The Toyota Safety Sense consists of the following drive assist 
systems and contributes to a safe and comfortable driving expe- 
rience:
WARNING
■ Toyota Safety Sense 
The Toyota Safety Sense is designed to operate under the assumption that 
the driver will drive safely, and is designed to help reduce the impact to the 
occupants and the vehicle in the case of a collision or assist the driver in
normal driving conditions. 
As there is a limit to the degree of recognition accuracy and control perfor- 
mance that this system can provide, do not overly rely on this system. The
driver is always responsible for paying attention to the vehicle’s surround- 
ings and driving safely. 

6228-2. Steps to take in an emergency
HILUX_OM_OM0K322E_(EE) 
■ If “DPF FULL SEE OWNER’S MANUAL”/“DPF full See owner’s manual” 
or “DPF FULL MANUAL REGENERATION REQUIRED SEE OWNER’S 
MANUAL”/“DPF full Manual regeneration required See owner’s manual” 
is shown on the multi-information display 
The deposit collected in the filter needs to be regenerated. 
Vehicles without DPF system switch:
To regenerate the filter, the following driving methods are recommended*. 
● By driving continuously (for example, at around 65 km/h [40 mph] for 20 to 
30 minutes). 
● By avoiding short trips, or by driving continuously (leaving the engine run- 
ning for long periods of time). 
When the outside temperature is approximately -15 C (5F) or lower, check 
the engine is warmed up before driving the vehicle to regenerate the filter. If 
the engine is cold, warm up the engine by driving the vehicle downshifting to 
increase the engine speed. Depending on the situation, it may be necessary
to depress the accelerator pedal until the engine speed is increased to 3000 
rpm. 
The warning message will disappear when regeneration is completed. How- 
ever, if this driving cannot be carried out, or if the message does not disap- 
pear even after driving, have the vehicle inspected by any authorized Toyota 
retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or any reliable repairer immediately. 
For details of the DPF system, refer to P. 398.
*: When driving, pay sufficient attention to weather, road conditions, terrain 
and traffic conditions, and drive according to traffic laws. 
Vehicles with DPF system switch:  
 P. 399 
■ If “FRONT CAMERA UNAVAILABLE”/“Front Camera Unavailable” or 
“FRONT CAMERA VISION BLOCKED CLEAN AND DEMIST WIND-
SHIELD”/“Front Camera Vision Blocked Clean and Demist Windshield” 
is shown on the multi-information display 
The following systems may be suspended until the problem shown in the 
message is resolved. ( P. 333, 610) 
● PCS (Pre-Collision System) 
● LDA (Lane Departure Alert) 
● RSA (Road Sign Assist) 
■ If “Check RSA system” is shown on the multi-information display 
The RSA system is malfunctioning. 
Have the vehicle inspected by any authorized Toyota retailer or Toyota autho- 
rized repairer, or any reliable repairer immediately.
