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.

Practical information
7
► 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.– 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.

Changing a bulb must only be done with the ignition off and after the lamp has been switched off for several minutes - risk of serious burns!Do not touch the bulb directly with your fingers, use a lint-free cloth.It is essential only to use anti-ultraviolet (UV) type bulbs, so as not to damage the headlamp.Always replace a failed bulb with a new bulb of the same type and specification.
WARNI NG
Opening the bonnet / Accessing the bulbsWith the engine warm, proceed with caution - risk of burns!Take care with objects or clothing that could be caught in the blades of the cooling fan - risk of strangulation!

Halogen bulbs (Hx)To ensure good quality lighting, check that the bulb is correctly positioned in its housing.
WARNI NG
After changing a bulbTo refit, carry out the fitting operations in reverse order.Close the protective cover very carefully to guarantee the sealing of the lamps.

For the replacement of this type of bulb, you must contact a TOYOTA dealer or a qualified workshop.
Types of bulb
Various types of bulb are fitted on the vehicle. To remove them:
Type AAll-glass bulb: pull gently as it is fitted by pressure.
Type BBayonet bulb: press on the bulb then turn it anti-clockwise.
Type CHalogen bulb: release the retaining spring from its housing.
Type DHalogen bulb: turn the bulb anti-clockwise.

Engine technical data and
towed loads
Engines
The engine characteristics are given in the vehicle's registration document, as well as in sales brochures.
NOTIC E
The maximum power corresponds to the value type-approved on a test bed, under conditions defined in European legislation (Directive 1999/99/EC).
For more information, contact a TOYOTA dealer or a qualified workshop.
Weights and towed loads
The weights and towed loads relating to your vehicle are indicated on the registration document, as well as in sales brochures.These values are also indicated on the manufacturer's plate or label.For more information, contact a TOYOTA dealer or a qualified workshop.The GTW (Gross Train Weight) and towed load values indicated are valid up to a maximum altitude of 1,000 metres (3,280 ft). The towed load value must be reduced by 10% for each additional 1,000 metres (3,280 ft) of altitude.
The maximum authorised nose weight corresponds to the weight permitted on the towball.
WARNI NG
When exterior temperatures are high, the vehicle performance may be limited in order to protect the engine. When the exterior temperature is higher than 37°C, limit the
towed weight.
WARNI NG
Towing even with a lightly loaded vehicle can adversely affect its road holding.Braking distances are increased when towing a trailer.When using a vehicle to tow, never exceed a speed of 100 km/h (62 mph) (observe the local legislation in force).
NOTIC E
If the exterior temperature is high, it is recommended that the engine is allowed to idle for 1 to 2 minutes after the vehicle comes to a stop, to facilitate its cooling.
