Fuel used for Diesel
engines
The Diesel engines are compatible with biofuels available at the pumps which meet current and future European standards:- Diesel fuel that meets standard EN 590 mixed with a biofuel that meets standard EN 14214,- Diesel fuel that meets standard EN16734 mixed with a biofuel that meets standard EN14214 (possibly containing up to 10 % Fatty Acid Methyl Ester),- Paraffinic Diesel fuel that meets standard EN15940 mixed with a biofuel that meets standard EN14214 (possibly containing up to 7 % Fatty Acid Methyl Ester).
The use of B20 or B30 fuel meeting standard EN16709 is possible in your Diesel engines. However, this use, even occasional, requires strict application of the special servicing conditions referred to as "Arduous conditions". For more information, contact an authorized Toyota dealer or repairer, or another duly qualified and equipped professional.The use of any other type of (bio)fuel (vegetable or animal oils, pure or diluted, domestic fuel...) is strictly prohibited (risk of damage to the engine and fuel system).Only the use of Diesel fuel additives that meet the standard B715000 is authorised.
It is still possible to use a fuel can to fill the tank but this must be done slowly.In order to ensure a good flow of fuel, do not place the nozzle of the fuel can in direct contact with the flap of the misfuel prevention device.
Travelling abroad
As Diesel fuel pump nozzles may be different in other countries, the presence of the misfuel prevention device may make refuelling impossible.Before travelling abroad, we recommend that
you check with the Toyota dealer network, whether your vehicle is suitable for the fuel pumps in the country in which you want to travel.

Oil grade
Before topping-up the oil or changing the oil, check that the oil is the correct grade for your engine and conforms to the manufacturer's recommendations.
Topping-up the engine oil level
The location of the oil filler cap is shown in the corresponding underbonnet layout view.F Unscrew the oil filler cap to reveal the filler aperture.F Add oil in small quantities, avoiding any spills on engine components (risk of fire).F Wait a few minutes before checking the level again using the dipstick.F Add more oil if necessary.F After checking the level, carefully refit the oil filler cap and the dipstick in its tube.
After topping-up the oil, the check when switching on the ignition with the oil level indicator in the instrument panel is not valid during the 30 minutes after topping up.
Engine oil change
Refer to the manufacturer's service schedule for details of the interval for this operation.In order to maintain the reliability of the engine and emission control system, never use additives in the engine oil.
The brake fluid level should be close to the "MA X" mark. If it is not, check the brake pad wear.
Brake fluid level
Changing the fluid
Refer to the manufacturer's service schedule for details of the interval for this operation.
Fluid specification
The brake fluid must conform to the manufacturer's recommendations.
Coolant level
The coolant level should be close to the "MA X" mark but should never exceed it.
In addition, as the cooling system is pressurised, wait at least one hour after switching off the engine before carrying out any work.To avoid any risk of scalding, unscrew the cap by two turns to allow the pressure to drop. When the pressure has dropped, remove the cap and top up the level.
The cooling fan may star t after switching
off the engine: take care with ar ticles and clothing that might be caught by the fan blades.
When the engine is warm, the temperature of the coolant is regulated by the fan.
Check the coolant level regularly, according to the use made of your vehicle (every 3 000 miles or 5 000 kms / 3 months); if necessary, top-up using coolant recommended by the manufacturer.Topping-up the coolant between services is normal.
Power steering fluid level
The power steering fluid level should be close to the "MA X" mark. With the engine cold, unscrew the cap to check the level.
