Misfuel prevention (Diesel)
(Depending on country of sale.)This mechanical device prevents filling the tank of a Diesel vehicle with petrol.Located in the filler neck, the misfuel prevention device appears when the filler cap is removed.
Operation
When a petrol filler nozzle is inserted into the fuel filler neck of a Diesel vehicle, it comes into contact with the flap. The system remains closed
and prevents filling.Do not persist but introduce a Diesel type filler nozzle.
NOTIC E
It remains possible to use a fuel jerrycan to fill the tank.
NOTIC E
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.

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.
WARNI NG
Only use products recommended by TOYOTA or products of equivalent quality and specification.In order to optimise the operation of components as important as those in the braking system, TOYOTA selects and offers very specific products.
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.
NOTIC E
For more information on the precautions to take before any work on the 12 V battery, refer to the corresponding section.
WARNI NG
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 a TOYOTA dealer or a qualified workshop.
Passenger compartment
filter
Depending on the environment and the use of the vehicle (e.g. dusty atmosphere, city driving), change it twice as often, if necessary.

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.
WARNI NG
If the AdBlue® tank is completely empty – which is confirmed by the “Top up AdBlue: Starting impossible” message – it is essential to add at least 5 litres.
