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 any authorized Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or any reliable repairer.
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 any authorized Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or any reliable repairer.
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.
► 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 any authorized Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or any reliable repairer.– 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 your engine and complies with the recommendations in the service schedule supplied with the vehicle (or available from your authorized Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or any reliable repairer).Use of non-recommended oil may invalidate your warranty in the event of engine failure.

Topping up the engine oil level
For the location of the engine oil filler cap, please refer to the corresponding engine compartment illustration.► 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.► Top up the level if necessary.► After checking the level, carefully screw the oil filler cap back on and replace the dipstick in its tube.
NOTIC E
The oil level indication displayed on the instrument panel when the ignition is switched on is not valid for 30 minutes following an addition of oil.
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.
Power steering fluid
The level of this fluid should be close to the "MAX" mark. Check it, with the vehicle parked on level ground and with the engine cold, by reading the level on the filler neck.
Engine coolant
(Diesel)
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 level of coolant that is too low risks causing major damage to the engine; the coolant level must be close to the "MAX" mark without ever
going above it.If the level is close to or below the "MIN" mark, it is essential to top it up.When the engine is hot, the temperature of the coolant is regulated by the fan.As the cooling system is pressurised, wait at least one hour after switching off the engine before carrying out any work.In order 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.
(Electric)
WARNI NG
Do not top up the coolant.
If the level is close to or below the "MIN" mark, it is essential to contact any authorized Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or any reliable repairer.
Screenwash fluid
Top up to the required level when necessary.
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.).

222
WARNI NG
Never top up from an AdBlue® dispenser reserved for heavy goods vehicles.
Storage recommendations
AdBlue® freezes at about -11°C and deteriorates above +25°C. Containers should be stored in a cool area and protected from direct sunlight.Under these conditions, the fluid can be kept for at least a year.If the fluid has frozen, it can be used once it has completely thawed out in the ambient air.
WARNI NG
Never store AdBlue® containers in your vehicle.
Precautions for use
AdBlue® is a urea-based solution. This fluid is non-flammable, colourless and odourless (when kept in a cool place).In the event of contact with the skin, wash the affected area with soap and running water. In the event of contact with the eyes, immediately rinse the eyes with large amounts of water or with an eye wash solution for at least 15 minutes. Seek medical attention if you feel a persistent burning sensation or irritation.
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, inserting the key into the ignition switch, or bringing the key for the "Smart Entry & Start" 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 Smart Entry & Start, press the "START/STOP" button to switch off the engine.
