Limit the causes of excess
consumption
Spread loads throughout the vehicle; place the heaviest items in the bottom of the boot, as close as possible to the rear seats.Limit the loads carried in the vehicle and reduce wind resistance (roof bars, roof rack, bicycle carrier, trailer...). Use a roof box in preference.Remove roof bars and roof racks after use.
At the end of winter, remove snow tyres and refit your summer tyres.
Observe the recommendations
on maintenance
Check the tyre pressures regularly, when cold, referring to the label in the door aperture, driver's side.Carry out this check in particular:- before a long journey,- at each change of season,
- after a long period out of use.Don't forget the spare wheel and the tyres on any trailer or caravan.
Have your vehicle ser viced regularly (engine oil, oil filter, air filter, passenger compartment filter...) and obser ve the schedule of operations recommended in the manufacturer's service schedule.
With a Diesel engine, if the SCR system is faulty your vehicle becomes polluting; go to an authorized Toyota dealer or repairer, or another duly qualified and equipped professional without delay to have the emissions of nitrogen oxides brought back to the legal level.
When refuelling, do not continue after the third cut-off of the nozzle to avoid any over flow.
At the wheel of your new vehicle, it is only after the first 1 800 miles (3 000 kilometres) that you will see the fuel consumption settle down to a consistent average.

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 ser vice schedule for details of the replacement inter vals 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 ser vice schedule for details of the replacement inter val 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.
