6Maintenance and care7When trouble arises

3905-1. Using the air conditioning system and defogger
UK_AURIS/AURIS_HV_EE (OM12F76E)
Front side outlets
Direct air flow to the left or right,
up or down.
Open the vent
Close the vent
Fogging up of the windows
The windows may fog up if the recirculated air mode is used.
Outside/recirculated air mode
When driving on dusty roads such as tunnels or in heavy traffic, set the out-
side/recirculated air mode button to the recirculated air mode. This is effective
in preventing outside air from entering the vehicle interior.

NOTICE
To prevent 12-volt battery discharge
Do not leave the heater system on longer than necessary when the engine
is stopped.

3985-1. Using the air conditioning system and defogger
UK_AURIS/AURIS_HV_EE (OM12F76E)When
is selected for the air outlets used
For your driving comfort, air flowing to the feet may be warmer than air flow-
ing to the upper body depending on the position of the temperature adjust-
ment dial.
Air conditioning odors
During use, various odors from inside and outside the vehicle may enter into
and accumulate in the air conditioning system. This may then cause odor to
be emitted from the vents.
To reduce potential odors from occurring:
• It is recommended that the air conditioning system be set to outside air
mode prior to turning the vehicle off.
• The start timing of the blower may be delayed for a short period of time
immediately after the air conditioning system is started in automatic mode.
Air conditioning system operations when the engine is stopped due to
the Stop & Start system (vehicles with a Stop & Start system)
When the engine is stopped due to Stop & Start system operation, the air
conditioning cooling, heating and dehumidification functions turn off and only
ambient temperature air is blown, and there is a possibility that the blowing of
ambient temperature air will stop. To prevent the air conditioning system from
turning off, press the Stop & Start cancel switch to deactivate the system.
When the windshield is fogged up and the engine is stopped due to the
Stop & Start system (vehicles with a Stop & Start system)
Press the Stop & Start cancel switch to restart the engine and turn on
to defog the windshield. Simply pressing will restart the engine and
defog the windshield.
If the windshield continuously fogs up, press the Stop & Start cancel switch
and refrain from using the Stop & Start system.
When an odor comes from the air conditioning system while the engine
is stopped due to the Stop & Start system (vehicles with a Stop & Start
system)
Press the Stop & Start cancel switch to restart the engine.

CAUTION
To prevent the windshield from fogging up
Do not use during cool air operation in extremely humid weather. The
difference between the temperature of the outside air and that of the wind-
shield can cause the outer surface of the windshield to fog up, blocking your
vision.
NOTICE
To prevent 12-volt battery discharge (except hybrid model)
Do not leave the air conditioning system on longer than necessary when the
engine is stopped.
To prevent 12-volt battery discharge (hybrid model)

Maintenance and care
CAUTION
Safety glasses
Wear safety glasses to prevent flying or falling material, fluid spray, etc.
from getting in your eyes.
NOTICE
If you remove the air cleaner filter
Driving with the air cleaner filter removed may cause excessive engine wear
due to dirt in the air.
If the fluid level is low or high
It is normal for the brake fluid level to go down slightly as the brake pads
wear or when the fluid level in the accumulator is high.
If the reservoir needs frequent refilling, it may indicate a serious problem.

5166-3. Do-it-yourself maintenance
UK_AURIS/AURIS_HV_EE (OM12F76E)
CAUTION
Used engine oil
Used engine oil contains potentially harmful contaminants which may
cause skin disorders such as inflammation and skin cancer, so care
should be taken to avoid prolonged 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 filters in household trash, in sewers or onto the
ground.
Call any authorized Toyota dealer or repairer, or another duly qualified and
equipped professional, 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 damage
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.
Engine oil (diesel engine only)
Using an engine oil other than ACEA C2 may damage the catalytic con-
verter.

5246-3. Do-it-yourself maintenance
UK_AURIS/AURIS_HV_EE (OM12F76E)
You may drain the fuel filter yourself. However, as the operation is dif-
ficult, we recommend having it drained by any authorized Toyota
dealer or repairer, or another duly qualified and equipped profes-
sional. Even if you decide to drain it yourself, contact any authorized
Toyota dealer or repairer, or another duly qualified and equipped pro-
fessional.
Vehicles without a multi-information display
The water in the fuel filter needs to be drained if the fuel filter warn-
ing light comes on and a buzzer sounds. (P. 598)
Vehicles with a multi-information display
When the “DRAIN WATER FROM FUEL FILTER” warning mes-
sage is shown on the multi-information display and a buzzer
sounds. (P. 620)
Vehicles without a smart entry & start system: Turn the engine
switch to the “LOCK” position.
Vehicles with a smart entry & start system: Turn the engine
switch off.
Place a small tray under the drain plug to catch the water and
any fuel that comes out.

Do not use soapy water or engine antifreeze instead of washer fluid.
Doing so may cause streaking on the vehicle’s painted surfaces.
Diluting washer fluid
