This chapter describes all stan-
dard, country-specific and
optional features offered with
the series. It also describes fea-
tures that are not necessarily
available in your vehicle, for
instance, due to the selected
options or country versions. This
also applies to safety-related
functions and systems. When
using these functions and sys-
tems, the applicable laws and
regulations must be observed.

Depending on the region, many
gas stations sell fuel that has
been customized to winter or
summer conditions. Fuel that is
available in winter,for instance
helps make a cold start easier.

For the best fuel consumption,
the gasoline should be sul-
fur-free or very low in sulfur con-
tent.
Fuels that are marked on the

gas pump as containing metal
must not be used.
Fuels with a maximum ethanol
content of 10 %, i.e. E10, may
be used for refueling.
To achieve nominal values for
mileage and consumption, fol-
low the specified fuel quality in
the sales literature.

Ethanol should meet the follow-
ing quality standards:
US: ASTM 4806–xx
CAN: CGSB-3.511–xx
xx: comply with the current valid
standard in each case.
The use of fuels of minimum
quality has no influence on the
service life of the engine.

WARNING

If drivability problems are encoun-

tered, we recommend switching

to a high quality gasoline brand

and a higher octane grade - AKI

number - for a few tank fills. To

avoid harmful engine deposits, it

is highly recommended to pur-

chase gasoline from Top Tier

retailers.

Failure to comply with these rec-

ommendations may result in the

need for unscheduled mainte-

nance.

NOTICE

Even small quantities of the

wrong fuel or wrong fuel additives

can damage the fuel system and

engine. Furthermore, the catalytic

converter is permanently dam-

aged. There is a risk of damage to

property. Do not refuel or add the

following in the case of gasoline

engines:

• Leaded gasoline.

• Metallic additives, for instance

manganese or iron.

Do not press the Start/Stop button

after refueling with the wrong fuel.

Contact your Toyota dealer.

NOTICE

Incorrect fuels can damage the

fuel system and the engine. There

is a risk of damage to property. Do

not use fuels with a higher per-

centage of ethanol than recom-

mended. Do not refuel with fuels

containing methanol, e.g. M5 to

M100.

NOTICE

Fuel that does not comply with the

minimum quality can compromise

engine function or cause engine

damage. There is a risk of dam-

age to property. Do not fill with

fuel that does not comply with the

minimum quality.

also applies to safety-related
functions and systems. When
using these functions and sys-
tems, the applicable laws and
regulations must be observed.

The engine oil consumption is
dependent on your driving style
and driving conditions.
Therefore, regularly check the
engine oil level after refueling by
taking a detailed measurement.
The engine oil consumption can
increase in the following situa-
tions, for example:
• Sporty driving style.
• Break-in of the engine.
• Idling of the engine.
• With use of engine oil types

that are classified as not suit-
able.

Different vehicle messages
appear on the Control Display
depending on the engine oil
level.

The electronic oil measurement
has two measuring principles:
• Monitoring.
• Detailed measurement.
When making frequent
short-distance trips or using a
sporty driving style, for instance
when taking curves aggres-
sively, regularly perform a
detailed measurement.

■

Concept

The engine oil level is monitored
electronically while driving and
can be shown on the Control
Display.
If the engine oil level is outside
its permissible operating range,
a vehicle message is displayed.

A current measured value is
available after approx. 30 min-
utes of normal driving.

mercially available additives are
suitable for the vehicle. The
vehicle manufacturer recom-
mends using coolant with the
BMW LC-18 specification. Do
not mix additives of different col-
ors. Observe the water - additive
mixture ratio of 50:50. Informa-
tion about suitable additives is
available from your Toyota
dealer.

Depending on the motorization,
there are up to two coolant res-
ervoirs in the engine compart-
ment. Check and top up the
coolant levels on a regular
basis.

The coolant may be overfilled in
the coolant reservoir when the
vehicle is delivered from the fac-
tory. The normal coolant level is
achieved by operating the vehi-
cle for a longer period.
The coolant level is indicated
using the maximum mark in the
filler neck of the coolant reser-
voir.
Additional information:
For an overview, refer to page
299.

Let the engine cool.

Open the hood, refer to page
300.

Turn the lid of the coolant
reservoir slightly counter-
clockwise to allow any
excess pressure to dissi-
pate, then open it.

Open the coolant reservoir
lid.

The coolant level is correct
when it is just below the max-
imum mark in the filler neck.

Safety information

WARNING

With the engine hot and the cool-

ing system open, coolant can

escape and lead to scalding.

There is a risk of injury. Only open

the cooling system with the

engine cooled down.

WARNING

Additives are harmful and incor-

rect additives can damage the

engine. There is a risk of injury
