2021 TOYOTA HILUX automatic transmission fluid

2384-2. Driving procedures
HILUX_OM_OM0K513E_(EE)
Q Transmission protection function
If the tires spin continually when the vehicle becomes stuck in mud, dirt or
snow, or if the accelerator pedal is depressed and released repeatedly while
driving, the automatic transmission temperature may become too high and
the automatic transmission may be damaged.
To avoid damaging the automatic transmission, the system may temporarily
lock the gear.
If the automatic transmission temperature falls, the gear locking is canceled
and the automatic transmission is returned to the normal operation.
Q If the warning message is displayed
When the warning message goes out, the vehicle can be driven again.
If the warning message does not go out after waiting a while, have your vehi-
cle inspected by any authorized Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized repairer,
or any reliable repairer.
Q AI-SHIFT
The AI-SHIFT automatically selects the suitable gear according to driver per-
formance and driving conditions.
The AI-SHIFT automatically operates when the shift lever is in D. (Shifting the
shift lever to S cancels the function.)
If the automatic transmission fluid tem-
perature warning message is displayed
while driving, make sure to return to D
position driving and reduce speed by eas-
ing off the accelerator pedal. Stop the
vehicle in a safe place, shift the shift lever
to P and let the engine idle until the warn-
ing message goes out.
WARNING
Q When driving on slippery road surfaces
Do not accelerate or shift gears suddenly.
Sudden changes in engine braking may cause the vehicle to spin or skid,
resulting in an accident.
Q To prevent an accident when releasing the shift lock
Before pressing the shift lock override button, make sure to set the parking
brake and depress the brake pedal.
If the accelerator pedal is accidentally depressed instead of the brake pedal
when the shift lock override button is pressed and the shift lever is shifted
out of P, the vehicle may suddenly start, possibly leading to an accident
resulting in death or serious injury.

Q Operating conditions
O The Stop & Start system is operational when all of the following conditions
are met:
• The vehicle has been driven a certain amount of time.
• The brake pedal is being depressed firmly. (vehicles with automatic trans-
mission)
• The clutch pedal is not depressed. (vehicles with manual transmission)
• The D shift position is selected. (v ehicles with automatic transmission)
• The shift lever is in N. (vehicles with manual transmission)
• The driver’s seat belt is fastened.
• The driver’s door is closed.
• The selected driving mode is normal or Eco drive mode. (if equipped)
• The rear differential is not locked. (if equipped)
• is off. (vehicles without manual air conditioning system)

• The outside temperature is -5°C (23°F) or higher.
• The hood is closed. ( P. 349)
O In the following situations, the engine may not be stopped by the Stop &
Start system. This is not a malfunction of the Stop & Start system.
• When the air conditioning system is being used.
• When the battery is undergoing a periodic recharge.
• When the battery is not sufficiently charged, such as if the vehicle has
been parked for a long time and the battery charge has decreased, the
electric load is large, the battery fluid temperature is excessively low or
the battery has deteriorated.
• When the brake booster vacuum is low.
• When the elapsed time since the engine was restarted is short.
• When the vehicle is stopped frequently, such as when in a traffic jam.
• When the engine coolant temperature or transmission fluid temperature
is extremely low or high.
• When the vehicle is stopped on a steep incline. (vehicles with automatic
transmission)
• When the steering wheel is being operated.
• When the vehicle is being driven in a high altitude area.
• When the battery fluid temperature is extremely low or high.

When trouble arises
WARNING
QWhen attempting to free a stuck vehicle
If you choose to push the vehicle back and forth to free it, make sure the
surrounding area is clear to avoid striking other vehicles, objects or people.
The vehicle may also lunge forward or lunge back suddenly as it becomes
free. Use extreme caution.
Q When shifting the shift lever
For vehicles with automatic transmission, be careful not to shift the shift
lever with the accelerator pedal depressed.
This may lead to unexpected rapid acceleration of the vehicle that may
cause an accident resulting in death or serious injury.
NOTICE
Q To avoid damage to the transmission and other components
O Avoid spinning the wheels and depressing the accelerator pedal more
than necessary.
O If the vehicle remains stuck even after these procedures are performed,
the vehicle may require towing to be freed.
O Vehicles with automatic transmission: When a warning message for the
automatic transmission fluid temperature is displayed while attempting to
free a stuck vehicle, immediately remove your foot from the accelerator
pedal and wait until the warning message disappears. Otherwise, the
transmission may become damaged. ( P. 238)
