Maintenance and care
HILUX_OM_OM0K219E_(EE)
CAUTION
■When inspecting or replacing tires
Observe the following precautions to prevent accidents.
Failure to do so may cause damage to parts of the drive train as well as
dangerous handling characteristics, which may lead to an accident resulting
in death or serious injury.
● Do not mix tires of different makes, models or tread patterns.
Also, do not mix tires of remarkably different treadwear.
● Do not use tire sizes other than those recommended by Toyota.
● Do not mix differently constructed tires (radial, bias-belted or bias-ply
tires).
● Do not mix summer, all season and snow tires.
● Do not use tires that have been used on another vehicle.
Do not use tires if you do not know how they were used previously.
NOTICE
■Driving on rough roads
Take particular care when driving on roads with loose surfaces or potholes.
These conditions may cause losses in tire inflation pressure, reducing the
cushioning ability of the tires. In addition, driving on rough roads may cause
damage to the tires themselves, as well as the vehicle’s wheels and body.
■
If tire inflation pressure of each tire becomes low while driving
Do not continue driving, or your tires and/or wheels may be ruined.

■While towing
If the engine is not running, the power assist for the brakes and steering will
not function, making steering and braking more difficult.
CAUTION
Observe the following precautions.
Failure to do so may result in death or serious injury.
■
When towing the vehicle
■
While towing
● When towing using cables or chains, avoid sudden starts, etc. which place
excessive stress on the towing eyelets, cables or chains. The towing eye-
lets, cables or chains may become damaged, broken debris may hit peo-
ple and cause serious damage.
● Do not turn the engine switch to the “LOCK” position.
There is a possibility that the steering wheel is locked and cannot be oper-
ated.
Pre Runner (2WD models): Be sure to
transport the vehicle with all four wheels
raised off the ground. If the vehicle is
towed with the tires contacting the
ground, the drivetrain and related parts
may be damaged or an accident may
occur due to a change in direction of the
vehicle.
4WD models: Be sure to transport the
vehicle with all four wheels raised off the
ground. If the vehicle is towed with the
tires contacting the ground, the drivetrain
and related parts may be damaged, and
the vehicle may fly off the truck.

■If the malfunction indicator lamp comes on while driving
For some models, malfunction indicator lamp will come on if the fuel tank
becomes completely empty. If the fuel tank is empty, refuel the vehicle imme-
diately. 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
as soon as possible.
■ 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 lig ht comes on (if equipped)
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 driv ing continuously (leaving the engine run-
ning for long periods of time).
The DPF system warning light will extinguish when regeneration is complete.
However, if this driving cannot be carried out, or if the light does not extin-
guish 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. 238)
*: When driving, pay sufficient attention to weather, road conditions, terrain
and traffic conditions, and drive according to traffic laws.
