◆Regeneration
● During normal driving, the filter is automatically regenerated
every several hundred kilometers*. During regeneration, the DPF
system warning message “DPF regeneration in progress” is dis-
played on the multi-information display.
● When the amount of accumulated deposit reaches a certain
level, regeneration can be performed. ( P. 370)
*: Differs in accordance with weather, driving conditions, etc.
◆System characteristics
The DPF system has the following characteristics:
● Idle speed increases during regeneration
● The smell of the exhaust gas differs from that of a conventional
diesel vehicle
● White smoke may be emitted from the exhaust pipe during
regeneration. However, this does not indicate a malfunction.
The amount of accumulated deposit in the DPF system can be con-
firmed on the multi-information display.
The DPF deposition status appears when the DPF system switch is
pressed or the warning massage is displayed. Use the displayed DPF
deposition as a reference.

●If the DPF system warning message “DPF full See owner’s manual”
appears on the multi-information display, follow the procedure
below to regenerate.
When regenerating the filter during driving the vehicle
To regenerate the filter, the following driving methods are recom-
mended.*1
• By driving continuously (for example, at around 60 km/h [37 mph]
for 20 to 30 minutes).
• By avoiding short trips, or by driving continuously (leaving the
engine running for long periods of time).
Check the engine is warmed up before driving the vehicle to regenerate
the filter. If the engine is cold, warm up the engine by driving the vehicle
downshifting to increase the engine speed.*2
The warning message will disappear on the multi-information display when
regeneration is complete. However, depending on the driving condition
such as heavy traffic, the amount of accumulated deposit increases and
the warning message may not disappear on the multi-information display.
If the warning message does not disappear on the multi-information dis-
play after driving, press the DPF system switch to manually regenerate the
filter.
Regeneration during driving cannot be performed when the vehicle is
higher than 4000 m (13124 ft.) above sea level.
*1: When driving, pay sufficient attention to weather, road conditions, ter-
rain and traffic conditions, and drive according to traffic laws.
*2: Depending on the situation, it may be necessary to downshift until the
engine speed is increased to 3000 rpm. If the engine coolant tempera-
ture or exhaust gas temperature is low, it may take a long time to
regenerate, or regeneration may be impossible.

When regenerating the filter by pressing the DPF system switch
Stop the vehicle in a safe place.
Shift the shift lever to P (automatic transmission) or N (manual
transmission), and firmly set the parking brake.
Do not stop the engine.
Also, make sure that there are no flammable materials near the exhaust
pipe. ( P. 368)
Check the engine is warmed up. If the engine is cold, warm up the engine
by depressing the accelerator pedal.*1
Press the DPF system switch.
The DPF system warning message
shown in the illustration appears
on the multi-information display,
and the idling engine speed will
increase.
Regeneration will take around 15 -
40 minutes to complete.*2
When the DPF system warning message disappears on the multi-
information display, the idling engine speed will have finished return-
ing to normal.
The DPF system switch may not operate when the vehicle is higher
than 4000 m (13123 ft.) above sea level.
*1: Depending on the situation, it may be necessary to depress the acceler-
ator pedal until the engine speed is increased to 3000 rpm. If the engine
coolant temperature or exhaust gas temperature is low, it may take a
long time to regenerate, or regeneration may be impossible.
*2: Time required for regeneration differs in accordance with the outside
temperature. Also, if the engine speed is still approximately 2000 rpm
10 minutes after pressing the DPF system switch, the exhaust gas tem-
perature may be low. In this case, depress the accelerator pedal to run
the engine at approximately 3000 rpm for a while.
When depressing the accelerator pedal, regeneration will be stopped. In
this case, restart regeneration.

●If the “DPF full Manual regeneration required See owner’s manual”
appears on the multi-information display, press the DPF system
switch to regenerate the filter. ( P. 370)
● If the DPF system warning message “DPF full Visit your dealer”
appears on the multi-information display and a buzzer sounds (mal-
function indicator lamp comes on), have the vehicle inspected by
any authorized Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or any
reliable repairer immediately.
■ Regeneration with the DPF system switch
● After pressing the DPF system switch, depressing the accelerator pedal or
clutch pedal (manual transmission) will stop regeneration. If regeneration
has been stopped, restart regeneration as soon as possible.
● After regeneration is finished, race the engine several time to clean the
exhaust system.
■ DPF system warning
Under the following driving conditions, the DPF system warning message
may be displayed on the multi-information display earlier than normal.*
● When only driving at low speeds (for example 20 km/h [12 mph] or below).
● If the engine is turned on and off frequently (if the engine is not left running
for more than 10 minutes at a time).
*: Differs in accordance with weather, driving conditions, etc.
NOTICE
■ If the malfunction indicator lamp comes on (warning buzzer)
The malfunction indicator lamp comes on if you continue driving while the
DPF system warning message appears on the multi-information display. In
this event, damage may be caused to the vehicle or an accident may occur.
Have the vehicle inspected by any authorized Toyota retailer or Toyota
authorized repairer, or any reliable repairer immediately.
