2016 TOYOTA PROACE VERSO Roof load

12
Limit the causes of excess
consumption
Spread loads throughout the vehicle; place the heaviest items in the bottom of the boot, as close as possible to the rear seats.Limit the loads carried in the vehicle and reduce wind resistance (roof bars, roof rack, bicycle carrier, trailer...). Use a roof box in preference.Remove roof bars and roof racks after use.
At the end of winter, remove snow tyres and refit your summer tyres.
Observe the recommendations
on maintenance
Check the tyre pressures regularly, when cold, referring to the label in the door aperture, driver's side.Carry out this check in particular:- before a long journey,- at each change of season,- after a long period out of use.Don't forget the spare wheel and the tyres on any trailer or caravan.
Have your vehicle serviced regularly (engine oil, oil filter, air filter, passenger compartment filter...) and observe the schedule of operations recommended in the manufacturer's service schedule.
With a Diesel engine, if the SCR system is faulty your vehicle becomes polluting; go to an authorized Toyota dealer or repairer, or another duly qualified and equipped professional without delay to have the emissions of nitrogen oxides brought back to the legal level.
When refuelling, do not continue after the third cut-off of the nozzle to avoid any over flow.
At the wheel of your new vehicle, it is only after the first 1 800 miles (3 000 kilometres) that you will see the fuel consumption settle down to a consistent average.

To assure the durability of your vehicle and your safety, remember that certain precautions, described hereafter, should be taken when driving your vehicle:
Load the vehicle correctly
With a load carried, the vehicle must remain within the maximum authorised weight, the Gross Vehicle Weight.To avoid upsetting the balance of the vehicle, the load should be centred and the heaviest part placed on the floor in front of the rear wheels.
Manoeuve cautiously, at
low speed
The dimensions of your vehicle differ from those of a light vehicle, in width, in height, as well as in length, and some obstacles will be more difficult to notice.Manoeuvre slowly.Before turning, check that there are no obstacles at mid-height along the sides.Before reversing, check that there are no obstacles, particularly at high level behind the vehicle.Be aware of the external dimensions, if ladders are fitted.
It is inadvisable to place heavy loads on a roof rack.Loading the roof rack also requires you not to exceed the maximum load on the roof rack anchorages. Observe the maximum authorised weight, available from Toyota dealers.Loads must be securely lashed down.Cargo that is not properly secured inside the vehicle can adversely affect the handling of the vehicle and create the risk of accident.If your vehicle is fitted with a drop-side back, the height and width of the load must remain within the overall dimensions of the vehicle.
Drive the vehicle in a
prudent and efficient way
Take corners gently.Anticipate the need to brake as the stopping distance is increased, particularly on wet or icy roads.Be aware of the effect of side winds on the vehicle.Effective eco-driving saves fuel; accelerate progressively, anticipate the need to slow down and adapt your speed to suit the situation.Indicate changes of direction well in advance
so that you are seen by other road users.
Take care
The tyres must be inflated to at least the pressures indicated on the label, even over-inflated by 0.2 to 0.3 bar for long journeys.After ensuring that no obstacle might prevent closing, guide the movement of the door at the right speed until it closes.

The Autonomous emergency braking system does not operate:- if the front bumper is damaged,- if the system has been triggered in the last 10 seconds,- if the electronic stability control system has a fault.
Limits of operation
It is recommended that the system be deactivated in the vehicle configuration menu in the following cases:- if the windscreen has impact damage close to the detection camera,- when towing a trailer or caravan,- when a load on the roof rack extends beyond the windscreen (for example: long objects),- when the vehicle is being towed, with the engine running,- when a "space-saver" type spare wheel is fitted (if your vehicle has one),- when on a rolling road for a service in a workshop,- when in an automatic car wash,- if the brake lamps are not working.
Following an impact, the system is automatically disabled; contact an authorized Toyota dealer or repairer, or another duly qualified and equipped professional to have the system checked.
Forward collision warning
Depending on the degree of risk of collision detected by the system and the alert threshold chosen, different levels of alert can be triggered and displayed in the instrument panel or the head-up display.
This level of alert is based on the inter-vehicle time between your vehicle and the vehicle ahead.
Level 1: visual alert only, warning you that the vehicle ahead is very close.A message on your vigilance is displayed as you close on the vehicle ahead.
This information also appears in the head-up display.For more information on the Head-up display, refer to the corresponding section.
