Trip distance recorder
This recorder measures the distance travelled since it was last reset by the driver.Resetting the trip recorder
► With the ignition on, press the button until zeros appear.
Engine coolant temperature
With the engine running, when the needle or bar graph (depending on version) is:– in zone A, the engine coolant temperature is correct,
– in zone B, the engine coolant temperature is too high; the maximum temperature and central STOP warning lamps come on, accompanied by an audible signal and a warning message.You MUST stop as soon as it is safe to do so.Wait a few minutes before switching off the engine.Contact a TOYOTA dealer or a qualified workshop.
Checking
After driving for a few minutes, the temperature and pressure in the cooling system increase.To top up the level:► wait at least one hour for the engine to cool,► unscrew the cap by two turns to allow the pressure to drop,► when the pressure has dropped, remove the cap,► top up the level to the "MAX" mark.For more information on Checking levels, refer to the corresponding section.
WARNI NG
Be aware of the risk of scalding when topping up the coolant. Do not fill above the maximum level (indicated on the reservoir).
Engine oil level indicator
On versions fitted with an electric oil gauge, the state of the engine oil level is displayed on the
instrument panel for a few seconds when the ignition is switched on, at the same time as the servicing information.
NOTIC E
The level read will only be correct if the vehicle is on level ground and the engine has been off for more than 30 minutes.
Oil level correct
This is indicated by a message on the instrument panel.
Low oil level
This is indicated by a message on the instrument panel.If the low oil level is confirmed by a check using the dipstick, the level must be topped up to avoid
damaging the engine.

WARNI NG
The Diesel fuel system operates under very high pressure.All work on this circuit must be carried out only by a TOYOTA dealer or a qualified workshop.
Checking levels
Check all of the following levels regularly in accordance with the manufacturer's service schedule. Top them up if required, unless otherwise indicated.If a level drops significantly, have the corresponding system checked by a TOYOTA dealer or a qualified workshop.
WARNI NG
The fluids must comply with the manufacturer's requirements and with the vehicle's engine.
WARNI NG
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).
Used products
WARNI NG
Avoid prolonged contact of used oil or fluids with the skin.Most of these fluids are harmful to health and very corrosive.
ECO
Do not discard used oil or fluids into sewers or onto the ground.Empty used oil into the containers reserved for this purpose at a TOYOTA dealer or a qualified workshop.
Engine oil
The level is checked, with the engine having been switched off for at least 30
minutes and on level ground, either using the oil level indicator in the instrument panel when the ignition is switched on (for vehicles equipped with an electric gauge), or using the dipstick.
It is normal to top up the oil level between two services (or oil changes). It is recommended that you check the level, and top up if necessary, every 5,000 km (3,000 miles).
WARNI NG
In order to maintain the reliability of the engine and emissions control system, never use additives in the engine oil.
Checking using the dipstick
For the location of the dipstick, please refer to the illustration of the corresponding engine compartment.► Grasp the dipstick by its coloured grip and pull it out completely.► Wipe the end of the dipstick using a clean, lint-free cloth.
► Reinsert the dipstick and push fully down, then pull it out again to visually check the oil level: the correct level is between marks A (max) and B (min).Do not start the engine if the level is:– above mark A: contact a TOYOTA dealer or a qualified workshop.
154
– below mark B: top up the engine oil immediately.
WARNI NG
Oil gradeBefore topping up or changing the engine oil, check that the oil is suitable for the engine and complies with the recommendations in the service schedule supplied with the vehicle
(or available from your TOYOTA dealer and qualified workshops).Use of non-recommended oil may invalidate the contractual warranty in the event of engine failure.
Topping up the engine oil level
The location of the oil filler cap is shown in the corresponding underbonnet layout view.► Add oil in small quantities, avoiding any spills on engine components (risk of fire).► Wait a few minutes before checking the level again using the dipstick.► Add more oil if necessary.► After checking the level, carefully refit the oil filler cap and the dipstick in its tube.
NOTIC E
During the 30 minutes after topping up the oil, the check performed with the oil level indicator in the instrument panel when the ignition is switched on is not valid.
Brake fluid
The level of this fluid should be close to the "MAX" mark. If not, check the brake pad wear.To know how often the brake fluid should be replaced, refer to the manufacturer's servicing schedule.
WARNI NG
If topping up, clean the cap before replacing it. Use only DOT4 brake fluid from a sealed canister.
Engine coolant
Check the engine coolant level regularly.It is normal to top up this fluid between two services.The check and top-up must only be done with the engine cold.A low level presents a risk of serious damage to the engine.The level of this fluid should be close to the "MAX" mark but should never exceed it.If the level is close to or below the "MIN” mark, it is essential to top up.When the engine is hot, the temperature of this fluid is regulated by the fan.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 the risk of scalding if you need to top up in an emergency, wrap a cloth around the cap and unscrew the cap by two turns to allow the pressure to drop.Once the pressure has dropped, remove the cap and top up to the required level.
Screenwash fluid
Top up to the required level when necessary.Capacity of the tank:– 5.3 litres for "very cold climate" versions.– 2.2 litres for other versions.
Fluid specification
The fluid must be topped up with a ready-to-use mixture.In winter (temperatures below zero), a liquid containing an agent to prevent freezing must be used which is appropriate for the prevailing conditions, in order to protect the elements of the system (pump, tank, ducts, jets, etc.).
WARNI NG
Filling with pure water is prohibited under all circumstances (risk of freezing, limestone deposits, etc.).

In the event of a breakdown

► Drive immediately for approximately 3 miles (5 kilometres) at reduced speed (between 20 and 60 km/h (12 and 37 mph)) to plug the puncture.► Stop to check the repair and the tyre pressure using the kit.
WARNI NG
With a tyre repaired using this type of kit, do not exceed a speed of 80 km/h (50 mph) and do not drive more than 200 km (125 miles).Contact a TOYOTA dealer or a qualified workshop to have the tyre changed.
Checking / adjusting tyre
pressures
The compressor can be used, without injecting sealant, to check and, if necessary, adjust the tyre pressures.► Remove the valve cap from the tyre and keep it in a clean place.► Uncoil the pipe stowed under the compressor.
► Screw the pipe onto the valve and tighten firmly.► Check that the compressor switch is in position "O".► Fully uncoil the electric cable stowed under the compressor.► Connect the compressor's electric plug to the vehicle's 12 V socket.► Switch on the ignition.
WARNI NG
Only the 12 V socket located at the front of the vehicle can be used to power the compressor.
NOTIC E
The tyre inflation pressures are given on this label.
► Start the compressor by placing the switch at position "I" and adjust the pressure to the value shown on the vehicle's tyre pressure label. To deflate: press the black button located on the compressor pipe, near the valve connection.
WARNI NG
If after 7 minutes the pressure of 2 bars is not reached, this indicates that the tyre is damaged; contact a TOYOTA dealer or a qualified workshop for assistance.
► Once the correct pressure is reached, put the switch in position "O".► Remove the kit and stow it.
WARNI NG
Should the pressure of one or more tyres be adjusted, it is necessary to reinitialise the under-inflation detection system.For more information on Tyre under-inflation detection, refer to the corresponding section.
