Electronic stability control (ESC) incorporating the following systems:- anti-lock braking system (ABS) and electronic brake force distribution (EBFD),- emergency braking assistance (EBA),- wheel anti-slip regulation (ASR) or traction control,- dynamic stability control (DSC).
Electronic stability control (ESC)
Definitions
Anti-lock braking system (ABS) and electronic brake force distribution (EBFD)
This system improves the stability and manoeuvrability of your vehicle when braking and contributes towards improved control on corners, in particular on poor or slippery road surfaces.The ABS prevents wheel lock in the event of emergency braking.The EBFD manages the braking pressure wheel by wheel.
Emergency braking assistance (EBA) / Brake assist
In an emergency, this system enables you to reach the optimum braking pressure more quickly and therefore reduce the stopping distance.It is triggered according to the speed at which the brake pedal is pressed. This is felt by a reduction in the resistance of the pedal and an increase in the effectiveness of the braking.
Anti-slip regulation (ASR) / Traction Control (TRC)
The ASR system (also known as Traction Control) optimises traction in order to limit wheel slip by acting on the brakes of the driving wheels and on the engine. It also improves the directional stability of the vehicle on acceleration.
Dynamic stability control (DSC) / Vehicle Stability Control (VSC)
If there is a difference between the path followed by the vehicle and that required by the driver, the DSC monitors each wheel and automatically acts on the brake of one or more
wheels and on the engine to return the vehicle to the required path, within the limits of the laws of physics.

Dynamic stability control (DSC) and anti-slip regulation (ASR)
Activation
These systems are activated automatically each time the vehicle is started.As soon as they detect a problem of grip or trajectory, these systems act on the operation of the engine and brakes.
This is indicated by flashing of this warning lamp in the instrument panel.
Deactivation
In exceptional conditions (starting a vehicle which is bogged down, stuck in snow, on soft ground...), it may be advisable to deactivate the DSC system, so that the wheels can move freely and regain grip.But it is recommended that the system be reactivated as soon as possible.
Operating fault
Reactivation
F Press this button.
F Turn the knob to this position.
Or
The indicator lamp in the button or the knob
comes on: the DSC system no longer acts on the operation of the engine.
The system is reactivated automatically each time the ignition is switched back on or from 30 mph (50 km/h).However, below 30 mph (50 km/h) you can manually reactivate the system.
F Press this button.
Or
F Turn the knob to this position.
The indicator lamp in the button or the knob goes off.
The DSC system offers exceptional safety in normal driving, but this should not encourage the driver to take extra risks or drive at high speed.The correct operation of the system depends on observation of the manufacturer's recommendations regarding the wheels (tyres and rims), the braking components, the electronic components and the Toyota assembly and repair procedures.After an impact, have the system checked by an authorized Toyota dealer or repairer, or another duly qualified and equipped professional.
If this warning lamp comes on, accompanied by an audible signal and a message in the screen, this indicates a fault with the system.Contact an authorized Toyota dealer or repairer, or another duly qualified and equipped professional to have the system checked.

When towing
Distribution of loads
F Distribute the load in the trailer so that the heaviest items are as close as possible to the axle and the nose weight approaches the maximum permitted without exceeding it.Air density decreases with altitude, thus reducing engine performance. Above 1 000 metres, the maximum towed load must be reduced by 10 % for every 1 000 metres of altitude.
Side wind
F Take into account the increased sensitivity to side wind.
Cooling
Towing a trailer on a slope increases the temperature of the coolant.As the fan is electrically controlled, its cooling capacity is not dependent on the engine speed.F To lower the engine speed, reduce your speed.The maximum towed load on a long incline depends on the gradient and the ambient temperature.In all cases, keep a check on the coolant temperature.
F If the warning lamp and the STOP warning lamp come on, stop the vehicle and switch off the engine as soon as possible.
Braking
Towing a trailer increases the braking distance.To avoid overheating of the brakes, the use of engine braking is recommended.
Ty r e s
F Check the tyre pressures of the towing vehicle and of the trailer, observing the recommended pressures.
Lighting
F Check the electrical lighting and signalling on the trailer and the headlamp beam height of your vehicle.
For more information on Weights, refer to the corresponding section.
The rear parking sensors will be deactivated automatically to avoid the audible signal if a genuine Toyota towbar is used.
If the ambient temperature is high, it is recommended that the engine be allowed to idle for 1 to 2 minutes after the vehicle comes to a stop, to facilitate its cooling.
For more information on Adjusting the headlamp beam height, refer to the corresponding section.

