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.

Checking levels
Take care when working under the bonnet, as certain areas of the engine may be extremely hot (risk of burns) and the cooling fan could start at any time (even with the ignition off).
Engine oil level
The check is carried out either when the ignition is switched on using the oil level indicator in the instrument panel for vehicles so equipped, or using the dipstick.
Checking using the dipstick
The location of the dipstick is shown in the corresponding underbonnet layout view.F Take the dipstick by its coloured grip and remove it completely.F Wipe the end of the dipstick using a clean non-fluffy cloth.F Refit the dipstick and push fully down, then pull it out again to make the visual check: the correct level is between the marks A and B.
Check all of these levels regularly, in line with the manufacturer's service schedule. Top them up if necessary, unless other wise indicated.If a level drops significantly, have the corresponding system checked by an authorized Toyota dealer or repairer, or another duly qualified and equipped professional.
A = MA X
To ensure that the reading is correct, your vehicle must be parked on a level sur face with the engine having been off for more than 30 minutes.
It is normal to top-up the oil level between two services (or oil changes). Toyota recommends that you check the level, and top-up if necessary, every 3 000 miles (5 000 kms).
B = MIN
If you find that the level is above the A mark or below the B mark, do not star t the engine.- If the level is above the MAX mark (risk of damage to the engine), contact an authorized Toyota dealer or repairer, or another duly qualified and equipped professional.- If the level is below the MIN mark, you must top-up the engine oil.

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.

Changing the coolant
The coolant does not have to be replaced at routine services.
Fluid specification
The coolant must conform to the manufacturer's recommendations.
The check and top-up must be done with the engine cold.A low coolant level presents the risk of serious damage to your engine.
If the ambient temperature is high, it
is recommended that the engine be allowed to idle for 1 to 2 minutes after the vehicle comes to a stop, to facilitate its cooling.
Avoid prolonged contact of used oil or fluids with the skin.Most of these fluids are harmful to health or indeed very corrosive.
Do not discard used oil or fluids into sewers or onto the ground.Take used oil to an authorized Toyota dealer or repairer, or another duly qualified and equipped professional (France) or to an authorised waste disposal site.

Checks
12 V battery
The battery does not require any maintenance.However, check regularly that the terminals are correctly tightened (versions without quick release terminals) and that the connections are clean.
Refer to the manufacturer's service schedule for details of the replacement intervals for these components.
Air filter and passenger compartment filter
Replace the oil filter each time the engine oil is changed.Refer to the manufacturer's service schedule for details of the replacement interval for this component.
Oil filter
Particle filter (Diesel)
The start of saturation of the particle filter is indicated by the temporary illumination of this warning lamp accompanied by a message in the multifunction screen.
As soon as the traffic conditions permit, regenerate the filter by driving at a speed of at least 40 mph (60 km/h) until the warning lamp goes off.If the warning lamp stays on, this indicates a low additive level.For more information on Checking levels, refer to the corresponding section.
On a new vehicle, the first particle filter regeneration operations may be accompanied by a "burning" smell, which is per fectly normal.Following prolonged operation of the
vehicle at very low speed or at idle, you may, in exceptional circumstances, notice the emission of water vapour at the exhaust on acceleration. This does not affect the behaviour of the vehicle or the environment.
Unless other wise indicated, check these components in accordance with the manufacturer's service schedule and according to your engine.Other wise, have them checked by an authorized Toyota dealer or repairer, or another duly qualified and equipped professional.
For more information and the precautions to take before starting work on the 12 V batter y, refer to the corresponding section.
Depending on the environment (e.g. dusty atmosphere) and the use of the vehicle (e.g. city driving), replace them twice as often if necessary.A clogged passenger compartment filter may have an adverse effect on the per formance of the air conditioning system and generate undesirable odours.
Versions equipped with Stop & Start are fitted with a 12 V lead-acid battery of specific technology and specification.Its replacement should be carried out only by an authorized Toyota dealer or repairer, or another duly qualified and equipped professional.
