• Engine idling.
• Use of engine oil grades catego-
rised as unsuitable.
Different vehicle messages are
shown on the Control Display,
depending on the engine oil level.
Electronic oil measurement has two
measurement principles:
• Monitoring.
• Detailed measurement.
When frequently making short trips
or using a dynamic driving style, for
example taking corners at high
speed, regularly perform a detailed
measurement.
■Principle
The engine oil level is electronically
monitored during the journey and
can be shown on the Control Dis-
play.
If the engine oil level is outside its
permissible operating range, a
vehicle message is shown.
■Operating requirements
A current measurement is available
after approximately 30 minutes of
normal driving.
■Displaying the engine oil level
Via Toyota Supra Command:
1"My Vehicle"
2"Vehicle status"
3"Engine oil level"
The engine oil level is displayed.
■System limits
When frequently making short trips
or using a dynamic driving style, it
may not be possible to calculate a
measurement. In this case, the
measurement for the last, suffi-
ciently long journey is displayed.
■Principle
The engine oil level is checked
when the vehicle is stationary and
is shown on a scale.
If the engine oil level is outside its
permissible operating range, a Safety notes
NOTICE
Too little engine oil causes engine
damage. There is a danger of dam-
age to property. Top up with engine oil
immediately.
NOTICE
Too much engine oil can damage the
engine or the catalytic converter.
There is a danger of damage to prop-
erty. Do not top up with too much
engine oil. If there is too much engine
oil, have the engine oil level corrected
by any authorized Toyota retailer or
Toyota authorized repairer, or any reli-
able repairer.

The reservoir for the washer fluid is
located in the engine compartment.Using undiluted screenwash con-
centrate or antifreeze made of alco-
hol may result in false indications at
low temperatures below

with hot parts of the engine and catch
fire. There is a danger of injury or
damage to property. Only top up
washer fluid when the engine has
cooled down. Then fully close the cap
of the washer fluid reservoir.

This chapter describes all standard,
country-specific and special equip-
ment available for the model series.
It may therefore describe equip-
ment and functions which are not
installed in your vehicle, for exam-
ple on account of the optional
equipment selected or the country
specification. This also applies to
safety-relevant functions and sys-
tems. Please comply with the rele-
vant laws and regulations when
using the corresponding functions
and systems.
The maintenance system indicates
what maintenance measures are
required and thereby assists in
maintaining the road safety and
operational safety of the vehicle.
The exact work required and the
maintenance intervals may vary
depending on the country specifica-
tions. Replacement work, spare
parts, operating materials and wear
materials are calculated sepa-
rately. Additional information is
available from a Service Partner of
the manufacturer or another quali-
fied Service Partner or a specialist
workshop.Sensors and special algorithms
monitor the conditions in which the
vehicle is used. CBS uses this
information to determine the main-
tenance requirement.
The system thus enables the scope
of the maintenance work to be
adapted to the individual usage
profile.
Information on service require-
ments, see page 159, can be
shown on the Control Display.
Periods when the vehicle is out of
use with its battery disconnected
are not taken into account.
In such cases, have any
time-dependent maintenance pro-
cedures, for example for the brake
fluid and, where applicable, the
engine oil and microfilter/activated
charcoal filter, updated by a Service
Partner of the manufacturer or
another qualified Service Partner or
a specialist workshop.
