When trouble arises
■After changing the engine oil (diesel engine)
Make sure to reset the oil maintenance data. ( P. 459)
■ If the message “DPF FULL SEE OWNER’S MANUAL”/“DPF full. See
owner’s manual.” appears on the display (diesel engine)
The deposit collected in the filter needs to be regenerated.
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).
The warning message will disappear w hen regeneration is complete. 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.
*: When driving, pay sufficient attention to weather, road conditions, terrain
and traffic conditions, and drive according to traffic laws.
■ The LDA (Lane Departure Alert) system (if equipped)
In the following cases, the warning message will not be displayed even if the
vehicle deviates from the lane markers.
● When the vehicle speed deviates from the operating range of the LDA sys-
tem functions
● When the lane markers cannot be recognized
NOTICE
■Engine oil maintenance message (diesel engine)
The warning message is based on the projected driving range after engine
oil maintenance message is reset.
The system does not monitor the purity of the engine oil.

■Engine oil selection (Except for New Zealand)
“Toyota Genuine Motor Oil” is used in your Toyota vehicle. Toyota
recommends the use of approved “Toyota Genuine Motor Oil”.
Another motor oil of matching quality can also be used.
Oil grade:
0W-20, 5W-30 and 10W-30:
API grade SL “Energy-Conserving”, SM “Energy-Conserving” or SN
“Resource-Conserving”; or ILSAC multigrade engine oil
15W-40:
API grade SL, SM or SN multigrade engine oil
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.

How to read oil container labels:
Either or both API registered marks are added to some oil contain-
ers to help you select the oil you should use.
API Service Symbol
Top portion: “API SERVICE SN”
means the oil quality designa-
tion by American Petroleum Ins-
titute (API).
Center portion: “SAE 0W-20”
means the SAE viscosity grade.
Lower portion: “Resource-Con-
serving” means that the oil has
fuel-saving and environmental
protection capabilities.
ILSAC Certification Mark
The International Lubricant Specification Advisory Committee (ILSAC)
Certification Mark is displayed on the front of the container.

■Engine oil selection (For New Zealand)
“Toyota Genuine Motor Oil” is used in your Toyota vehicle. Use
Toyota approved “Toyota Genuine Motor Oil” or equivalent to satisfy
the following grade and viscosity.
Oil grade:
0W-20, 5W-20, 5W-30 and 10W-30:
API grade SL “Energy-Conserving”, SM “Energy-Conserving” or SN
“Resource-Conserving”; or ILSAC multigrade engine oil
15W-40:
API grade SL, SM or SN multigrade engine oil
Recommended viscosity (SAE):
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, 5W-20
or 5W-30 engine oil is recom-
mended.
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.
