Maintenance and care
M15A-FKS engine 
1 Remove the oil filler cap by turn- 
ing it counterclockwise. 
2 Add engine oil slowly, checking  
the dipstick. 
3 Install the oil filler cap by turning  
it clockwise.
■Engine oil consumption 
A certain amount of engine oil will be  consumed while driving. In the following  
situations, oil consumption may 
increase, and engine oil may need to be  refilled in between oil maintenance inter- 
vals.
●When the engine is new, for example 
directly after purchasing the vehicle or 
after replacing the engine
●If low quality oil or oil of an inappropri-
ate viscosity is used
●When driving at high engine speeds 
or with a heavy load, when towing, or  when driving while accelerating or  
decelerating frequently
●When leaving the engine idling for a 
long time, or when driving frequently 
through heavy traffic
The coolant level is  satisfactory if it  
is between the “FULL” and “LOW” 
lines on the reservoir when the

■Used engine oil
●Used engine oil contains poten- 
tially harmful contaminants which  may cause skin disorders such as  
inflammation and skin cancer, so 
care should be taken to avoid pro- longed and repeated contact. To  
remove used engine oil from your 
skin, wash thoroughly with soap 
and water.
●Dispose of used oil and filters only 
in a safe and acceptable manner.  Do not dispose of used oil and fil- 
ters in household trash, in sewers 
or onto the ground. Call any authorized Toyota retailer  
or Toyota authorized repairer, or 
any reliable repairer, service station  or auto parts store for information  
concerning recycling or disposal.
●Do not leave used engine oil within 
the reach of children.
NOTICE
■To prevent serious engine dam- age 
Check the oil level on a regular basis.
■When replacing the engine oil
●Be careful not to spill engine oil on  
the vehicle components.
●Avoid overfilling, or the engine 
could be damaged.
●Check the oil level on the dipstick 
every time you refill the vehicle.
●Be sure the engine oil filler cap is 
properly tightened.

When trouble arises
■If “Engine Oil Level Low Add or  
Replace” is displayed (M15A-FKS  engine) 
The engine oil level is low. Check the  
level of the engine oil, and add if neces- sary. 
This message may appear if the vehicle  
is stopped on a slope. Move the vehicle  to a level surface and check to see if the  
message disappears.
■If “Engine Stopped Steering Power 
Low” is displayed 
This message is displayed if the engine  
is stopped while driving. 
When steering wheel operations are  heavier than usual, grip the steering  
wheel firmly and operate it using more 
force than usual.
■If “Auto Power OFF to Conserve  Battery” is displayed 
Power was cut off due to the automatic  
power off function. Next time when start- ing the engine, increase the engine  
speed slightly and maintain that level for 
approximately 5 minutes to recharge the  battery.
■If “Headlight System Malfunction  
Visit Your Dealer” is displayed 
The following systems may be malfunc- tioning. Have the vehicle inspected by  
any authorized Toyota retailer or Toyota 
authorized repairer, or any reliable  repairer immediately.
●The LED headli ght system (if  equipped)
●Automatic High Beam (if equipped)
■If a message that indicates the mal-function of front camera is dis- 
played

pended until the problem shown in the  message is resolved. ( P.200, 471)
●PCS (Pre-Collision system) (if  equipped)
●LTA (Lane Tracing Assist) (if equipped)
●LDA (Lane Departure Alert with steer- 
ing control) (if equipped)
●Automatic High Beam (if equipped)
●RSA (Road Sign Assist) (if equipped)
●Dynamic radar cruise control with  
full-speed range (if equipped)
●Dynamic radar cruise control (if 
equipped)
■If “Radar Cruise Control Unavaila- ble See Owner's Manual” is dis- 
played (if equipped) 
The dynamic radar cruise control with  full-speed range system or dynamic  
radar cruise control system is sus-
pended temporarily or until the problem  shown in the message is resolved.  
(causes and coping methods:  P.200)
■If “Radar Cruise Control Unavaila- 
ble” is displayed (if equipped) 
The dynamic radar cruise control with  
full-speed range system or dynamic 
radar cruise control system cannot be  used temporarily. Use the system when  
it becomes available again.
■If a message that indicates the

■Engine oil selection (1ZR-FAE  
engine) 
“Toyota Genuine Motor Oil” is used  
in your Toyota vehicle. Toyota rec-
ommends the use of approved 
“Toyota Genuine Motor Oil”. 
Another motor oil of matching qual-
ity can also be used. 
Oil grade:
0W-20 and 5W-30: 
API grade SM “Energy-Conserv-
ing”, SN “Resource-Conserving”, 
SN PLUS “Resource-Conserving” 
or SP “Resource-Conserving”; or  
ILSAC GF-6A multigrade engine oil 
Recommended viscosity (SAE): 
Preferred 
Temperature range anticipated  
before next oil change 
SAE 0W-20 is filled in to your Toyota  
vehicle at manufacturing, and the 
best choice for good fuel economy 
and good starting in cold weather. If 
SAE 0W-20 oil is not available, 
SAE 5W-30 oil may be used. How-
ever, it should be replaced with 
SAE 0W-20 at the ne xt oil change. 
Oil viscosity (0W-20 is explained  
here as an example):
• The 0W in 0W-20 indicates the 
characteristic of the oil which 
allows cold startability. Oils with a 
lower value before the W allow 
for easier starting of the engine 
in cold weather.
• The 20 in 0W-20 indicates the 
viscosity characteristic of the oil 
when the oil is at high tempera-
ture. An oil with a higher viscos-
