WARNING
QTRC/A-TRC/VSC may not operate effectively when
Directional control and power may not be achievable while driving on slip-
pery road surfaces, even if the TRC/A-TRC/VSC system is operating.
Drive the vehicle carefully in conditions where stability and power may be
lost.
Q Hill-start assist control does not operate effectively when
O Do not overly rely on the hill-start assist control. The hill-start assist control
may not operate effectively on steep inclines and roads covered with ice.
O Unlike the parking brake, the hill-start assist control is not intended to hold
the vehicle stationary for an extended period of time. Do not attempt to use
the hill-start assist control to hold the vehicle on an incline, as doing so
may lead to an accident.
Q When the TRC/VSC/Trailer Sway Control is activated
The slip indicator flashes. Always drive carefully.
Reckless driving may cause an accident. Exercise particular care when the
indicator flashes.
Q When the TRC/A-TRC/VSC/Trailer Sway Control systems are turned off
Be especially careful and drive at a speed appropriate to the road condi-
tions. As these are the systems to help ensure vehicle stability and driving
force, do not turn the TRC/A-TRC/VSC/Trailer Sway Control systems off
unless necessary.
Q Replacing tires
Make sure that all tires are of the specified size, brand, tread pattern and
total load capacity. In addition, make sure that the tires are inflated to the
recommended tire inflation pressure level.
The ABS, TRC, A-TRC, VSC, Trailer Sway Control, hill-start assist control
and downhill assist control systems will not function correctly if different tires
are installed on the vehicle.
Contact any authorized Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or any
reliable repairer for further information when replacing tires or wheels.
Q Handling of tires and the suspension
Using tires with any kind of problem or modifying the suspension will affect
the driving assist systems, and may cause a system to malfunction.

WARNING
QTrailer Sway Control precaution
The Trailer Sway Control system is not able to reduce trailer sway in all situ-
ations. Depending on many factors such as the conditions of the vehicle,
trailer, road surface, and driving envi ronment, the Trailer Sway Control sys-
tem may not be effective. Refer to your trailer owner’s manual for informa-
tion on how to tow your trailer properly.
Q If trailer sway occurs (vehicles with Trailer Sway Control)
Observe the following precautions.
Failing to do so may cause death or serious injury.
O Firmly grip the steering wheel. Steer straight ahead.
Do not try to control trailer sway by turning the steering wheel.
O Begin releasing the accelerator pedal immediately but very gradually to
reduce speed.
Do not increase speed. Do not apply vehicle brakes.
If you make no extreme correction with the steering or brakes, your vehicle
and trailer should stabilize. ( P. 215)

5007-3. Do-it-yourself maintenance
HILUX_OM_OM0K513E_(EE)
AdBlue™ is used to reduce the amount of nitrogen oxides in exhaust
gas. Make sure to observe the following precautions regarding
AdBlue™.
O AdBlue™ is consumed in the process of driving.
O When AdBlue™ is depleted, the engine cannot be restarted.
O When AdBlue™ needs to be refilled, have it refilled at any autho-
rized Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or any reliable
repairer.
It may be a criminal offence to use a vehicle that does not consume
any reagent if it is required for the reduction of emissions.
QPossible driving range
The amount of AdBlue™ that is consumed while driving differs
according to the driving conditions and driving environment. When
the amount of AdBlue™ that is consumed increases, the possible
driving range until it is necessary to refill AdBlue™ decreases.
*1: When the vehicle is used at high elevations and in low temperatures, the
amount of AdBlue™ that is consumed increases.
*2: During normal driving, 1.0 L (1.1 qt., 0.9 Imp.qt.) of AdBlue™ is con-
sumed approximately every 600 km (373 miles). Also, after a full refill, the
vehicle can be driven for approximately 10000 km (6214 miles) before all
AdBlue™ is depleted.
