gear when using downhill assist control system may cause the engine to
stall, which may lose the brake effectiveness and lock the tires, resulting in
an accident.
O Vehicles with manual transmission: On a steep slope, use the engine brak-
ing efficiently. If the vehicle is driven in N or with the clutch pedal
depressed on a steep slope, the load on the brake increases and con-
trolling the vehicle speed may be impossible, resulting in an accident.
Q The system may not operate on the following surfaces, which may lead
to an accident causing death or serious injury
O Slippery surfaces such as wet or muddy roads
O Icy surface
OUnpaved roads

DPF system failure warning
O If the DPF system warning message “DPF full See owner’s manual”
appears on the multi-information display, follow the procedure
below to regenerate.
When regenerating the filter during driving the vehicle
To regenerate the filter, the following driving methods are recom-
mended.*1
• By driving continuously (for example, at around 60 km/h [37 mph]
for 20 to 30 minutes).
• By avoiding short trips, or by driving continuously
(leaving the
engine running for long periods of time).
Check the engine is warmed up before driving the vehicle to regenerate
the filter. If the engine is cold, warm up the engine by driving the vehicle
downshifting to increase the engine speed.*2
4
The warning message will disappear on the multi-information display when
regeneration is complete. However, depending on the driving condition
such as heavy traffic, the amount of accumulated deposit increases and
the warning message may not disappear on the multi-information display.
If the warning message does not disappear on the multi-information dis-
play after driving, press the DPF system switch to manually regenerate the
filter.
Regeneration during driving cannot be performed when the vehicle is
higher than 4000 m (13124 ft.) above sea level.
*1: When driving, pay sufficient attention to weather, road conditions, ter-
rain and traffic conditions, and drive according to traffic laws.
*2: Depending on the situation, it may be necessary to downshift until the
engine speed is increased to 3000 rpm. If the engine coolant tempera-
ture or exhaust gas temperature is low, it may take a long time to
regenerate, or regeneration may be impossible.

than 4000 m (13123 ft.) above sea level.
*1: Depending on the situation, it may be necessary to depress the acceler-
ator pedal until the engine speed is increased to 3000 rpm. If the engine
coolant temperature or exhaust gas temperature is low, it may take a
long time to regenerate, or regeneration may be impossible.
*2: Time required for regeneration differs in accordance with the outside
temperature. Also, if the engine speed is still approximately 2000 rpm
10 minutes after pressing the DPF system switch, the exhaust gas tem-
perature may be low. In this case, depress the accelerator pedal to run
the engine at approximately 3000 rpm for a while.
When depressing the accelerator pedal, regeneration will be stopped. In
this case, restart regeneration.

Winter driving tips
Carry out the necessary preparations and inspections before
driving the vehicle in winter. Always drive the vehicle in a man-
ner appropriate to the prevailing weather conditions.
Preparation for winter
O Use fluids that are appropriate to the prevailing outside tempera-
tures.
• Engine oil
• Engine coolant
• Washer fluid
O Have a service technician inspect the condition of the battery.
O Have the vehicle fitted with four snow tires or purchase a set of tire
chains for the rear tires.
Ensure that all tires are the same size and brand, and that chains match
the size of the tires.
Before driving the vehicle

375
When driving the vehicle
Accelerate the vehicle slowly, keep a safe distance between you and
the vehicle ahead, and drive at a reduced speed suitable to road con-
ditions.
When parking the vehicle (in the winter time or in the cold lati-
tudes)
O Park the vehicle and move the shift lever to P (automatic transmis-
sion) or 1 or R (manual transmission) without setting the parking
brake. The parking brake may freeze up, preventing it from being
released. If the vehicle is parked without setting the parking brake,
make sure to block the wheels.
Failure to do so may be dangerous because it may cause the vehi-
cle to move unexpectedly, possibly leading to an accident.
4
O Vehicles with automatic transmission: If the vehicle is parked with-
out setting the parking brake, confirm that the shift lever cannot be
moved out of P*.
*: The shift lever will be locked if it is attempted to be shifted from P to any
other position without depressing the brake pedal. If the shift lever can be
shifted from P, there may be a problem with the shift lock system. Have the
vehicle inspected by any authorized Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized
repairer, or any reliable repairer.

Q MP3, WMA and AAC files
MP3 (MPEG Audio LAYER3) is a standard audio compression format.
Files can be compressed to approximately 1/10 of their original size by using
MP3 compression.
WMA (Windows Media Audio) is a Microsoft audio compression format.
This format compresses audio data to a size smaller than that of the MP3 for-
mat.
AAC is short for Advanced Audio Coding and refers to an audio compression
technology standard used with MPEG2 and MPEG4.
There is a limit to the MP3, WMA and AAC file standards and to the media/
formats recorded by them that can be used.
