2007–2014 Toyota FJ Cruiser FAQ

When is scheduled maintenance due?

2008–2014

Scheduled maintenance must be performed at specified intervals according to the maintenance schedule, but the interval values are not included here.

Page 400 in the 2014 manual →

When do the daytime running lights turn on?

2008–2014

The daytime running lights turn on automatically at reduced intensity when the engine starts and the parking brake is released; they are not designed for nighttime use.

How do I turn on and off the high beams?

With the headlights on, push the lever forward for high beams, then pull it back to center to turn them off.

What should I do if the door-lock buzzer sounds?

If the door or glass hatch is not fully closed, close it fully and lock the vehicle again to stop the 10-second buzzer.

When should I inspect or replace the cabin air filter?

2008–2014

Follow the maintenance schedule for air conditioning filter inspections and replacement; dusty or heavily trafficked areas may call for doing this sooner.

A dramatic drop in vent airflow means you should check the filter and replace it when needed.

What should I do if my automatic transmission fluid needs replacement?

2008–2014

If automatic transmission fluid replacement is necessary, have a Toyota dealer handle it because the listed capacity is only a reference quantity.

Use Toyota Genuine ATF WS only; another fluid may worsen shifting, cause vibration-related lockup, and ultimately damage the transmission.

Page 518 in the 2014 manual →

2007

Use only Toyota Genuine ATF WS, also identified as ATF JWS3324 or NWS9638, when changing the automatic transmission fluid.

Using another fluid may worsen shifting, cause vibration from transmission lockup, and eventually damage the automatic transmission.

What should I do if the automatic transmission temperature warning light comes on?

2008–2014

  1. On automatic-transmission vehicles, the light means the transmission fluid temperature is too high.
  2. Stop in a safe place, shift to P, and wait for the light to go off.
  3. If it goes off, you may restart; if it does not, contact your Toyota dealer.
Page 477 in the 2014 manual →

2007

  1. On four-wheel-drive models, this light means the automatic transmission fluid temperature is too high.
  2. Slow down, pull off the road, stop safely, and shift the selector lever to "P".
  3. Leave the engine idling and wait for the light to go off.
  4. If the light goes off, you may restart driving; if it stays on, call a Toyota dealer or qualified repair shop.
  5. Continuing to drive with the warning light on may damage the automatic transmission.

What should I do if I notice unusual noise, smell, or vibration?

2007

Investigate the cause or have a Toyota dealer or qualified service shop inspect it immediately, and report the problem for their advice.

How do I use the emergency flashers?

2007

Push the emergency-flasher switch to turn on all turn signals, and push it again to turn them off; use them if stopped where you may be a traffic hazard and pull as far off the road as possible.

The turn signal switch will not work while the emergency flashers are operating.

Why can my vehicle fail an emissions inspection when the indicator lamp is off?

2007

The vehicle may fail an I/M test if readiness codes are not set; a disconnected or run-down battery erases them, and driving habits may leave them incomplete.

If it fails with the indicator lamp off, contact your Toyota dealer to prepare the vehicle for retesting.
