■If “Exhaust Filter Full See Owner’s Manual” is shown on the multi-
information display
●The message may be displayed while
high load driving with particulate mat- ter accumulating.
●Engine output (engine speed) is restricted when a certain amount of particulate matter accumulates, how-
ever, 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 Required Visit Your Dealer” is
shown on the multi-information display
The amount of accumulated particulate
matter has exceeded a certain level. Have the vehicle inspected by any
authorized Toyota retailer or Toyota
authorized repairer, or any reliable repairer immediately.
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 f ilter automati-
cally, depending on the vehicle
conditions.

the ABS, brake assist, VSC, Trailer Sway Control, TRC and hill-start assist control systems
●A sound may be heard from the engine compartment when the brake
pedal is depressed repeatedly, when the engine is started or just after the vehicle begins to move. This sound
does not indicate that a malfunction has occurred in any of these systems.
●Any of the following conditions may occur when the above systems are operating. None of these indicates
that a malfunction has occurred. • Vibrations may be felt through the vehicle body and steering.
• A motor sound may be heard also after the vehicle comes to a stop.• The brake pedal may pulsate slightly
after the ABS is activated. • The brake pedal may move down slightly after the ABS is activated.
■Active Cornering Assist operation
sounds and vibrations
When the Active Cornering Assist is
operated, operation sounds and vibra-
tions may be generated from the brake system, but this is not a malfunction.
■EPS operation sound
When the steering wheel is operated, a
motor sound (whirring sound) may be heard. This does not indicate a malfunc-tion.
■Automatic reactivation of TRC,
Trailer Sway Control and VSC sys- tems
After turning the TRC, Trailer Sway Con-
trol and VSC systems off, the systems will be automatically re-enabled in the following situations:
●When the engine switch is turned off

The system operates when the following
occurs.
●TRC/VSC can operate
●The driver is attempting to accelerate while turning
●The system detects that the vehicle is drifting to the outer side
●The brake pedal is released
■Reduced effectiveness of the EPS system
The effectiveness of the EPS system is reduced to prevent the system from overheating when there is frequent
steering input over an extended period of time. The steering wheel may feel heavy as a result. Should this occur,
refrain from excessive steering input or stop the vehicle and turn the engine off. The EPS system should return to nor-
mal within 10 minutes.

5-1. Using the air conditioning system and defogger
■Fogging up of the windows
●The windows will easily fog up when the humidity in the vehicle is high. Turning “A/C” switch is on will dehu-
midify the air from the outlets and defog the windshield effectively.
●If you turn “A/C” switch is off, the win-dows 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.
●During cooling operation, setting the recirculated air mode will also cool the
vehicle interior effectively.
■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.
