NOTIC E
New vehicleDuring the first few particle filter regeneration operations, you may notice a "burning" smell. This is perfectly normal.
Manual gearbox
The gearbox does not require any maintenance (no oil change).
Automatic gearbox
The gearbox does not require any maintenance (no oil change).
Drive selector (Electric)
The drive selector does not require any maintenance.
Manual parking brake
If you notice excessive brake lever travel or decreased effectiveness, the parking brake must be adjusted, even between two services.This system must be checked by any authorized Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or any reliable repairer.
Electric parking brake
This system does not require any routine servicing. However, in the event of a
problem, do not hesitate to have the system checked by a TOYOTA dealer or a qualified workshop.
NOTIC E
For more information on the Electric parking brake, refer to the corresponding section.
Brake pads
Brake wear depends on the style of driving, particularly in the case of vehicles used in town, over short distances. It may be necessary to have the condition of the brakes checked, even between vehicle services.Unless there is a leak in the circuit, a drop in the brake fluid level indicates that the brake pads are worn.
NOTIC E
After washing the vehicle, moisture, or in wintry conditions, ice can form on the brake discs and pads: braking efficiency may be reduced. Gently dab the brakes to dry and defrost them.
Brake disc/drum wear
For any information on checking brake disc/drum wear, contact any authorized Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or any reliable repairer.
Wheels and tyres
The inflation pressure of all tyres, including the spare wheel, must be checked on "cold” tyres.The pressures indicated on the tyre pressure label are valid for "cold" tyres. If you have driven for more than 10 minutes or more than 10 km (6 miles) at over 50 km/h (31 mph), add 0.3 bar (30 kPa) to the values indicated on the label.
WARNI NG
Under-inflation increases fuel consumption. Non-compliant tyre pressure causes premature wear on tyres and has an adverse effect on the vehicle's road holding - risk of an accident!
Driving with worn or damaged tyres reduces the braking and road holding performance of the vehicle. It is recommended to regularly check the condition of the tyres (tread and sidewalls) and wheel rims as well as the presence of the valves.When the wear indicators no longer appear set back from the tread, the depth of the grooves is less than 1.6 mm; it is imperative to replace the tyres.Using different size wheels and tyres from those specified can affect the lifetime of tyres, wheel
rotation, ground clearance, the speedometer reading and have an adverse effect on road holding.

WARNI NG
Go to any authorized Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or any reliable repairer as soon as possible.You must tell the technician that the kit has been used. After inspection, the technician will advise you on whether the tyre can be repaired or if it must be replaced.
► Adjust the tyre pressure using the compressor (to inflate: set switch B to position "I"; to deflate: set switch B to position "O" and press button C), according to the vehicle's tyre pressure label located by the driver's door.A subsequent loss of pressure indicates that the puncture has not been fully sealed; contact any authorized Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or any reliable repairer to have your vehicle repaired.► Remove the kit and stow it.► Drive at reduced speed (50 mph (80 km/h) max.), limiting the distance travelled to approximately 125 miles (200 km).
NOTIC E
The compressor can also be used, without
injecting sealant, to check and adjust the tyre pressures.
NOTIC E
If after approximately 7 minutes the required pressure is not reached, this indicates that the tyre is irreparably damaged; contact any authorized Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or any reliable repairer for assistance.
WARNI NG
Do not drive more than 125 miles (200 km) with a repaired tyre; see any authorized Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or any reliable repairer to have the tyre changed.
