5347-1. Maintenance and care
HILUX_OM_OM0K322E_(EE)
Cleaning and protecting the vehicle
exterior
● Working from top to bottom, liberally apply water to the vehicle
body, wheel wells and underside of the vehicle to remove any dirt
and dust.
● Wash the vehicle body using a sponge or soft cloth, such as a
chamois.
● For hard-to-remove marks, use car wash soap and rinse thoroughly
with water.
● Wipe away any water.
● Wax the vehicle when the waterproof coating deteriorates.
If water does not bead on a clean surface, apply wax when the vehicle
body is cool.
■ Automatic car washes
● Fold the mirrors and remove the antenna before washing the vehicle. Start
washing from the front of the vehicle. Make sure to re-install the antenna
and extend the mirrors before driving.
● Brushes used in automatic car washes may scratch the vehicle surface and
harm your vehicle’s paint.
■ High pressure car washes
● Do not allow the nozzles of the car wash to come within close proximity of
the windows.
● Vehicles with fuel filler door: Before using the car wash, check that the fuel
filler door on your vehicle is closed properly.
Perform the following to protect the vehicle and maintain it in
prime condition:

Maintenance and care
Tire inflation pressure
■Effects of incorrect tire inflation pressure
Driving with incorrect tire inflation pressure may result in the following:
● Reduced fuel economy
● Reduced driving comfort and poor handling
● Reduced tire life due to wear
● Reduced safety
● Damage to the drive train
If a tire needs frequent inflating, have it checked by any authorized Toyota
retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or any reliable repairer.
■ Instructions for checking tire inflation pressure
When checking tire inflation pressure, observe the following:
● Check only when the tires are cold.
If your vehicle has been parked for at least 3 hours or has not been driven
for more than 1.5 km or 1 mile, you will get an accurate cold tire inflation
pressure reading.
● Always use a tire pressure gauge.
It is difficult to judge if a tire is properly inflated based only on its appear-
ance.
● It is normal for the tire inflation pressure to be higher after driving as heat is
generated in the tire. Do not reduce tire inflation pressure after driving.
● Passengers and luggage weight should be placed so that the vehicle is bal-
anced.
Make sure to maintain proper tire inflation pressure. Tire infla-
tion pressure should be checked at least once per month. How-
ever, Toyota recommends that tire inflation pressure be checked
once every two weeks. ( P. 689)

When trouble arises
WARNING
■If a warning light comes on or a warning buzzer sounds when a warn-
ing message is shown on the multi-information display (vehicles with
multi-information display)
Check and follow the message shown on the multi-information display. Fail-
ure to do so may result in death or serious injury.
■ If both the ABS and the brake system warning lights remain on
Stop your vehicle in a safe place immediately and contact any authorized
Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized r epairer, or any reliable repairer. The
vehicle will become extremely unstable during braking, and the ABS system
may fail, which could cause an accident resulting in death or serious injury.
NOTICE
■ If the malfunction indicator lamp comes on when the boost pressure in
the turbocharger is abnormally high (diesel engine)
Never drive at high speed or race the engine even after the lamp goes off.
■ If the fuel system warning light flashes (diesel engine)
Never drive the vehicle with the warn ing light flashing. Continued driving
with water accumulated in the fuel filter will damage the fuel injection pump.

When trouble arises
■If a message that indicates the need for the shift lever operation is
shown
To prevent the shift lever from being operated incorrectly or the vehicle from
moving unexpectedly, a message that requires shifting the shift lever may be
shown on the multi-information display. In that case, follow the instruction of
the message and shift the shift lever.
■ If “SEE OWNER’S MANUAL”/“See owner’s manual” is shown on the
multi-information display
● If the following messages are shown, follow the instructions accordingly.
• “TRANSMISSION FLUID TEMP HIGH”/“Transmission fluid temp high”
( P. 283)
• “WATER ACCUMULATION IN FUEL FILTER”/“Water accumulation in
fuel filter” ( P. 560)
• “AdBlue LEVEL LOW FILL UP AdBlue IN 2400 km”/“AdBlue level low Fill
up AdBlue in 2400 km” ( P. 562)
• “AdBlue LEVEL LOW NO START IN 800 km! FILL UP AdBlue”/“AdBlue
level low No start in 800 km! Fill up AdBlue” ( P. 5 6 2 )
• “AdBlue EMPTY UNABLE TO RESTART ENGINE FILL UP AdBlue”/
“AdBlue empty Unable to restart engine Fill up AdBlue” ( P. 562)
● If “SMART ENTRY & START SYSTEM MALFUNCTION”/“Smart entry &
start system malfunction” is shown, this may be a malfunction.
Immediately have the vehicle inspected by any authorized Toyota retailer or
Toyota authorized repairer, or any reliable repairer.
● If “Low oil pressure Stop in a safe place” is shown, there may be a malfunc-
tion.
Immediately stop the vehicle in a safe place and contact any authorized
Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or any reliable repairer.
Continuing to drive the vehicle may be dangerous.
■ If “VISIT YOUR DEALER”/“Visit your dealer” is shown on the multi-infor-
mation display
The system or part shown on the multi- information display is malfunctioning.
Have the vehicle inspected by any authorized Toyota retailer or Toyota autho-
rized repairer, or any reliable repairer immediately.
■ Warning buzzer
In some cases, the buzzer may not be heard due to being in a noisy location
or audio sound.