When you move the gear selector or press the M button, the corresponding symbol appears in the instrument panel.P. ParkR. ReverseN. NeutralD. Drive (automatic operation)M. Manual operation1 to 6. Gear engaged- Invalid value
Displays in the instrument panel
F With your foot on the brake, select position P.When the engine is running at idle, with the brakes released, if position R, D or M is selected, the vehicle moves even without the accelerator being pressed.Never leave children in the vehicle without supervision.As a safety measure, never leave the vehicle without taking your key or remote control with you, even for a short time.When carrying out maintenance with the engine running, apply the parking brake and select position P.
If you have to move off on a steep slope with a loaded vehicle, press the brake pedal, select position D, then release the parking brake.
F Start the engine.If the conditions are not met, there is an audible signal, accompanied by a message in the instrument panel screen.F Release the parking brake.F Select position R, N or D.
F Gradually release the brake pedal.The vehicle moves off.
F If the message "Foot on brake" is displayed in the instrument panel, press the brake pedal f i r m l y.
Moving off
If P is displayed in the instrument panel but the selector is in another position, place the selector in position P to allow the engine to be started.If position N is engaged inadvertently while driving, allow the engine to return to idle then engage position D to accelerate.

In manual mode it is not necessary to release the accelerator pedal when changing gear.F With the selector in position D, press button M for sequential changing of the six gears.
M appears and the gears engaged appear in succession in the instrument panel.
F It is possible to return to automatic operation at any time by pressing button M again.
It is only possible to change from one gear to another if the vehicle speed and engine speed permit.
Manual operation
If the engine speed is too low or too high, the gear selected flashes for a few seconds, then the actual gear engaged is displayed.When the vehicle is stationary or moving very slowly, the gearbox selects gear M1 automatically.
To save the brakes when descending a steep incline, use engine braking to reduce your speed (take your foot off the accelerator pedal or change down).Keeping the brake pedal pressed continuously for long periods can overheat the brakes, with the risk of damaging the braking system or making it inoperative.
Only use the brakes when necessary, to slow or stop the vehicle.
The indicator associated with the button comes on.
F Operate the "+" or "-" steering mounted control paddle.
The indicator associated with the button goes of f.
Depending on the configuration of the road (for example: mountain pass), it may be preferable to use manual operation.This is because automatic operation may not be best suited, not allowing the use of engine braking.
Invalid value during manual operation
This symbol is displayed if a gear is not engaged correctly (gear selector between two positions).
F Place the selector "correctly" at a position.

Forward collision warning and Autonomous
emergency braking system with Pedestrian
Detection
Conditions for operation
The Autonomous emergency braking system operates:- between 3 and 87 mph (5 and 140 km/h), in the case of a moving vehicle,- at a speed below 50 mph (80 km/h), in the case of a stationary vehicle,- at a speed below 36 mph (60 km/h), in the case of a pedestrian,- if the passenger seat belts are fastened,- if the vehicle is not accelerating sharply,- if the vehicle is not in a tight corner.
The Forward collision warning system allows the driver to be warned that their vehicle is at risk of collision with the vehicle in front or a pedestrian in their traffic lane.The Autonomous emergency braking system inter venes following the aler t if the driver does not react quickly enough and does not operate the vehicle's brakes.If the driver fails to act, it contributes towards avoiding a collision or limiting its severity by reducing the speed of your vehicle.
These systems use a radar located in the front bumper and a camera at the top of the windscreen.
These system are designed to improve road safety.It is the driver's responsibility to continuously monitor the state of the traffic, observing the driving regulations.These systems do not replace the need for vigilance on the part of the driver.
The Forward collision warning system only operates:- with a registered vehicle pointing in the same direction as the traffic, moving or stationary,- with pedestrians.- from 4 mph (7 km/h) (and is deactivated at 3 mph (5 km/h)).
