MANUAL"/"DPF full Manual regeneration required See owner's manual"
is shown on the multi-information display
The deposit collected in the filter needs to be regenerated.
Vehicles without DPF system switch:
To regenerate the filter, the following driving methods are recommended
●
By driving continuously (for example, at around 65 km/h [40 mph] for 20 to
30 minutes).
●
By avoiding short trips, or by driving continuously (leaving the engine run-
ning for long periods of time).
When the outside temperature is approximately -15°C (5°F) or lower, 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. Depending on the situation, it may be necessary
to depress the accelerator pedal until the engine speed is increased to 3000
rpm.
The warning message will disappear when regeneration is completed. How-
ever, if this driving cannot be carried out, or if the message does not disap-
pear 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, refer to P. 301.
*
: When driving, pay sufficient attention to weather, road conditions, terrain
and traffic conditions, and drive according to traffic laws.
