WARNING
■To avoid malfunction of the front sensor
Observe the following precautions.
Otherwise, the front sensor may not operate properly, possibly leading to an
accident resulting in death or serious injury.
● Keep the windshield clean at all times. If the windshield is dirty or covered
with an oily film, water droplets, snow, etc., clear the windshield. If the
inner side of the windshield in front of the front sensor is dirty, contact any
authorized Toyota dealer or repairer, or another duly qualified and
equipped professional.
B: Approximately 20 cm (7.9 in.) (Approximately 10 cm (4.0 in.) to the
right and left from the center of the front sensor)
● If there is a large difference in temperature between the inside and outside
of the vehicle, such as in winter, the windshield is likely to fog up easily. If
the part of the windshield in front of the front sensor is fogged up or cov-
ered with condensation or ice, the PCS warning light may illuminate and
the system may be temporarily disabled. In this case, use the windshield
defogger to remove the fog, etc. ( P. 384)
● If the area of the windshield in front of the front sensor is covered with
water droplets, use the windshield wipers to remove them.
If the water droplets are not sufficiently removed, the performance of the
front sensor may be reduced.
● Do not attach objects, such as stickers,
transparent stickers, etc., and so forth,
to the outer side of the windshield in
front of the front sensor (shaded area in
the illustration).
A: From the top of the windshield to
approximately 10 cm (4.0 in.) below the
bottom of the front sensor
● Do not install or attach anything to the
inner side of the windshield under the
front sensor (shaded area in the illustra-
tion).
A: Approximately 10 cm (4.0 in.) (Start-
ing from the bottom of the front sensor)
B: Approximately 20 cm (7.9 in.)
(Approximately 10 cm (4.0 in.) to the
right and left from the center of the front
sensor)

Maintenance and care
WARNING
The engine compartment contains many mechanisms and fluids that may
move suddenly, become hot, or become electrically energized. To avoid death
or serious injury, observe the following precautions.
■ When working on the engine compartment
● Make sure that the “Power ON.” on the multi-information display and the
“READY” indicator are both off.
● Keep hands, clothing and tools away from the moving fan and engine
drive belt.
● Be careful not to touch the engine, power control unit, radiator, exhaust
manifold, etc. right after driving as they may be hot. Oil and other fluids
may also be hot.
● Do not leave anything that may burn easily, such as paper and rags, in the
engine compartment.
● Do not smoke, cause sparks or expose an open flame to fuel. Fuel fumes
are flammable.
● Take care because brake fluid can harm your hands or eyes and damage
painted surfaces. If fluid gets on your hands or in your eyes, flush the
affected area with clean water immediately.
If you still experience discomfort, consult a doctor.
■ When working near the electric cooling fans or radiator grille
Be sure the power switch is off.
With the power switch in ON mode, the electric cooling fans may automati-
cally start to run if the air conditioning is on and/or the coolant temperature
is high. ( P. 432)
■ Safety glasses
Wear safety glasses to prevent flying or falling material, fluid spray, etc.
from getting in your eyes.
NOTICE
■ If you remove the air cleaner filter
Driving with the air cleaner filter removed may cause excessive engine wear
due to dirt in the air.
■ If the fluid level is low or high
It is normal for the brake fluid level to go down slightly as the brake pads
wear or when the fluid level in the accumulator is high.
If the reservoir needs frequent refilling, it may indicate a serious problem.

With the engine at operating temperature and turned off, check the oil
level on the dipstick.
■Checking the engine oil
Park the vehicle on level ground. After warming up the engine
and turning off the hybrid system , wait more than 5 minutes for
the oil to drain back into the bottom of the engine.
Holding a rag under the end,
pull the dipstick out.
Wipe the dipstick clean.
Reinsert the dipstick fully.
Holding a rag under the end,
pull the dipstick out and
check the oil level.

5569-1. Specifications
UK AURIS_HV_HB_EE (OM12M49E)
Recommended viscosity (SAE):
SAE 0W-20 is filled into your
Toyota vehicle at manufactur-
ing, and the best choice for
good fuel economy and good
starting in cold weather.
If SAE 0W-20 oil is not avail-
able, SAE 5W-30 oil may be
used. However, it should be
replaced with SAE 0W-20 at the
next oil change.
If you use SAE 10W-30 or a
higher viscosity engine oil in
extremely low temperatures,
the engine may become difficult
to start, so SAE 0W-20 or 5W-
30 engine oil is recommended.
Oil viscosity (0W-20 is explained here as an example):
• The 0W in 0W-20 indicates the characteristic of the oil which
allows cold startability. Oils with a lower value before the W allow
for easier starting of the engine in cold weather.
• The 20 in 0W-20 indicates the viscosity characteristic of the oil
when the oil is at high temperature. An oil with a higher viscosity
(one with a higher value) may be better suited if the vehicle is
operated at high speeds, or under extreme load conditions.
