■If the SRS airbags deploy (inflate) 
● Slight abrasions, burns, bruising etc., may be sustained from SRS airbags, 
due to the extremely high speed deployment (inflation) by hot gases. 
● A loud noise and white powder will be emitted. 
● Vehicles without SRS curtain shield airbags: Parts of the airbag module 
(steering wheel hub, airbag cover and inflator) as well as the front seats may 
be hot for several minutes. The airbag itself may also be hot. 
● Vehicles with SRS curtain shield airbags: Parts of the airbag module (steer- 
ing wheel hub, airbag cover and inflator) as well as the front seats, parts of 
the front and rear pillars, and roof side rails, may be hot for several minutes.
The airbag itself may also be hot. 
● The windshield may crack. 
● Vehicles with ERA-GLONASS/EVAK: If the SRS airbags deploy, the system 
is designed to send an emergency call* to the ERA-GLONASS/EVAK con- 
trol center, notifying them of the vehicle’s location (without needing to push 
the “SOS” button) and an agent will attempt to speak with the occupants to
ascertain the level of emergency and assistance required. If the occupants 
are unable to communicate, the agent automatically treats the call as an 
emergency and helps to dispatch the necessary emergency services. 
( P. 528)
*: In some cases, the call cannot be made. (P. 531) 
■ SRS airbag deployment conditions (SRS front airbags) 
● The SRS front airbags will deploy in the event of an impact that exceeds the 
set threshold level (the level of force corresponding to an approximately 20 -
30 km/h [12 - 18 mph] frontal collision with a fixed wall that does not move or 
deform). 
However, this threshold velocity will be considerably higher in the following 
situations: 
• If the vehicle strikes an object, such as a parked vehicle or sign pole, 
which can move or deform on impact
• If the vehicle is involved in an underride collision, such as a collision in 
which the front of the vehicle “underrides”, or goes under, the bed of a 
truck 
● Depending on the type of collision, it is possible that only the seat belt pre- 
tensioners will activate. 
● Vehicles with front passenger occupant classification system: The SRS front 
airbags for the front passenger will not activate if there is no passenger sit-
ting in the front passenger seat. However, the SRS front airbags for the front 
passenger may deploy if luggage is put in the seat, even if the seat is unoc- 
cupied. 

3044-4. Refueling
HILUX_OM_OM0K322E_(EE)
Opening the fuel tank cap
●Close all the doors and windows, and turn the engine switch to the 
“LOCK” position (vehicles without smart entry & start system) or off 
(vehicles with smart entry & start system). 
● Confirm the type of fuel.
■Fuel types 
 P. 692 
■ Fuel tank opening for unleaded gasoline (gasoline engine) 
To help prevent incorrect fueling, your vehicle has a fuel tank opening that 
only accommodates the special nozzle on unleaded fuel pumps.
Perform the following steps to open the fuel tank cap:

WARNING
●Vehicles with DPF system switch: Do not carry out regeneration when the 
vehicle is in an enclosed area, such as a garage. 
● Do not touch the exhaust pipe and exhaust gases during regeneration. 
■ If the malfunction indicator lamp comes on 
The malfunction indicator lamp comes on if you continue driving while the 
DPF system warning message appears on the display. In this event, dam- 
age may be caused to the vehicle or an accident may occur. Have the vehi- 
cle inspected by any authorized Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized
repairer, or any reliable repairer immediately.
NOTICE
■ To prevent the DPF system from failing 
● Do not drive for long periods of time while the DPF system warning mes- 
sage “DPF FULL VISIT YOUR DEALER”/“DPF full Visit your dealer” 
appears on the display 
● Do not use fuel other than the specified type 
● Do not use engine oil other than the recommended type 
● Do not modify the exhaust pipe

Maintenance and care
HILUX_OM_OM0K322E_(EE)
NOTICE
■Cleaning detergents 
● Do not use the following types of detergent, as they may discolor the vehi- 
cle interior or cause streaks or damage to painted surfaces: 
• Non-seat portions: Organic substances such as benzene or gasoline, 
alkaline or acidic solutions, dye, and bleach
• Seats: Alkaline or acidic solutions, such as thinner, benzene, and alco- 
hol 
● Do not use polish wax or polish cleaner. The instrument panel’s or other 
interior part’s painted surface may be damaged. 
■ Preventing damage to leather surfaces 
Observe the following precautions to avoid damage to and deterioration of 
leather surfaces: 
● Remove any dust or dirt from leather surfaces immediately. 
● Do not expose the vehicle to direct sunlight for extended periods of time. 
Park the vehicle in the shade, especially during summer. 
● Do not place items made of vinyl, plastic, or containing wax on the uphol- 
stery, as they may stick to the leather surface if the vehicle interior heats
up significantly. 
■ Water on the floor 
Do not wash the vehicle floor with water. 
Vehicle systems such as the audio system may be damaged if water comes 
into contact with electrical components such as the audio system above or
under the floor of the vehicle. Water may also cause the body to rust. 
■ When cleaning the inside of the windshield (vehicles with Toyota 
Safety Sense) 
Do not allow glass cleaner to contact the lens. Also, do not touch the lens. 
( P.  3 1 1 ) 
■ Cleaning the inside of the rear window (vehicles with rear window 
defogger) 
● Do not use glass cleaner to clean the rear window, as this may cause 
damage to the rear window defogger heater wires. Use a cloth dampened 
with lukewarm water to gently wipe the window clean. Wipe the window in 
strokes running parallel to the heater wires. 
● Be careful not to scratch or damage the heater wires. 

5587-3. Do-it-yourself maintenance
HILUX_OM_OM0K322E_(EE)
WARNING
■Chemicals in the battery 
Batteries contain poisonous and corrosive sulfuric acid and may produce 
hydrogen gas which is flammable and explosive. To reduce the risk of death 
or serious injury, take the following precautions while working on or near the 
battery: 
● Do not cause sparks by touching the battery terminals with tools. 
● Do not smoke or light a match near the battery. 
● Avoid contact with eyes, skin and clothes. 
● Never inhale or swallow electrolyte. 
● Wear protective safety glasses when working near the battery. 
● Keep children away from the battery. 
■ Where to safely charge the battery 
Always charge the battery in an open area. Do not charge the battery in a 
garage or closed room w here there is insufficient ventilation. 
■ How to recharge the battery (vehicles with maintenance-free type bat- 
tery) 
Only perform a slow charge (5 A or less). The battery may explode if 
charged at a quicker rate. 
■ Emergency measures regarding electrolyte 
● If electrolyte gets in your eyes 
Flush your eyes with clean water for at least 15 minutes and get immedi-
ate medical attention. If possible, continue to apply water with a sponge or 
cloth while traveling to the nearest medical facility. 
● If electrolyte gets on your skin 
Wash the affected area thoroughly. If you feel pain or burning, get medical 
attention immediately. 
● If electrolyte gets on your clothes 
It can soak through clothing on to your skin. Immediately take off the cloth- 
ing and follow the procedure above if necessary. 
● If you accidentally swallow electrolyte 
Drink a large quantity of water or milk. Get emergency medical attention 
immediately. 
● When there is insufficient battery fluid  
Do not use if there is insufficient fluid in the battery. There is a possible 
danger that the battery may explode. 
■ When disconnecting the battery 
Do not disconnect the negative (-) terminal on the body. The disconnected 
negative (-) terminal may touch the positive (+) terminal, which may cause a
short and result in death or serious injury.
