accordance with driving conditions.
■Equipment characteristics
The DPF system has the following characteristics:
●
Idle speed increases during cleaning
● The smell of the exhaust gas changes
● When starting the engine, white-colored steam (water vapor)
may be expelled during cleaning
● Acceleration performance may degrade during cleaning
■Replacing the engine oil
→ P. 469
Diesel par ticulate filter system (diesel
engine only)
When the deposit collected by the filter reaches a predetermined
amount, it is automatically cleaned.
WARNING
■ Exhaust pipe
Do not touch the exhaust pipe during cleaning, as the exhaust pipe and
exhaust gases will become particularly hot. Also, make sure that there are
no people or flammable materials near the exhaust pipe while the vehicle is
stopped.
Failure to do so may cause injury by burning or a fire.

clean the DPF catalytic converter. (Deposits may accumulate more
quickly due to repeated short trips and/or frequent low-speed driv-
ing.)
To clean the DPF catalytic converter, drive the vehicle at a speed of

Vehicle specifications
X1ND-TV engine
“Toyota Genuine Motor Oil” is used in your Toyota vehicle. Toyota
recommends the use of approved “Toyota Genuine Motor Oil”.
Another motor oil of matching quality can also be used.
Oil grade: ACEA C2
Recommended viscosity (SAE):
SAE 0W-30 is filled into your
Toyota vehicle at manufactur-
ing, and the best choice for
good fuel economy and good
starting in cold weather.
Oil viscosity (0W-30 is explained here as an example): • The 0W in 0W-30 indicates the characteristic of the oil which allows cold startability. Oils with a lower value before the W allow
for easier starting of the engine in cold weather.
• The 30 in 0W-30 indicates the viscosity characteristic of the oil
when the oil is at high temperature. An oil with a higher viscosity
(one with a higher value) may be better suited if the vehicle is
operated at high speeds, or under extreme load conditions.
NOTICE
Using engine oil other than ACEA C2 may damage the catalytic converter.

Notice on fuel quality
●Do not use improper fuels. If impr oper fuels are used, the engine will be
damaged.
● Gasoline engine: Do not use leaded gasoline.
Leaded gasoline will cause the three-way catalytic converter to lose its
effectiveness and the emission control system to function improperly.
● Diesel engine: Do not use a fuel that contains more than 50 ppm of sulfur.
Use of such a high sulfur fuel may damage the engine.
● Gasoline engine (EU area): Bioethanol fuel sold under names such as
“E50” or “E85” and fuel containing a large amount of ethanol should not be
used. The use of these fuels will damage the vehicle's fuel system. In case
of any doubt, ask any authorized Toyota dealer or repairer, or another duly
qualified and equipped professional.
● Gasoline engine (except EU area): Bioethanol fuel sold under names such
as “E50” or “E85” and fuel containing a large amount of ethanol should not
be used. Your vehicle can use gasoline mixed with 10% max ethanol. The
use of fuel with more than 10% ethanol content (E10) will damage the
vehicle’s fuel system. You must ensure that refueling is carried out only
from a source where fuel specification and quality can be guaranteed. In
case of any doubt, ask any authorized Toyota dealer or repairer, or another
duly qualified and equipped professional.
● Gasoline engine: Do not use the methanol blended gasoline such as M15,
M85, M100. The use of gasoline containing methanol may cause engine
damage or failure.
● Diesel engine (EU area): FAME (Fatty Acid Methyl Ester) fuel sold under
names such as “B30” or “B100” and fuel containing a large amount of
FAME should not be used. The use of these fuels will damage the vehi-
cle's fuel system. In case of any doubt, ask any authorized Toyota dealer
or repairer, or another duly qualified and equipped professional.
● Diesel engine (except EU area): FAME (Fatty Acid Methyl Ester) fuel sold
under names such as “B30” or “B100” and fuel containing a large amount
of FAME should not be used. Your vehicle can use diesel mixed with 5%
max biodiesel FAME (B5). The use of fuel with more than 5% FAME con-
tent (B5) will damage the vehicle’s fuel system. You must ensure that refu-
eling is carried out only from a source where fuel specification and quality
can be guaranteed. In case of any doubt, ask any authorized Toyota
dealer or repairer, or another dul y qualified and equipped professional.
