●The message may be displayed while
high load driving with particulate mat-
ter accumulating.
●Engine output is restricted while the
message is displayed, however, it is
possible to drive the vehicle unless
the malfunction indicator lamp comes
on.
●Particulate matter can accumulate
more quickly if the vehicle is fre-
quently driven short trips or at low
speeds, or if the engine is regularly
started in an extremely cold environ-
ment. Excessive accumulation of par-
ticulate matter can be prevented by
periodically driving long distances
continuously with intermittent releas-
ing of the accelerator pedal, such as
when driving on highways and free-
ways.
■If the malfunction indicator lamp
comes on or “Engine Maintenance

authorized Toyota retailer or Toyota
GPF (Gasoline Particu-
late Filter) system
*
The GPF system collects par-
ticulate matter in the exhaust
gas by using an exhaust gas
filter.
The system will operate to
regenerate the filter automati-
cally, depending on the vehicle
conditions.

●Do not modify the exhaust pipes
Driving assist systems
To keep driving safety and per-
formance, the following sys-
tems operate automatically in
response to various driving sit-
uations. Be aware, however,
that these systems are supple-
mentary and should not be
relied upon too heavily when
operating the vehicle.

5-1. Using the air conditioning system and defogger
is pressed, the fan speed setting
mode toggles as follows.
Normal → “ECO” → “FAST” → Nor-
mal
When “ECO” is displayed on the air
conditioning screen, the air condi-
tioning is controlled with low fuel
consumption prioritized such as
reducing fan speed, etc.
When “FAST” is displayed on the
screen, fan speed will be
increased.
■Fogging up of the windows
●The windows will easily fog up when
the humidity in the vehicle is high.
Turning “A/C” on will dehumidify the
air from the outlets and defog the
windshield effectively.
●If you turn “A/C” off, the windows may
fog up more easily.
●The windows may fog up if the recir-
culated air mode is used.
■When driving on dusty roads
Close all windows. If dust thrown up by
the vehicle is still drawn into the vehicle
after closing the windows, it is recom-
mended that the air intake mode be set
to outside air mode and the fan speed to
any setting except off.
■Outside/recirculated air mode
●Setting to the recirculated air mode
temporarily is recommended in pre-
venting dirty air from entering the
vehicle interior and helping to cool the
vehicle when the outside air tempera-
ture is high.
●Outside/recirculated air mode may
automatically switch depending on the
temperature setting or the inside tem-
perature.
■Operation of the air conditioning
system in Eco drive mode
●In Eco drive mode, the air conditioning
system is controlled as follows to pri-
oritize fuel efficiency:
• Engine speed and compressor opera-
tion controlled to restrict heating/cool-
ing capacity
• Fan speed restricted when automatic
mode is selected
●To improve air conditioning perfor-
mance, perform the following opera-
tions:
• Adjust the fan speed
• Turn off Eco drive mode (→P.266)
●Even when the drive mode is set to
Eco drive mode, the air conditioning
eco mode can be turned off by press-
ing the “FAST/ECO” switch. (→P.285)
■When the outside temperature falls
to nearly 0°C (32°F)
The dehumidification function may not
operate even when “A/C” switch is
pressed.
■Ventilation and air conditioning
odors
●To let fresh air in, set the air condition-
ing system to the outside air mode.
●During use, various odors from inside
and outside the vehicle may enter into
and accumulate in the air conditioning
system. This may then cause odor to
be emitted from the vents.
●To reduce potential odors from occur-
ring:
• It is recommended that the air condi-
tioning system be set to outside air
mode prior to turning the vehicle off.
• The start timing of the blower may be
delayed for a short period of time
immediately after the air conditioning
system is started in automatic mode.
●When parking, the system automati-
cally switches to outside air mode to
encourage better air circulation
throughout the vehicle, helping to
reduce odors that occur when starting
the vehicle.

The hood will pop up slightly.
2Push the auxiliary catch lever to
the left and lift the hood.
WARNING
●Do not smoke, cause sparks or expose an open flame to fuel or the
battery. Fuel and battery fumes are flammable.
●Be extremely cautious when work-ing on the battery. It contains poi-sonous and corrosive sulfuric acid.
●Take care because brake fluid can harm your hands or eyes and dam-
age painted surfaces. If fluid gets on your hands or in your eyes, flush the affected area with clean water
immediately. If you still experience discomfort, consult a doctor.
■When working near the electric cooling fan or radiator grille
Be sure the engine switch is OFF. With the engine switch in ON, the electric cooling fan may automatically
start to run if the air conditioning is on and/or the coolant temperature is high. ( →P.324)
■Safety glasses
Wear safety glasses to prevent flying
or falling material, fluid spray, etc. from getting in your eyes.
NOTICE
■If you remove the air cleaner fil-ter
Driving with the air cleaner filter
removed may cause excessive engine wear due to dirt in the air.
■If the fluid level is low or high
It is normal for the brake fluid level to go down slightly as the brake pads
wear or when the fluid level in the accumulator is high.If the reservoir needs frequent refill-
ing, it may indicate a serious problem.

door frame as shown.
Left-hand drive vehicles
Right-hand drive vehicles
■Effects of incorrect tire inflation pressure
Driving with incorrect tire inflation pres- sure may result in the following:
●Reduced safety
●Damage to the drive train
●Reduced tire life due to wear
●Reduced fuel economy
●Reduced driving comfort and poor
handling
If a tire needs frequent inflating, have it checked by any authorized Toyota
retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or any reliable repairer.
■Instructions for checking tire infla-tion pressure
When checking tire inflation pressure, observe the following:
●Check only when the tires are cold.If your vehicle has been parked for at least 3 hours or has not been driven
for more than 1.5 km or 1 mile, you will get an accurate cold tire inflation pressure reading.
●Always use a tire pressure gauge.It is difficult to judge if a tire is properly
inflated based only on its appearance.
●It is normal for the tire inflation pres-
sure to be higher after driving as heat is generated in the tire. Do not reduce
tire inflation pressure after driving.
●Passengers and luggage weight
should be placed so that the vehicle is balanced.
Tire inflation pressure
Make sure to maintain proper
tire inflation pressure. Tire
inflation pressure should be
checked at least once per
month. However, Toyota rec-
ommends that tire inflation
pressure be checked once
every two weeks. ( →P.417)
