If the malfunction indicator lamp comes on while driving
For some models, the malfunction indicator lamp will come on if the fuel tank
becomes completely empty. If the fuel tank is empty, refuel the vehicle
immediately. The malfunction indicator lamp will go off after several trips.
If the malfunction indicator lamp does not go off, contact any authorized
Toyota dealer or repairer, or another duly qualified and equipped
professional.
Key reminder buzzer
The buzzer indicates that the key has not been removed with the engine off
and the driver’s door opened.
If the DPF system warning light comes on
The deposit collected in the filter needs to be regenerated.
To regenerate the filter, the following driving methods are recommended
*:
By driving continuously (for example, at around 60 km/h [37 mph] for
approximately 20 minutes).
By avoiding short trips, or by driving continuously (leaving the engine
running for long periods of time).
The DPF warning light will extinguish when regeneration is complete. How-
ever, 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 professional imme-
diately.
For details of the DPF system. (P. 227)
*: When driving, pay sufficient attention to weather, road conditions, terrain
and traffic conditions, and drive according to traffic laws.

If both the ABS and the brake system warning lights remain on (vehi-
cles with VSC system)
Stop your vehicle in a safe place immediately and contact any authorized
Toyota dealer or repairer, or another duly qualified and equipped profes-
sional. The vehicle will become extremely unstable during braking, and the
ABS system may fail, which could cause an accident resulting in death or
serious injury.
NOTICE
If the malfunction indicator lamp comes on when the boost pressure in
the turbocharger is abnormally high
Never drive at high speed or race the engine even after the lamp goes off.
If the fuel system warning light flashes
Never drive the vehicle with the warning light flashing. Continued driving with
water accumulated in the fuel filter will damage the fuel injection pump.
