AVENSIS_OM_OM20B88E_(EE)
NOTICE
To prevent damage to your vehicle
Do not turn the heater on and off repeatedly in 5 minute intervals as this
can shorten the life of the heater components. If the engine must be turned
on and off repeatedly within short intervals (such as when the vehicle is
being used for delivery purposes), turn the heater off.
Do not modify or open the heater without consulting any authorized Toyota
dealer or repairer, or another duly qualified and equipped professional.
This may cause a heater malfunction or a fire.
Be careful not to splash water or spill liquid directly on the heater or on the
heater fuel pump. This may cause the heater to malfunction.
Keep the intake and exhaust pipes of the heater free from water, snow,
ice, mud, etc. If the pipes become clogged, this can cause the heater to
malfunction.
If you notice anything unusual, such as a fluid leak, smoke or poor opera-
tion, turn off the heater and have your vehicle checked by any authorized
Toyota dealer or repairer, or another duly qualified and equipped profes-
sional.

Fuel pump shut off system (gasoline engine)
Follow the procedure below to restart the engine after the system is
activated.
Vehicles with smart entry & start system:
Turn the “ENGINE START STOP” switch to ACCESSORY mode
or OFF.
Vehicles without smart entry & start system:
Turn the engine switch to the “ACC” or “LOCK” position.
Restart the engine.
NOTICE
Before starting the engine
Inspect the ground under the vehicle.
If you find that fuel has leaked on to the ground, the fuel system has been
damaged and is in need of repair. Do not restart the engine.
To minimize the risk of fuel leakage when the engine stalls or an air-
bag inflates upon collision, the fuel pump shut off system stops sup-
plying fuel to the engine.

When trouble arises
AVENSIS_OM_OM20B88E_(EE)
Warning light display in radar cruise mode (if equipped)
In the following cases, the warning light may not be displayed even if vehi-
cle-to-vehicle distance decreases:
When your vehicle and the vehicle ahead are traveling at the same
speed or the vehicle ahead is traveling more quickly than your vehicle
When the vehicle ahead is traveling at a very low speed
Immediately after cruise control speed is set
At the instant the accelerator pedal is depressed
After changing the engine oil (Diesel engine)
Make sure to reset the oil maintenance data. (P. 534)
NOTICE
While the engine oil level warning is displayed
Continued engine operation with low engine oil will damage the engine.

If the “DRAIN WATER FROM FUEL FILTER” warning message is dis-
played (diesel engine)

ing with water accumulated in the fuel filter will damage the fuel injection
