Travelling abroadAs Diesel fuel pump nozzles may be different in other countries, the presence of the misfuel prevention device may make refuelling impossible.Before travelling abroad, it is advisable to check with a TOYOTA dealer if the vehicle is suitable for the distribution equipment of the countries visited.
Snow chains
In wintry conditions, snow chains improve traction as well as the behaviour of the vehicle
when braking.
WARNI NG
The snow chains must be fitted only to the front wheels. They must never be fitted to "space-saver" type spare wheels.
NOTIC E
Take account of the legislation specific to each country on the use of snow chains and the maximum authorised speed.
Installation tips
► If you have to fit the chains during a journey, stop the vehicle on a flat surface on the side of the road.► Apply the parking brake and position any wheel chocks under the wheels to prevent movement of your vehicle.► Fit the chains following the instructions provided by the manufacturer.► Move off gently and drive for a few moments, without exceeding 50 km/h (31 mph).► Stop your vehicle and check that the snow chains are correctly tightened.
NOTIC E
It is strongly recommended that before you leave, you practise fitting the snow chains on a level and dry surface.
WARNI NG
Avoid driving with snow chains on roads that have been cleared of snow to avoid damaging your vehicle's tyres and the road surface. If your vehicle is fitted with alloy wheels, check
that no part of the chain or its fixings is in contact with the wheel rim.
Use only the chains designed to be fitted to the type of wheel fitted to your vehicle:
Original tyre sizeMaximum link size (mm)
195/65 R159
205/60 R16
205/55 R17
215/65 R16
215/60 R17cannot be fitted with chains
You can also use snow socks.For more information, contact a TOYOTA dealer or a qualified workshop.

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.).
Diesel fuel additive (Diesel
with particle filter)
or On reaching the minimum level in the particle filter additive tank, this warning lamp comes on fixed, accompanied by an audible warning and a message warning that the additive level is too low.
Topping up
This additive must be topped up without delay by a TOYOTA dealer or a qualified workshop.
AdBlue (Diesel engines)
An alert is triggered when the reserve level is reached.For more information on the AdBlue range indicators, refer to the corresponding section.To avoid the vehicle being immobilised in accordance with regulations, you must top up the AdBlue tank.For more information on the Supply of AdBlue, refer to the corresponding section.
Checks
Unless otherwise indicated, check these components in accordance with the manufacturer's service schedule and according to your engine.Otherwise, have them checked by a TOYOTA dealer or a qualified workshop.

Precautions for use
AdBlue® is a urea-based solution. This fluid is non-flammable, colourless and odourless (when kept in a cool place).In the event of contact with the skin, wash the affected area with soap and running water. In the event of contact with the eyes, immediately rinse the eyes with large amounts of water or with an eye wash solution for at least 15 minutes. Seek medical attention if you feel a persistent burning sensation or irritation.If swallowed, immediately wash out the mouth with clean water and then drink plenty of water.In certain conditions (high temperature, for example), the risk of release of ammonia cannot be excluded: do not inhale the fluid. Ammonia vapours have an irritant effect on mucous membranes (eyes, nose and throat).
WARNI NG
Store AdBlue® out of the reach of children, in its original container.
Procedure
Before starting the top-up procedure, ensure that the vehicle is parked on a flat and level surface.In wintry conditions, ensure that the temperature of the vehicle is above -11 °C. Otherwise the AdBlue® may be frozen and so cannot be poured into its tank. Park the vehicle in a warmer area
for a few hours to allow the top-up to be carried out.
WARNI NG
Never put the AdBlue® into the Diesel fuel tank.
WARNI NG
If any AdBlue® is splashed, or if there are any spillages on the bodywork, rinse immediately with cold water or wipe with a damp cloth.If the fluid has crystallised, clean it off using a sponge and hot water.
WARNI NG
Important: in the event of a top-up after a breakdown because of a lack of AdBlue, it is essential to wait around 5 minutes before switching on the ignition, without opening the driver’s door, unlocking the vehicle, introducing the key into the ignition switch, or introducing the key of the “Keyless Entry and Starting ” system into the passenger compartment.Switch on the ignition, then wait for 10 seconds before starting the engine.
► Switch off the ignition and remove the key from the switch to switch off the engine.
or► With Keyless Entry and Starting, press the "START/STOP" button to switch off the engine.
► With the vehicle unlocked and the fuel filler flap open, turn the blue cap of the AdBlue® tank anti-clockwise and remove it.► With a container of AdBlue®: after checking the expiry date, read carefully the instructions on the label before pouring the contents of the container into the vehicle's AdBlue tank.► With an AdBlue® pump: introduce the nozzle and fill the tank until the automatic cut-off of the nozzle.
WARNI NG
In order not to overfill the AdBlue® tank:– Add between 10 and 13 litres using AdBlue® containers.– Stop after the nozzle’s first automatic cut-out, if you are refilling at a service station.

If the AdBlue® tank is completely empty – which is confirmed by the “Top up AdBlue:
