Scrapping of your Toyota
The SRS airbag and seat belt pretensioner devices in your Toyota
contain explosive chemicals. If the vehicle is scrapped with the air-
bag and pretensioner left as they are, this may cause an accident
such as fire. Be sure to have the systems of the SRS airbag and
seat belt pretensioner removed and disposed of by a qualified ser-
vice shop or by an authorized Toyota dealer or repairer, or another
duly qualified and equipped professional, before you dispose of your
vehicle.
Your vehicle contains batteries and/or accumulators. Do not discard
them into the environment but cooperate with separate collection (Di-
rective 2006/66/EC).

70GAUGES, METERS AND SERVICE REMINDER INDICATORS
This meter displays the odometer and
two trip meters.
1. Odometer—Shows the total distance
the vehicle has been driven.
2. Two trip meters—Show two different
distances independently driven since
the last time each trip meter was set
to zero.
You can use one trip meter to calculate
the fuel economy and the other to
measure the distance on each trip. All
trip meter data is cancelled if the elec-
trical power source is disconnected.
3. Trip meter reset knob—Resets the two
trip meters to zero, and also change
the meter display.
To change the meter display, quickly
push and release the knob. The meter
display changes in the order from the
odometer to trip meter A to trip meter
B, then back to the odometer each
time you push.
To reset the trip meter A to zero, dis-
play the meter A reading, then push
and hold the knob until the meter is
set to zero. The same process can be
applied for resetting the trip meter B.The oil maintenance management sys-
tem (OMMS) is designed to inform you,
by means of a light, of the time to
change the engine oil and oil filter.
ENGINE OIL AND OIL FILTER CHANGE
Change the engine oil and oil filter in
either of the following cases:
DWhen the engine oil change reminder
light is lit.
DWhen the system is repaired.
DWhen the engine oil change reminder
light does not come on even if two
years have passed since the engine
oil was changed.
DWhen the engine oil change reminder
light does not come on even if you
have driven over 30000 km (18000
miles) since the engine oil was
changed.
The lighting timing will change according
to the driving condition.
Because engine oil deteriorates over
time, there are cases when it is neces-
sary to change the engine oil before
the engine oil change reminder light
comes on. In these cases, change the
engine oil and oil filter according to the
maintenance schedule. (For engine oil
maintenance intervals, see the separate
“Toyota Service Booklet” or “Toyota
Warranty Booklet”.)

76GAUGES, METERS AND SERVICE REMINDER INDICATORS
While driving on steep inclines or rough
roads which causes the vehicle to sub-
stantially sway or on curves, this light
may come on due to the movement of
engine oil in the engine.
In normal conditions, due to engine oil
consumption, this light may come on earli-
er than the specified service interval of
the scheduled maintenance. This is be-
cause the engine oil is consumed to the
low level within the scheduled mainte-
nance interval and does not indicate a
problem. (For detailed information, see
“Facts about engine oil consumption” on
page 123 in Section 2.)
NOTICE
Continued engine operation with low
engine oil will damage the engine.
(e) Malfunction Indicator Lamp
This lamp comes on in the following
cases.
a. On some models: The fuel tank is
completely empty. (See “Fuel gauge”
on page 68 in this Section for instruc-
tions.)
b. There is a problem somewhere in the
engine electricalsystem, electronic en-
gine control system orengine emission
control system.
If it comes on while you are driving in
case b, have your vehicle checked/re-
paired by any authorized Toyota dealer or
repairer, or another duly qualified and
equipped professional, as soon as pos-
sible.If engine speed does not increase when
the accelerator pedal is depressed, there
may be a problem somewhere in the elec-
tronic engine controlsystem. Stop the ve-
hicle and contact any authorized Toyota
dealer or repairer, or another duly quali-
fied and equipped professional, or take
your vehicle carefully, since the vehicle
performance will be lower than normal, to
any authorized Toyota dealer or repairer,
or another duly qualified and equipped
professional, as soon as possible.
Even if the abnormality in the electronic
engine controlsystem is corrected during
low speed driving, thesystem may not
recover until the engine is stopped and
the engine switch is turned to the “ACC”
or “LOCK” position.
The lamp flashes when the engine emis-
sion control system is not functioning cor-
rectly. If the engine is run for more than
50 hours with the lamp flashing, the sys-
tem will automatically reduce engine per-
formance until the malfunction is cor-
rected.
(f) Low Fuel Level Warning Light
This light comes on when the fuel level
in the tank becomes nearly empty. Fill up
the tank as soon as possible.
On inclines or curves, due to the move-
ment of fuel in the tank, the low fuel level
warning light may come on earlier than
usual.

