This mode, when moving off, allows considerable spin on the wheel with the least grip to optimise clearing of the mud and regain grip. At the same time, the wheel with the most grip is controlled in such a way as to transmit
as much torque as possible.When moving, the system optimises wheel spin to respond to the driver's requirements as fully as possible.(mode active up to 50 mph (80 km/h))
F Place the knob in this position.
This mode allows little spin on the two driving wheels at the same time to allow the vehicle to move for ward and limit the risks of getting stuck in the sand.(mode active up to 75 mph (120 km/h))
F Place the knob in this position.
Do not use the other modes on sand as the vehicle may become stuck.
You can deactivate certain functions of the ESC (ASR and DSC) by turning the knob to the "OFF" position.These functions are reactivated automatically from 30 mph (50 km/h) or every time the ignition is switched back on.

Driving advice
Your vehicle is designed principally to drive on tarmac roads but it allows you to drive on other less passable terrain occasionally.However, it does not permit off-road driving such as:- crossing and driving on terrain which could damage the underbody or strip away components (fuel pipe, fuel cooler...) due to obstacles or stones in particular,- driving on terrain with steep gradients and poor grip,- crossing a stream.

Advice
In the event of an impact
Depending on the nature and seriousness of the impact, the pretensioning device may be deployed before and independently of the airbags. Deployment of the pretensioners is accompanied by a slight discharge of harmless smoke and a noise, due to the activation of the pyrotechnic cartridge incorporated in the system.In all cases, the airbag warning lamp comes on.Following an impact, have the seat belts system checked, and if necessary replaced, by an authorized Toyota dealer or repairer,
or another duly qualified and equipped professional.
In order to be effective, a seat belt must:- be tightened as close to the body as possible,- be pulled in front of you with a smooth movement, checking that it does not twist,- be used to restrain only one person,- not bear any trace of cuts or fraying,- not be converted or modified to avoid affecting its performance.In accordance with current safety regulations, for all repairs on your vehicle's seat belts, go to a qualified workshop with the skills and equipment needed, which a Toyota dealer is able to provide.Have your seat belts checked regularly by an authorized Toyota dealer or repairer, or another duly qualified and equipped professional, particularly if the straps show signs of damage.
Clean the seat belt straps with soapy water or a textile cleaning product, sold by Toyota dealers.After folding or moving a seat or rear bench seat, ensure that the seat belt is positioned and reeled in correctly.
Recommendations for children
Use a suitable child seat if the passenger is less than 12 years old or shorter than one and a half metres.Never use the same seat belt to secure more than one person.Never allow a child to travel on your lap.For more information on Child seats, refer to the corresponding section.
The driver must ensure that passengers use the seat belts correctly and that they are all fastened before setting off.Wherever you are seated in the vehicle, always fasten your seat belt, even for short journeys.Do not interchange the seat belt buckles as they will not fulfill their role fully.The seat belts are fitted with an inertia reel permitting automatic adjustment of the length of the strap to your size. The seat belt is stowed automatically when not in use.Before and after use, ensure that the seat belt is reeled in correctly.The lower part of the strap must be positioned as low as possible on the pelvis.The upper part must be positioned in the hollow of the shoulder.The inertia reels are fitted with an automatic locking device which comes into operation in
the event of a collision, emergency braking or if the vehicle rolls over. You can release the device by pulling the strap firmly and then releasing it so that it reels in slightly.

Deactivating the passenger front airbag
Only the passenger front airbag can be deactivated.
When the ignition is on, this warning lamp comes in the seat belt warning display screen. It stays on while the airbag is deactivated.
To assure the safety of your child, the passenger front airbag must be deactivated when you install a rear ward facing child seat on the front passenger seat.Otherwise, the child would risk being seriously injured or killed if the airbag were deployed.
Reactivating the passenger front airbag
When you remove the child seat, with the ignition off, turn the switch to the "ON" position to reactivate the airbag and so assure the safety of your front passenger(s) in the event of an impact.
When the ignition is switched on, this warning lamp comes on in the seat belt warning display screen for approximately one minute to signal that the front airbag is activated.
Operating fault
If this warning lamp comes on in the instrument panel, you must contact an authorized Toyota dealer or repairer, or another duly qualified and equipped professional to have the system checked. The airbags may no longer be deployed in the event of a serious impact.
Lateral airbags
Deployment
The lateral airbags are deployed unilaterally in the event of a serious side impact applied to all or part of the side impact zone, perpendicular to the longitudinal centreline of the vehicle on a horizontal plane and directed from the outside towards the inside of the vehicle.
The lateral airbag inflates between the abdomen and head of the front occupant of the vehicle and the corresponding door trim panel.
If fitted to your vehicle, this is a system which protects the driver and front passenger in the event of a serious side impact in order to limit the risk of injury to the chest, between the abdomen and head.Each lateral airbag is fitted in the seat backrest frame, door side.F With the ignition off, insert the key in the passenger airbag deactivation switch.F Turn it to the "OFF" position.F Remove the key keeping the switch in the new position.
