Passenger compartment
filter
Depending on the environment and the use of the vehicle (e.g. dusty atmosphere, city driving), change it twice as often, if necessary.
NOTIC E
A clogged passenger compartment filter can adversely affect air conditioning system performance and generate undesirable odours.
Air filter
Depending on the environment and the use of the vehicle (e.g. dusty atmosphere,
city driving), change it twice as often, if necessary.
Oil filter
Change the oil filter each time the engine oil is changed.
Particle filter (Diesel)
The start of clogging of the particle filter is indicated by the temporary lighting of this warning lamp, accompanied by an alert message.
As soon as the traffic conditions permit, regenerate the filter by driving at a speed of at least 60 km/h (37 mph) until the warning lamp goes off.
NOTIC E
If the warning lamp stays on, this indicates a low Diesel additive level.For more information on Checking levels, refer to the corresponding section.
NOTIC E
Following prolonged operation of the vehicle at very low speed or at idle, you may, in exceptional circumstances, notice the emission of water vapour at the exhaust while accelerating. This has no impact on the vehicle’s behaviour or the environment.

220
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.

222
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.