(j) Timing Belt Replacement Warning
Light
This light will come on every time when
the trip amount gets between 140000 km
and 150000 km in kilometer reading or
90000 miles in mile reading to indicate
that the timing belt should be replaced.
When it comes on, have the belt replaced
and the warning light reset by any autho-
rized Toyota dealer or repairer, or another
duly qualified and equipped professional.
NOTICE
Continued driving without having the
belt replaced will result in a broken
belt and engine damage.
(k) Fuel Filter Warning Light
The light warns you that the amount of
accumulated water in the fuel filter has
reached the specified level.
If it comes on, drain the water immediate-
ly. (See page 200 in Section 7−2for
instructions for how to drain the water.)
NOTICE
Never drive the vehicle with the warn-
ing light on. Continued driving with
water accumulated in the fuel filter
will damage the fuel injection pump.
(l) Engine Oil Change Reminder Light
This light comes on to remind you to
change the engine oil and oil filter.
If the light comes on, change the engine
oil and oil filter at your earliest conve-
nience. For detailed information, see “Oil
maintenance managementsystem” on
page 70 in this Section.(m) Light Reminder Buzzer
This buzzer will sound if the driver ’s door
is opened while the engine switch is
turned to the “LOCK” position with the
headlight switch on. Removing the key will
not stop the buzzer as long as the head-
light switch is on.
CHECKING SERVICE REMINDER
INDICATORS (except the low fuel level
warning light)
1. Apply the parking brake.
2. Turn the engine switch to the “ACC”
position.
The SRS warning light should come on.
It goes off after about 6 seconds.
3. Turn the engine switch to the “ON”
position, but do not start the engine.
All the service reminder indicators ex-
cept the SRS warning light should
come on. The “ABS” warning light goes
off after a few seconds. The engine oil
change reminder light goes off after
about 5 seconds.
If any service reminder indicator or warn-
ing buzzer does not function as described
above, have it checked by any authorized
Toyota dealer or repairer, or another duly
qualified and equipped professional, as
soon as possible.

INFORMATION BEFORE DRIVING YOUR TOYOTA121
NOTICE
To prevent damage to the system and
a fire hazard, observe the following
precautions:
zUse only diesel fuel.
zDo not drive for long periods of
time while the DPF system indicator
light is flashing.
zDo not use fuel other than the spe-
cified type.
zDo not use engine oil other than
the recommended type.
zDo not modify the exhaust pipe.
zOperating the vehicle when the en-
gine oil contains a significant
amount of diesel fuel may result in
damage to the engine. If a signifi-
cant amount of fuel is present,
change the oil as soon as possible.
zDo not drive with an extremely low
fuel level; running out of fuel could
cause the engine to misfire, creat-
ing an excessive load on the cata-
lytic converter.
zDo not pull−or push−start your ve-
hicle.
zDo not turn off the engine switch
while the vehicle is moving.
zKeep your engine switch in good
running order. Malfunctions in the
engine electrical system or fuel sys-
tem could cause an extremely high
catalytic converter temperature.
zIf the engine becomes difficult to
start or stalls frequently, take your
vehicle in for a check−up to any
authorized Toyota dealer or repairer,
or another duly qualified and
equipped professional.
zTo ensure that the catalytic convert-
er and the entire emission control
system operate properly, your ve-
hicle must receive the periodic in-
spections required by the Toyota
Maintenance Schedule. For sched-
uled maintenance information, refer
to the “Toyota Service Booklet” or
“Toyota Warranty Booklet”.

