Washer/wiper dual operation
The wipers will automatically
operate a couple of times after
the washer squirts.
If the headlights are on, the
headlight cleaners will operate
once.
And then, the headlight cleaners
will operate every five times you
pull the lever. (if equipped)
■ The windshield wipers and washer can be operated when
The engine switch is in the “ON” position (vehicles without smart entry & start
system) or IGNITION ON mode (vehicles with smart entry & start system).
■ If no windshield washer fluid sprays
Check that the washer nozzles are not blocked if there is washer fluid in the
windshield washer fluid reservoir.

WARNING
■ Caution regarding the use of washer fluid
When it is cold, do not use the washer fluid until the windshield becomes
warm. The fluid may freeze on the windshield and cause low visibility. This
may lead to an accident, resulting in death or serious injury.
NOTICE
■ When the windshield is dry
Do not use the wipers, as they may damage the windshield.
■ When the washer fluid tank is empty
Do not operate the switch continually as the washer fluid pump may over-
heat.
■ When a nozzle becomes blocked
In this case, contact any authorized Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized
repairer, or any reliable repairer.
Do not try to clear it with a pin or other object. The nozzle will be damaged.

TURNED OFF”/“TRC turned off” to be displayed on the multi-information dis-
play (if equipped) at this time.
•ABS
• Brake assist (if equipped)
• VSC (if equipped)
• TRC/A-TRC (if equipped)
• Trailer Sway Control (if equipped)
• Hill-start assist control (if equipped)
• Downhill assist control (if equipped)
■ For easy unlocking
Slightly turn the steering wheel in either direction while the vehicle is in
motion.
■ Automatic system cancelation of the rear differential lock system
The rear differential lock is also unlocked in any of the following situations:
● The front-wheel drive control switch is turned to H2 or H4 (4WD models)
● The engine switch is turned to the “ACC” or “LOCK” position (vehicles with-
out smart entry & start system) or A CCESSORY or off (vehicles with smart
entry & start system)
■ After unlocking the rear differential
Check that the indicator goes off.
WARNING
■ To avoid an accident
Failure to observe the following precautions may result in an accident.
● Do not use the rear differential lock system except when wheel spinning
occurs in a ditch or on a slippery or rugged surface. Large steering effort
and careful cornering control will be required.
● Do not lock the rear differential until the wheels have stopped spinning.
Otherwise, the vehicle may move in an unexpected direction when the dif-
ferential lock is engaged, resulting in an accident. This may also lead to
possible damage to rear differential lock component parts.
● Do not drive over 8 km/h (5 mph) when the differential is locked.
● Do not keep driving with the rear differential lock switch on.

■ System malfunction
In the following cases, have your vehicle checked by any authorized Toyota
retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or any reliable repairer.
● The downhill assist control system indicator does not come on when the
engine switch is turned to the “ON” position (vehicles without smart entry &
start system) or IGNITION ON mode (vehicles with smart entry & start sys-
tem).
● The downhill assist control system indicator does not come on when the
“DAC” switch is pressed.
● The slip indicator comes on.
WARNING
■When using downhill assist control system
● Do not rely overmuch on the downhill assist control system. This function
does not extend the vehicle’s performance limitations. Always thoroughly
check the road conditions, and drive safely.
● Vehicles with manual transmission: Drive in a low gear. Driving in a high
gear when using downhill assist control system may cause the engine to
stall, which may lose the brake effectiveness and lock the tires, resulting in
an accident.
● Vehicles with manual transmission: On a steep slope, use the engine brak-
ing efficiently. If the vehicle is driven in N or with the clutch pedal
depressed on a steep slope, the load on the brake increases and con-
trolling the vehicle speed may be impossible, resulting in an accident.
■ The system may not operate on the following surfaces, which may lead
to an accident causing death or serious injury
● Slippery surfaces such as wet or muddy roads
● Icy surface
● Unpaved roads

Vehicles with DPF system switch
● If the DPF system warning message “DPF FULL MANUAL
REGENERATION REQUIRED SEE OWNER’S MANUAL”/“DPF full
Manual regeneration required See owner’s manual” appears on the
display, follow the procedure below to regenerate.
Stop the vehicle in a safe place.
Shift the shift lever to P (automatic transmission) or N (manual
transmission), and firmly set the parking brake.
Do not stop the engine.
Also, make sure that there are no flammable materials near the exhaust
pipe. ( P. 400)
Check the engine is warmed up. If the engine is cold, warm up the engine
by depressing the accelerator pedal.*1
Press the DPF system switch.
The DPF system warning message
shown in the illustration appears
on the display, and the idling
engine speed will increase.
Regeneration will take around 30 - 40 minutes to complete.*2
When the DPF system warning message goes out, the idling engine
speed will have finished returning to normal.
The DPF system switch may not operate when the vehicle is higher
than 4000 m (13123 ft.) above sea level.
*1: Depending on the situation, it may be necessary to depress the accelera-
tor pedal until the engine speed is increased to 3000 rpm. If the engine
coolant temperature or exhaust gas tem perature is low, it may take a long
time to regenerate, or regeneration may be impossible.
*2: Time required for regeneration differs in accordance with the outside tem-
perature. Also, if the engine speed is still approximately 2000 rpm 10 min-
utes after pressing the DPF system switch, the exhaust gas temperature
may be low. In this case, depress the accelerator pedal to run the engine
at approximately 3000 rpm for a while.

4024-6. Driving tips
HILUX_OM_OM0K322E_(EE)
Winter driving tips
●Use fluids that are appropriate to the prevailing outside tempera-
tures.
• Engine oil
• Engine coolant
• Washer fluid
● Have a service technician inspect the condition of the battery.
● Have the vehicle fitted with four snow tires or purchase a set of tire
chains for the rear tires.
Ensure that all tires are the same size and brand, and that chains match
the size of the tires.
Perform the following according to the driving conditions:
● Do not try to forcibly open a window or move a wiper that is frozen.
Pour warm water over the frozen area to melt the ice. Wipe away
the water immediately to prevent it from freezing.
● To ensure proper operation of the climate control system fan,
remove any snow that has accumulated on the air inlet vents in
front of the windshield.
● Check for and remove any excess ice or snow that may have accu-
mulated on the exterior lights, vehicle’s roof, chassis, around the
tires or on the brakes.
● Remove any snow or mud from the bottom of your shoes before
getting in the vehicle.
Carry out the necessary preparations and inspections before
driving the vehicle in winter. Always drive the vehicle in a man-
ner appropriate to the prevailing weather conditions.

When the engine switch is turned to the “ON” position (vehicles with-
out smart entry & start system) or IGNITION ON mode (vehicles with
smart entry & start system), the red indicator light will illuminate for 10
seconds and then the green indicator light will illuminate, indicating
that the system is enabled. The indicator lights indicate the following:
●If the green indicator light illuminates and stays on, the system is
enabled.
●If the green indicator light flashes twice per second, an automatic or
manual Emergency Call is being made.
●If no indicator lights illuminate, the system is not enabled.
●If the red indicator light illuminates at any time other than immedi-
ately after the engine switch is turned to the “ON” position (vehicles
without smart entry & start system) or IGNITION ON mode (vehi-
cles with smart entry & start system), the system may be malfunc-
tioning or the backup battery may be depleted.
●If the red indicator light blinks for approximately 30 seconds during
an Emergency Call, the call has been disconnected or the cellular
network signal is weak.
The service life of the backup battery does not exceed 3 years.
A test mode is provided for to check the performance of the Emer-
gency Call system. To test the device, contact any authorized Toyota
retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or any reliable repairer.
