belt reminders:
The driver’s and passengers seat belt buzzer sounds to alert the driver and
passengers that their seat belt is not fastened. The buzzer sounds once
when the vehicle reaches a speed of 20 km/h (12 mph). Then, if the seat
belt is still unfastened after 30 seconds elapse, the buzzer will sound inter-
mittently for 30 seconds, followed by a different tone for 90 more seconds.

3: The DPF system warning light may not turn off when the engine oil change
reminder light is on. In this event, have the vehicle inspected by any autho-
rized Toyota dealer or repairer, or another duly qualified and equipped pro-
fessional. (Comes on)Engine oil change
reminder light (diesel
engine only)
Indicates that the engine
oil should be changed.
Comes on approximately
15000 km (9300 miles)
after the engine oil is
changed (and the oil main-
tenance data has been
reset).Check and change the

VERSO-S_EE
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 profes-
sional, as soon as possible.
Passenger detection sensor and passenger seat belt reminder
If luggage is placed on a passenger seat, the passenger detection sensor
may cause the warning light to flash even if a passenger is not sitting in
the seat.
If a cushion is placed on the seat, the sensor may not detect a passen-
ger, and the warning light may not operate properly.
If the engine oil change reminder light flashes (diesel engine only)
Repeated short trips and/or low-speed driving may cause the oil to degrade
sooner than usual, regardless of the actual distance driven. If this happens,
the engine oil change reminder light will flash.
Engine oil change reminder light comes on (diesel engine only)
Replace the engine oil and oil filter when the engine oil change reminder
light does not come on even if you have driven over 15000 km (9300 miles)
after the engine oil was changed.
There is a possibility that the engine oil change reminder light has been illu-
minated when you have driven less than 15000 km (9300 miles) based on a
usage or driving condition.
Electric power steering warning light (warning buzzer)
The electric power steering warning light may come on and the warning
buzzer may sound when the voltage is low or the voltage drops.

VERSO-S_EEEngine oil selection
“Toyota Genuine Motor Oil” is used in your Toyota vehicle. Toyota rec-
ommends the use of approved “Toyota Genuine Motor Oil”. Another
motor oil of matching quality can also be used.
1NR-FE engine
Oil grade:
0W-20, 5W-20, 5W-30 and 10W-30:
API grade SL “Energy-Conserving”, SM “Energy-Conserving”, SN
“Resource-Conserving” or ILSAC multigrade engine oil
15W-40 and 20W-50:
API grade SL, SM or SN multigrade engine oil
Recommended viscosity (SAE):
SAE 0W-20 is filled into your
Toyota vehicle at manufacturing,
and the best choice for good fuel
economy and good starting in
cold weather.
If SAE 0W-20 oil is not available,
SAE 5W-30 oil may be used.
However, it should be replaced
with SAE 0W-20 at the next oil
change.
If you use SAE 10W-30 or a
higher viscosity engine oil in
extremely low temperatures, the
engine may become difficult to
start, so SAE 5W-30 or lower vis-
cosity engine oil is recom-
mended.
Temperature range anticipated before
next oil change.

518 6-1. Specifications
VERSO-S_EE1ND-TV engine
Oil grade: ACEA C2
Recommended viscosity (SAE):
SAE 0W-30 is filled into your
Toyota vehicle at manufacturing,
and the best choice for good fuel
economy and good starting in
cold weather.
The 0W portion of the oil viscosity rating indicates the characteristic of the
oil which allows cold startability. Oils with a lower value before the W allow
for easier starting of the engine in cold weather.
The 30 in 0W-30 indicates the oil viscosity when the oil is at its operating
temperature. An oil with a higher viscosity may be better suited if the vehi-
cle is operated at high speeds, or under extreme load conditions.
NOTICE
Using engine oil other than ACEA C2 may damage the catalytic converter.
