WARNING
■ Conditions in which the use of Simple-IPA is prohibited
Do not use Simple-IPA under the following conditions.
Doing so may cause improper operation and lead to an unexpected acci-
dent.
●On sharp bends or slopes.
● On slippery or icy roads, or in snow.
● On uneven road surfaces such as gravel.
● During bad weather such as heavy rain, fog, snow, or a sandstorm.
● When the tires are extremely worn or tire pressure is low.
● When the vehicle has improper wheel alignment due to tires having
received a strong impact such as bumping against a curb.
● When the compact spare tire (if equipped) or snow chains are installed.
● When the tires slid while attempting to park.
● When fallen leaves or snow is in a parking space.
● Models that can tow a trailer: When item s such as a towing bracket, trailer,
bicycle carrier, etc. are installed on the rear of the vehicle.
● When a vehicle of which the front/rear end is above the detection area,
such as a truck, bus or vehicle with a towing bracket, trailer, bicycle carrier,
etc., is parked at the front or rear of the parking space.
● If the front bumper has been damaged.
● If the sensor is covered by the front bumper cover, etc.
● If a vehicle or obstacle is not in a suit able position at the front or rear of the
parking space.
■ Automatic steering precautions
As the steering wheel moves automatically in the parking assist function, be
aware of the following point.
●Keep clothing such as neckties, scarves and long sleeves away from the
steering wheel, as they may become entangled. Also, keep children away

Maintenance and care
■Adding engine oil
If the oil level is below or near
the low level mark, add engine
oil of the same type as that
already in the engine.
Make sure to check the oil type
and prepare the items needed
before adding oil.Remove the oil filler cap by turning it counterclockwise.
Add engine oil slowly, checking the dipstick.
Install the oil filler cap by turning it clockwise.
■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

Maintenance and care
■If the tread on snow tires wears down below 4 mm (0.16 in.)
The effectiveness of the tires as snow tires is lost.
■ Situations in which the tire pressure warning system may not operate
properly (vehicles with a tire pressure warning system)
●In the following cases, the tire pressure warning system may not operate
properly.
• If non-genuine Toyota wheels are used.
• A tire has been replaced with a tire t hat is not an OE (Original Equipment)
tire.
• A tire has been replaced with a tire that is not of the specified size.
• Tire chains etc. are equipped.
• An auxiliary-supported run-flat tire is equipped.
• If a window tint that affects the radio wave signals is installed.
• If there is a lot of snow or ice on the vehicle, particularly around the
wheels or wheel housings.
• If the tire inflation pressure is extremely higher than the specified level.
• If tires not equipped with tire pressure warning valves and transmitters
are used.
• If the ID code on the tire pressure warning valves and transmitters is not
registered in the tire pressure warning computer.
● Performance may be affected in the following situations.
• Near a TV tower, electric power plant, gas station, radio station, large dis-
play, airport or other facility that generates strong radio waves or electri-
cal noise.
• When carrying a portable radio, cellular phone, cordless phone or other wireless communication device.
● When the vehicle is parked, the time taken for the warning to start or go off
could be extended.
● When tire inflation pressure declines rapidly for example when a tire has
burst, the warning may not function.

Maintenance and care
WARNING
■ When inspecting or replacing tires
Observe the following precautions to prevent accidents.
Failure to do so may cause damage to parts of the drivetrain as well as dan-
gerous 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.
