1724-2. Driving procedures
COROLLA_U
*: If equipped
*: To improve fuel efficiency and reduce noise, shift the shift lever
to D for normal driving.
■To protect the continuously
variable transmission
If the continuously variable trans-
mission fluid temperature is high,
“Transmission Oil Temp. High Stop
in a Safe Place and See Owner’s
Manual” will be d isplayed on the
multi-information display and the
vehicle will go into transmission pro-
tection mode automatically. Have the vehicle inspected by your Toyota
dealer.
■When driving with dynamic
radar cruise control with
full-speed range activated
Even when switching the driving
mode to sport mode with the intent
of enabling engine braking, engine
braking will not occur because
dynamic radar cruise control with
full-speed range will not be can-
celed. ( P.271)
■Restraining sudden start
(Drive-Start Control)
 P.152
■G AI-SHIFT
G AI-SHIFT automat ically selects a
suitable gear for sporty driving
according to drive r’s input and driv-
ing conditions. G AI-SHIFT operates
automatically when th e shift lever is
in D and sport mode is selected for
the driving mode. (Selecting normal
mode or shifting the shift lever to the
M position cancels this function.)
■After recharging/reconnecting
the battery

cles with paddle shift
switches)

■When driving on slippery
road surfaces
Do not accelerate or shift the shift
gears suddenly.
Sudden changes in engine brak-
ing may cause the vehicle to spin
or skid, resulting in an accident.

WA R N I N G
The engine compartment contains
many mechanisms and fluids that
may move suddenly, become hot,
or become electrically energized.
To avoid death or serious injury,
observe the following precautions.
■When working on the engine
compartment
●Keep hands, clothing and tools
away from the moving fan and
engine drive belt.
●Be careful not to touch the
engine, radiator , exhaust mani-
fold, etc. right a fter driving as
they may be hot . Oil and other
fluids may also be hot.
●Do not leave anything that may
burn easily, such as paper and
rags, in the engine compart-
ment.
●Do not smoke, cause sparks or
expose an open flame to fuel or
the battery. Fuel and battery
fumes are flammable.
ItemsParts and tools●Be extremely cautious when
working on the battery. It con-
tains poisonous and corrosive
sulfuric acid.
■When working near the elec-
tric cooling fan or radiator
grille
Be sure the engine switch is OFF.
With the engine switch in ON, the
electric cooling fa n may automati-
cally start to run if the air condi-
tioning is on and/or the coolant
temperature is high. ( P.471)
■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 ai r cleaner filter
removed may cause excessive
engine wear due to dirt in the air.

■Checking the engine oil
1 Park the vehicle on level
ground. After warming up the
engine and turning it off, wait
more than 5 minutes for the
oil to drain back into the bot-
tom of the engine.Checking and adding the

Vehicle specifications
COROLLA_U
Outside temperature
SAE 0W-20 is the best choice
for good fuel economy and good
starting in cold weather.
If SAE 0W-20 is not available,
SAE 5W-20 oil may be used.
However, it must be replaced
with SAE 0W-20 at the next oil
change.
Oil viscosity (0W-20 is explained
here as an example):
• The 0W in 0W-20 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 20 in 0W-20 indicates the viscosity characteristic of the
oil when the oil is at high tem-
perature. 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.
How to read oil container label:
The International Lubricant
Specification Advisory Commit-
tee (ILSAC) Certification Mark is added to some oil containers to
help you select the oil you
should use.
■Oil capacity (Drain and refill
[Reference
*])
*: The engine oil capacity is a refer-
ence quantity to be used when
changing the engine oil. Warm up
and turn off the engine, wait more
than 5 minutes, an d check the oil
level on the dipstick.
■Engine oil selection
“Toyota Genuine Motor Oil” is
used in your Toyota vehicle. Use
Toyota approved “Toyota Genu-
ine Motor Oil” or equivalent to
satisfy the following grade and
viscosity.
Oil grade: API SN/RC multi-
grade engine oil
Recommended viscosity: SAE
Lubrication system (2.0 L
4-cylinder [M20A-FKS]
engine)
With filter4.9 qt. (4.6 L, 4.0 Imp.
qt.)
Without filter4.5 qt. (4.3 L, 3.8 Imp.
qt.)

0W-16Outside temperature
SAE 0W-16 is the best choice
for good fuel economy and good
starting in cold weather.
If SAE 0W-16 is not available,
SAE 0W-20 oil may be used.
However, it must be replaced
with SAE 0W-16 at the next oil
change.
Oil viscosity (0W-16 is explained
here as an example):
• The 0W in 0W-16 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 16 in 0W-16 indicates the viscosity characteristic of the
oil when the oil is at high tem-
perature. 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.
How to read oil container label:
API registered mark is added to
some oil containers to help you select the oil you should use.
