Maintenance and care
AdBlue™ is used to reduce the amount of nitrogen oxides in exhaust 
gas. AdBlue™ is consumed in the process of driving. Therefore, 
observe the following precautions. 
● 1.0 L (1.1 qt., 0.9 Imp.qt.) of AdBlue™ is consumed every 1500 km 
(932 miles). Normally, after a full refill, the vehicle can be driven for 
approximately 15000 km (9321 miles) before all AdBlue™ is 
depleted. 
However, AdBlue™ may become completely depleted sooner 
depending on driving conditions. 
● When the possible driving range based on the remaining amount of 
AdBlue™ reaches approximately 2400 km (1492 miles), the low
AdBlue™ level warning light turns on and a warning message is 
displayed. 
● When AdBlue™ is depleted, the engine cannot be restarted.  
● If AdBlue™ is accidentally spilled while refilling, vehicle parts, paint, 
etc. may be damaged. 
When AdBlue™ needs to be refilled, have it refilled at any authorized 
Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or any reliable repairer. 
It may be a criminal offence to use a vehicle that does not consume 
any reagent if it is required for the reduction of emissions.
■AdBlue™ warning light and warning message 
When the AdBlue™ level is low, 
the low AdBlue™ level warning 
light turns on and a warning 
message appears on the multi- 
information display. ( P. 562)  
When refilling AdBlue™ by 
yourself in an emergency, be 
sure to follow the correct refill-
ing procedures. ( P. 563)

Maintenance and care
■Refilling AdBlue™ by yourself in an emergency 
When the engine cannot be restarted due to the depletion of 
AdBlue™, adding approximately 5.0 L (5.3 qt., 4.4 Imp.qt.) or more 
of AdBlue™ will allow the engine to be started again. Perform the 
following procedures to refill AdBlue™. (The AdBlue™ tank has a 
capacity of 13.8 L [14.6 qt., 12.1 Imp.qt.].)
Refilling with the refilling equipment 
Park the vehicle on a level surface, turn the engine switch off, 
and then open the hood. ( P. 545) 
Open the AdBlue™ tank cap. 
Insert the nozzle and refill 
AdBlue™. 
Close the AdBlue™ tank cap.

then remove it.
Repeat steps 3 to 5 until approx- 
imately 5.0 L (5.3 qt., 4.4 
Imp.qt.) or more of AdBlue™

Observe the following precautions.  
Failure to do so may result in damage to the vehicle parts, paint, etc. 
● Do not use urea solution other than AdBlue™. 
● If AdBlue™ comes into contact with any painted surfaces on the vehicle, 
immediately wash the affected areas with water. 
● If AdBlue™ is spilled inside the engine compartment, immediately wipe it 
with a wet cloth. 
■ When refilling AdBlue™ with the refilling equipment

AdBlue™ tank: 
● Securely insert the nozzle into the AdBlue™ filler neck. 
● Stop filling the tank after the nozzle automatically clicks off. 
● Do not top off the AdBlue™ tank. 
■ When storing AdBlue™ containers 
Observe the following precautions.  
Failure to do so may result in damage to vehicle parts, paint, etc., and 
changes in the chemical compounds of AdBlue™ may cause unpleasant
odors. 
● Do not leave AdBlue™ containers inside the vehicle.  
● Tightly seal AdBlue™ containers and store them in a cool, dry location 
with good ventilation and no exposure to direct sunlight.
