11 0INFORMATION BEFORE DRIVING YOUR TOYOTA
If you plan to drive your Toyota in
another country...
First,comply with the vehicle registration
laws.
Second,confirm the availability of the cor-
rect fuel.The DPF (Diesel Particulate Filter) sys-
tem is designed to reduce the deposit
in diesel engine exhaust gases by trap-
ping the deposit in the filter. The sys-
tem performs automatic regeneration to
burn off the deposit trapped in the fil-
ter.
Regeneration
Regeneration is performed as necessary
in accordance with driving conditions.
System characteristics
The DPF system has the following charac-
teristics:
DIdle speed increases during regenera-
tion.
DThe smell of the exhaust gas differs
from that of a conventional diesel ve-
hicle.

DPF system indicator light
If the DPF system indicator light comes
on, the deposit built up in the filter needs
to be regenerated. To regenerate the filter,
the following driving methods are recom-
mended:
DDriving continuously (for example, driv-
ing at approximately 60 km/h [36 mph]
for approximately 20 minutes).
DAvoiding short trips, or by driving con-
tinuously (leaving the engine running
for long periods of time).
DPerform manual regeneration. (with the
DPF system manual regeneration
switch)
The DPF indicator light will extinguish
when regeneration is complete. However,
if this driving cannot be carried out, or if
the light does not extinguish even after
driving, have the vehicle inspected by any
authorized Toyota dealer or repairer, or
another duly qualified and equipped pro-
fessional immediately.
When driving, pay sufficient attention to
weather, road condition, terrain and traffic
conditions, and drive according to traffic
laws.If the DPF system indicator light flashes

,
perform the following operations:

: The deposit built up in the filter needs
to be regenerated.
Without the DPF system manual regen-
eration switch—Have the vehicle in-
spected by any authorized Toyota dealer
or repairer, or another duly qualified and
equipped professional immediately.
With the DPF system manual regenera-
tion switch—Perform manual regeneration
or have the vehicle inspected by any au-
thorized Toyota dealer or repairer, or
another duly qualified and equipped pro-
fessional immediately. If regeneration is
not performed and you continue to drive
for a while, the malfunction indicator light
will come on. When the malfunction indi-
cator comes on, manual regeneration can-
not be performed.
Under the following driving conditions, the
DPF system indicator light may come on
earlier than normal.

:
DWhen only driving at low speeds (for
example 20 km/h [12 mph] or below).
DIf the engine is turned on and off fre-
quently (for example, the engine is not
left running for more than 10 minutes
at a time).

: Differs in accordance with weather,
driving condition, etc.
For the manual regeneration procedure,
refer to the following instructions.
Dyna100/150_EE

11 2INFORMATION BEFORE DRIVING YOUR TOYOTA
Manual regeneration switch
With the DPF system manual regenera-
tion switch—
To start manual regeneration:
1. Stop the vehicle in a safe place with
the engine running.
Make sure that there are no flammable
materials near the exhaust pipe.
2. Shift the transmission into neutral
and apply the parking brake.
3. Push the manual regeneration
switch.
The DPF system indicator light and the
indicator light on the switch will change
from solid or rapid flashing to slow flash-
ing. The engine idle speed will increase.
In 15 to 40

minutes, manual regeneration
will be completed and the lights will go
off. The engine idle speed will be reduced.

: Differs in accordance with the outside
temperature.
Do not depress the accelerator or clutch
pedal after pressing the DPFsystem
manual regeneration switch. Doing so will
stop manual regeneration. If manual re-
generation is stopped, perform manual re-
generation again as soon as possible.
If the engine and exhaustsystem are hot,
such as after driving, manual regeneration
will take less time.
CAUTION
DBe careful not to touch the hot ex-
haust system and stay away from
exhaust gases. During regeneration,
the exhaust gases become hotter
than usual. Never leave flammable
items near the exhaust system.
DDo not drive, idle or park your ve-
hicle over anything that might burn
easily such as grass, leaves, paper
or rags.

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”.

CAUTION
DExhaust gases include harmful car-
bon monoxide (CO) that is colorless
and odorless. Inhaling exhaust
gases may lead to death or a seri-
ous health hazard.
DThe exhaust should be checked
occasionally. If there is a hole or
crack caused by corrosion, damage
to a joint or abnormal exhaust
noise, be sure to have the vehicle
inspected and repaired by any
authorized Toyota dealer or repairer,
or another duly qualified and
equipped professional. Failure to do
so may allow exhaust gases to
enter the vehicle, resulting in death
or a serious health hazard.
DIf the vehicle is in a poorly venti-
lated area, turn the engine off. In a
closed area, such as a garage, ex-
haust gases may collect and enter
the vehicle. This may lead to death
or a serious health hazard.
DDo not remain for a long time in a
parked vehicle with the engine run-
ning. If it is unavoidable, however,
do so only in an unconfined area
and adjust the heating or cooling
system to force outside air into the
vehicle.
DIf the smell of exhaust is noticed
inside the vehicle, open the win-
dows. Large amounts of exhaust in
the vehicle can cause driver drowsi-
ness and an accident, resulting in
death or a serious health hazard.
Have the vehicle inspected by any
authorized Toyota dealer or repairer,
or another duly qualified and
equipped professional immediately.
DDo not leave the engine running in
an area with snow build−up, or
where it is snowing. If snowbanks
build up around the vehicle while
the engine is running, exhaust
gases may collect and enter the ve-
hicle. This may lead to death or a
serious health hazard.
DWhen taking a nap in the vehicle,
always turn the engine off. Other-
wise, you may accidentally move
the shift lever or depress the accel-
erator pedal, which could cause an
accident or fire due to engine over-
heating. Additionally, if the vehicle
is parked in a poorly ventilated
area, exhaust gases may collect and
enter the vehicle, leading to death
or a serious health hazard.
DToyota does not recommend occu-
pying the rear cargo area when it
is fitted with a slide−in camper,
camper shell or other type cover
while the engine is running. This
caution applies to both driving and
stopped or parked situations with
the engine running. Particular care
should be taken to prevent exhaust
gases from entering camper bodies,
trailers or other enclosures on or
around your vehicle. If exhaust
fumes are detected, open all win-
dows and thoroughly ventilate the
area.
