Gear efficiency indicator
Depending on the driving situation and your vehicle's equipment, the system may advise you to skip one or more gears.You can follow this instruction without going through the intermediate gears.
- You press the accelerator pedal.
- You are in third gear.
- The system may suggest that you engage a higher gear.
The information appears in the instrument panel in the form of an arrow.On vehicles with manual gearbox, the arrow may be accompanied by the recommended g e a r.
The system adapts its gear change recommendation according to the driving conditions (gradient, load, ...) and the demands of the driver (power, acceleration, braking, ...).The system never suggests:
- engaging first gear,- engaging reverse gear.
System which reduces fuel consumption by recommending the most suitable gear.
Example:
On certain Diesel versions with manual gearbox, the system may suggest changing into neutral (N is displayed in the instrument panel) so that the engine can go into standby (STOP mode with Stop & Start), in certain driving conditions.
This function cannot be deactivated.
The gear engagement recommendations must not be considered compulsory.This is because the configuration of
the road, traffic density and safety remain impor tant factors in the choice of the best gear.The gear efficiency indicator system does not replace the need for vigilance on the part of the driver.

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.

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 off.
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.

Automatic operation
F After starting the engine, select position A for automatic gear changes
The gearbox operates in auto-active mode, without any action on the part of the driver. It continuously selects the most suitable gear for:- the style of driving,- the profile of the road.
AUTO and the gear engaged are displayed in the instrument panel.
For optimum acceleration, for example when overtaking another
vehicle, press the accelerator pedal firmly past the point of resistance.

Temporary manual control of gear changes
You can temporarily take control of gear changes using the "+" and "-" steering mounted control paddles. The gear change instruction is acted on if the engine speed permits.This function allows you to anticipate certain situations, such as overtaking another vehicle or approaching a bend in the road.Following a few moments with no action on the control paddles, the gearbox returns to automatic operation.
Manual operation
AUTO disappears and the gears engaged are displayed successively
in the instrument panel.
F After starting the engine, select position M for sequential gear changing
The change from one gear to another takes place only if the conditions of vehicles speed and engine speed
permit; if not, the automatic operation laws are applied temporarily.
F Operate the "+" or "-" steering mounted control paddle.
It is not necessary to release the accelerator during gear changes.When braking or slowing down, the gearbox changes down automatically to allow the vehicle to accelerate in the correct gear.
On sharp acceleration, the gearbox will not change up unless the driver acts on the steering mounted paddles.Never select neutral N when drivingOnly engage reverse R with the vehicle stationary and your foot on the brake.

Operating fault
Depending on your vehicle's equipment:
Have it checked by an authorized Toyota dealer or repairer, or another duly qualified and equipped professional.In the event of a fault in STOP mode, the vehicle may stall.All of the instrument panel warning lamps come on.Depending on version, an alert message may also be displayed, asking you to place the gear lever in position N and put your foot on the brake pedal.With the vehicle stationary, you must switch off the ignition and then start the engine again.
The Stop & Start system requires a 12 V battery with a special specification and technology.
The warning lamp in this button flashes and a message appears,
accompanied by an audible signal.
In the event of a fault with the system, this warning lamp flashes in the instrument panel.All work on this type of battery must be done by an authorized Toyota dealer or repairer, or another duly qualified and equipped professional.For more information on the 12 V batter y, refer to the corresponding section.

In certain extreme weather conditions (rain and/or snow, bright sunshine, ...) the head-up display may not be legible or may suffer temporary interference.Some sunglasses may hamper reading of the information.To clean the blade, use a clean, soft cloth (such as a spectacles cloth or microfibre cloth). Do not use a dry or abrasive cloth or detergent or solvent products as these could scratch the blade or damage the non-reflective coating.
We recommend that adjustments are made using these buttons only when the vehicle is stationary.When stationary or while driving, no objects should be placed around the blade (or in its recess) so as to not impede deployment of the blade and its correct operation.
This system operates when the engine is running and the settings are stored when the ignition is switched off.
F With the engine running, adjust the display to the desired height using buttons 4:- up to move the display up,- down to move the display down.