FUNCTIONS OF ENGINE OIL
Engine oil has the primary functions of
lubricating and cooling the inside of the
engine, and plays a major role in main-
taining the engine in proper working order.
ENGINE OIL CONSUMPTION
It is normal that an engine should con-
sume some engine oil during normal
engine operation. The causes of oil
consumption in a normal engine are as
follows.
DOil is used to lubricate pistons, piston
rings and cylinders. A thin film of oil
is left on the cylinder wall when a pis-
ton moves downwards in the cylinder.
High negative pressure generated when
the vehicle is decelerating sucks some
of this oil into the combustion chamber.
This oil as well as some part of the oil
film left on the cylinder wall is burned
by the high temperature combustion
gases during the combustion process.
DOil is also used to lubricate the stems
of the intake valves. Some of this oil
is sucked into the combustion chamber
together with the intake air and is
burned along with the fuel. High tem-
perature exhaust gases also burn the
oil used to lubricate the exhaust valve
stems.
The amount of engine oil consumed de-
pends on the viscosity of the oil, the
quality of the oil and the conditions the
vehicle is driven under.
More oil is consumed by high−speed driv-
ing and frequent acceleration and decel-
eration.
A new engine consumes more oil, since
its pistons, piston rings and cylinder walls
have not become conditioned.
Oil consumption:Max. 1.0 L per 1000
km (1.1 qt./600 miles, 0.9 Imp. qt./600
miles)When judging the amount of oil con-
sumption, note that the oil may become
diluted and make it difficult to judge
the true level accurately.
As an example, if a vehicle is used for
repeated short trips, and consumes a nor-
mal amount of oil, the dipstick may not
show any drop in the oil level at all, even
after 1000 km (600 miles) or more. This
is because the oil is gradually becoming
diluted with fuel or moisture, making it
appear that the oil level has not changed.
The diluting ingredients evaporate out
when the vehicle is then driven at high
speeds, as on an expressway, making it
appear that oil is excessively consumed
after driving at high speeds.
IMPORTANCE OF ENGINE OIL LEVEL
CHECK
One of the most important points in prop-
er vehicle maintenance is to keep the en-
gine oil at the optimum level so that oil
function will not be impaired. Therefore, it
is essential that the oil level be checked
regularly. Toyota recommends that the oil
level be checked every time you refuel
the vehicle.
NOTICE
Failure to check the oil level regularly
could lead to serious engine trouble
due to insufficient oil.
For detailed information on oil level check,
see “Checking the engine oil level” on
page 196 in Section 7−2.

Facts about engine oil
consumption

144STARTING AND DRIVING
TIRES
DEnsure that your vehicle’s tires are
properly inflated. See page 201 in Sec-
tion 7−2 and page 226 in Section 8 for
instructions.
DThe trailer tires should be inflated to
the pressure recommended by the trail-
er manufacturer in respect to the total
trailer weight.
TRAILER LIGHTS
DCheck for correct operation of the turn
signals and stop lights each time you
hitch up. Direct splicing may damage
your vehicle’s electrical system and
cause a malfunction of your lights.
BREAK−IN SCHEDULE
DToyota recommends that you do not
tow a trailer with a new vehicle or a
vehicle with any new power train com-
ponent (engine, transmission, differen-
tial, wheel bearing, etc.) for the first
800 km (500 miles) of driving.
MAINTENANCE
DIf you tow a trailer, your vehicle will
require more frequent maintenance due
to the additional load.
DRetighten all fixing bolts of the towing
ball and bracket after approximately
1000 km (600 miles) of trailer driving.
PRE−TOWING SAFETY CHECK
DBe sure not to exceed designated max-
imum load for the ball coupling of the
towing bracket. Please remember that
the ball coupling load will increase the
load on the vehicle. Maximum permissi-
ble rear axle capacity must not be ex-
ceeded.
DMake sure the trailer cargo is securely
loaded so that it cannot shift.
DIf the traffic behind the trailer cannot
be seen properly with the standard rear
view mirrors, additional outside mirrors
will be necessary. Both outside mirrors
must be fitted on folding arms and ad-
justed to give a good rear view at all
times.
TRAILER TOWING TIPS
Your vehicle will handle differently
when towing a trailer. In order to avoid
accident, death or serious injury, keep
the following in mind when towing:
DBefore starting out, check operation of
the lights and all vehicle−trailer connec-
tions. After driving a short distance,
stop and recheck the lights and con-
nections. Before actually towing a trail-
er, practice turning, stopping and back-
ing with a trailer in an area away from
traffic until you learn the feel.
DBecause stopping distance may be in-
creased, vehicle−to−vehicle distance
should be increased when towing a
trailer. For each 10 km/h (6 mph) of
speed, allow at least one vehicle and
trailer length between you and the ve-
hicle ahead. Avoid sudden braking as
you may skid, resulting in jackknifing
and loss of control. This is especially
true on wet or slippery surfaces.
DAvoid jerky starts or sudden accelera-
tion. Prevent excessive clutch slippage
by keeping engine rpm low and not
racing the engine. Always start out in
first gear.
DAvoid jerky steering and sharp turns.
The trailer could hit your vehicle in a
tight turn. Slow down before making a
turn to avoid the necessity of sudden
braking.
