Turbo Engine Vehicle
Handling Precautions
The turbocharger is a high-precision device to obtain greater horsepower by 
delivering a large volume of compressed air  into the engine using a turbine driven by 
the engine’s exhaust gas pressure.
• When the engine is cold just after sta rting, avoid revving the engine or sudden 
acceleration.
• Always replace the engine oil and engine oil filter according to the Maintenance 
Minder. The turbine rotates at very  high speeds over 100,000 rpm and its 
temperature reaches over 1,292°F (700°C). It is lubricat ed and cooled by engine 
oil. If you fail to replace the engine oil and filter at the scheduled distance or 
interval, deteriorated engine oil may caus e failure such as sticking and abnormal 
noise of the turbine bearing.1 Turbo Engine Vehicle
The scheduled maintenance  intervals for replacing 
the filter is indicated on the driver information 
interface. Follow the information of when to replace 
them. 2 Maintenance Minder
TM P. 607
The temperature gauge pointer is at the   mark 
when you restart the engi ne after driving under high 
load conditions such as at high speed or in hilly 
terrain. This is normal.  The gauge goes down after 
you idle or drive the vehi cle for about one minute.

*1: If a Maintenance Minder message does not appear more than 12 months after the display is reset, 
change the engine oil every year.
# : See information on maintenance and emissions warranty in the first column on page  709.
*2: If you drive in dusty conditions, replace the air cleaner element every 15,000 miles (24,000 km).
*3: If you drive primarily in urban areas that have high concentrations of soot in the air from industry and  from diesel-powered vehicles, replace the dust and pollen filter every 15,000 miles (24,000 km).

●Replace engine oil*1
B●Replace engine oil*1 and oil filter●Inspect front and rear brakes●Inspect tie rod ends, steering gearbox, and boots●Inspect suspension components●Inspect driveshaft boots●Inspect brake hoses and li nes (Including ABS/VSA®)●Inspect all fluid levels and condition of fluids●Inspect exhaust system#
●Inspect fuel lines and connections#
*4:  
Driving in mountainous areas at very low vehicle speeds results in higher transmission temperatures. 
This requires transmission fluid changes more frequently than recommended by the Maintenance 
Minder. If you regularly drive your vehicle under these conditions, have the transmission fluid changed 
every 25,000 miles (40,000 km).
*5: If a Maintenance Minder message does not appear more than 36 months after the display for item 7 is  reset, change the brake fluid every 3 years.

Maintenance
Climate Control System Maintenance
Air Conditioning
To ensure proper and safe operation, th e Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE 
J2845) recommends that the refrigerant  system only be serviced by trained and 
certified technicians.
Never repair or replace the air conditioni ng evaporator (cooling coil) with one 
removed from a used or salvaged vehicle.
New replacement mobile air conditioning  evaporators must be certified (and 
labeled) as meeting SAE Standard J2842.
Dust and Pollen Filter
The climate control system is equipped wi th a dust and pollen filter that collects 
pollen, dust, and other debris in the air. The Maintenance MinderTM messages will let 
you know when to replace the filter.
We recommend that you replace the dust and pollen filter sooner when using your 
vehicle in areas with high  concentrations of dust.
1Air Conditioning
NOTICE
Vented refrigerant is harmful to the environment.
To avoid refrigerant from  venting, never replace the 
evaporator with one re moved from a used or 
salvaged vehicle.
Refrigerant in your  vehicle’s air conditioning system is 
flammable and can be igni ted during servicing if 
proper procedures  are not followed.
The air conditioner labe l is found under the hood:
