Fitting different tyres on the front and rear axles can cause the VSC to mistime.Always mark the direction of rotation on the tyres that will be stored when fitting winter or summer tyres. Store them in a cool, dry place and away from direct exposure to the sun's rays.Winter or 4-seasons tyres can be identified by this symbol on their sidewalls.
Shock absorbers
It is not easy for drivers to detect when shock absorbers are worn. Nevertheless, the shock absorbers have a major impact on road holding and braking performance.For your safety and driving comfort, it is important to have them regularly checked by any authorized Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or any reliable repairer.
Timing and accessory kits
The timing and accessory kits are used from the time the engine is started until it is switched off. It is normal for them to wear over time.A faulty timing or accessory kit can damage the engine, rendering it unusable. Observe the recommended replacement frequency, stated in distance travelled or time elapsed, whichever is reached first.
AdBlue® (Diesel engines)
To respect the environment and ensure compliance with the Euro 6 standard, without adversely affecting the performance or fuel consumption of its Diesel engines, TOYOTA has taken the decision to equip its vehicles with a system that associates SCR (Selective Catalytic Reduction) with a Diesel particle filter (DPF) for
the treatment of exhaust gases.
SCR system
Using a liquid called AdBlue® that contains urea, a catalytic converter turns up to 85% of the nitrogen oxides (NOx) into nitrogen and water, which are harmless to health and the environment.The AdBlue® is contained in a special tank holding about 20 litres.Its capacity allows a driving range of approximately 3,000 miles (5,000 km) (which may vary considerably depending on your driving style and the vehicle). An alert system is automatically triggered when the remaining range reaches 1,500 miles (2,400 km), i.e. once the reserve level has been reached.Several alerts are triggered successively during the remaining 1,500 miles (2,400 km) until the tank is empty and the vehicle is immobilised.If the estimated distance travelled by the vehicle between two services is greater than 3,000 miles (5,000 km), it will be necessary to top up the AdBlue.
NOTIC E
For more information on the Warning and indicator lamps and the associated alerts, or the Indicators, please refer to the corresponding sections.
WARNI NG
Once the AdBlue® tank is empty, a device required by law prevents the engine from being restarted.If the SCR system is faulty, the level of emissions from the vehicle will no longer meet the Euro 6 standard and the vehicle starts polluting the environment.In the event of a confirmed SCR system malfunction, it is essential to visit any authorized Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or any reliable repairer. After 685 miles (1,100 km), a device is automatically activated to prevent the engine from starting.In both cases, a range indicator indicates the distance that can be travelled before the vehicle is stopped.

Freezing of the AdBlue®
AdBlue® freezes at temperatures below around -11°C.The SCR system includes a heater for the AdBlue® tank, allowing you to continue driving in very cold conditions.
Supply of AdBlue®
It is recommended that the AdBlue® be topped up as soon as the first alert is issued indicating that the reserve level has been reached.
WARNI NG
For the correct operation of the SCR system:– Use only AdBlue® fluid that meets the ISO 22241 standard.– Never transfer AdBlue® to another container as it would lose its purity.– Never dilute AdBlue® with water.
You can obtain AdBlue® from any authorized Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or any reliable repairer, as well as service stations equipped with AdBlue® pumps specially designed for passenger vehicles.
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.
224
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.
Accessing the AdBlue® tank
► To access the AdBlue® tank, open the front left-hand door.► Turn the blue cap a 6th of a turn anti-clockwise.► Release the cap upwards.► With a container of AdBlue®: after checking the expiry date, read the instructions on the label carefully before pouring the contents of the container into the vehicle's AdBlue tank.► With an AdBlue® pump: insert the nozzle and fill the tank until the nozzle automatically cuts out.► After filling, perform the same sequence of operations in reverse order.
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.The system only registers AdBlue® top-ups of 5 litres or more.
WARNI NG
If the AdBlue® tank is completely empty – which is confirmed by the message "Top up AdBlue: Starting impossible" – it is essential to add at least 5 litres.
