When adding engine oil (1ND-TV engine only)
Do not overfill the engine. Use the dipstick to ensure that the oil level does not
exceed the full mark. If exceeded, the oil level will have to be adjusted to
below the full mark.
Engine oil consumption
A certain amount of engine oil will be consumed while driving. In the following
situations, oil consumption may increase, and engine oil may need to be
refilled in between oil maintenance intervals.
When the engine is new, for example directly after purchasing the vehicle or
after replacing the engine
If low quality oil or oil of an inappropriate viscosity is used
When driving at high engine speeds or with a heavy load, when towing, or
when driving while accelerating or decelerating frequently
When leaving the engine idling for a long time, or when driving frequently
through heavy traffic
After changing the engine oil (diesel engine only)
The engine oil maintenance data should be reset. Perform the following pro-
cedures:
Switch the display to the trip meter “A” when the engine is running.
(P. 90, 95)
Turn the engine switch off.
Vehicles without a smart entry & start system:
While pressing the display change button (P. 90, 95), turn the engine
switch to the “ON” position (do not start the engine because reset mode will
be canceled). Continue to press and hold the button until the trip meter dis-
plays “000000”.
Vehicles with a smart entry & start system:
While pressing the display change button (P. 90, 95), turn the engine
switch to the IGNITION ON mode (do not start the engine because other-
wise the reset mode will be canceled). Continue to press and hold the but-
ton until the trip meter displays “000000”.

How to initialize the tire pressure warning system
Park the vehicle in a safe place and turn the engine switch off.
Initialization cannot be performed while the vehicle is moving.
Adjust the tire inflation pressure to the specified cold tire inflation
pressure level. (P. 599)
Make sure to adjust the tire pressure to the specified cold tire inflation
pressure level. The tire pressure warning system will operate based on
this pressure level.
Turn the engine switch to IGNITION ON mode (vehicles with a
smart entry & start system) or engine switch to the “ON” position
(vehicles without a smart entry & start system).
Open the glove box. Press
and hold the tire pressure
warning reset switch until the
tire pressure warning light
blinks slowly 3 times.
Vehicles with a smart entry & start system: Wait for a few minutes
with the engine switch in IGNITION ON mode and then turn the
engine switch off.
Vehicles without a smart entry & start system: Wait for a few min-
utes with the engine switch in the “ON” position and then turn the
engine switch to the “ACC” or “LOCK” position.

Maintenance and care
The initialization operation (vehicles with a tire pressure warning sys-
tem)
Make sure to carry out initialization after adjusting the tire inflation pressure.
Also, make sure the tires are cold before carrying out initialization or tire
inflation pressure adjustment.
If you have accidentally turned the engine switch off during initialization, it is
not necessary to press the reset switch again as initialization will restart
automatically when the engine switch has been turned to IGNITION ON
mode (vehicles with a smart entry & start system) or engine switch to the
“ON” position (vehicles without a smart entry & start system) for the next
time.
If you accidentally press the reset switch when initialization is not necessary,
adjust the tire inflation pressure to the specified level when the tires are
cold, and conduct initialization again.
Warning performance of the tire pressure warning system (vehicles with
a tire pressure warning system)
The warning of the tire pressure warning system will change in accordance
with driving conditions. For this reason, the system may give a warning even
if the tire pressure does not reach a low enough level, or if the pressure is
higher than the pressure that was adjusted to when the system was initial-
ized.
When initialization of the tire pressure warning system has failed (vehi-
cles with a tire pressure warning system)
Initialization can be completed in a few minutes. However, in the following
cases, the settings have not been recorded and the system will not operate
properly. If repeated attempts to record tire inflation pressure settings are
unsuccessful, have the vehicle inspected by any authorized Toyota dealer or
repairer, or another duly qualified and equipped professional as soon as pos-
sible.
When operating the tire pressure warning reset switch, the tire pressure
warning light does not blink 3 times.
After driving for a certain period of time since the initialization has been
completed, the warning light comes on after blinking for 1 minute.

CAUTION
When inspecting or replacing tires
Observe the following precautions to prevent accidents.
Failure to do so may cause damage to parts of the drive train as well as
dangerous handling characteristics, which may lead to an accident resulting
in death or serious injury.
Do not mix tires of different makes, models or tread patterns.
Also, do not mix tires of remarkably different treadwear.
Do not use tire sizes other than those recommended by Toyota.
Do not mix differently constructed tires (radial, bias-belted or bias-ply
tires).
Do not mix summer, all season and snow tires.
Do not use tires that have been used on another vehicle.
Do not use tires if you do not know how they were used previously.
Vehicles with a compact spare tire: Do not tow if your vehicle has a com-
pact spare tire installed.
When initializing the tire pressure warning system (vehicles with a tire
pressure warning system)
Do not operate the tire pressure warning reset switch without first adjusting
the tire inflation pressure to the specified level. Otherwise, the tire pressure
warning light may not come on even if the tire inflation pressure is low, or it
may come on when the tire inflation pressure is actually normal.
