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.

The presence in the recognition zone of the remote control of the "Smart Entry & Start System" system is essential.Never leave the vehicle with the engine running and with the remote control on your person.If the remote control leaves the recognition zone, a message is displayed.
Move the remote control into the zone to be able to start the engine.
If one of the starting conditions is not met, a message appears in the instrument panel screen. In some circumstances, it is necessary to turn the steering wheel slightly while pressing the "START/STOP" button
to assist unlocking of the steering; a message warns you when this is needed.
If the vehicle is not immobilised, the engine will not stop.
Switching off
F Immobilise the vehicle.
F With the remote control in the recognition zone, press the "START/STOP" button.
The engine stops and the steering column is locked.
Ignition on
(without starting)
With the ignition on, the system automatically goes into energy economy mode to maintain an adequate state of charge in the battery.
With the Smart Entry & Start System remote control inside the vehicle, pressing the "START/STOP" button, with no action on the pedals, allows the ignition to be switched on.This also allows the accessories to be used (for example: audio system, lighting...).
F Press the "START/STOP" button, the instrument panel comes on but the engine does not start.
F Press the button again to switch off the ignition and allow the vehicle to be locked.
To avoid any risk of jamming of the pedals:- only use mats which are suited to the fixings already present in the vehicle; these fixings must be used,- never fit one mat on top of another.The use of mats not approved by Toyota may inter fere with access to the pedals and hinder the operation of the cruise control / speed limiter.The mats approved by Toyota have two fixings located below the seat.

Stop & StartGoing into engine
STOP mode
If your vehicle has a manual gearbox, its speed must be below 12 mph (20 km/h) or stationary (depending on engine); the "ECO" indicator lamp comes on in the instrument panel and the engine goes into standby automatically when you place the gear lever in
neutral and you release the clutch pedal.
For your comfort, during parking manoeuvres, STOP mode is not available for a few seconds after coming out of reverse gear.Stop & Start does not affect the functionality of the vehicle, such as for example, braking, power steering...A slight delay between the vehicle stopping and the engine cutting out may be noticed.
If your vehicle is fitted with Stop & Start, a time counter calculates the time spent in
STOP mode during a journey.It resets to zero every time the ignition is switched on.
Stop & Start time counter
The Stop & Start system puts the engine temporarily into standby - STOP mode - during stops in the traffic (red lights, traffic jams, or other...). The engine restarts automatically - START mode - as soon as you want to move off. The restart takes place instantly, quickly and silently.Per fect for urban use, the Stop & Start system reduces fuel consumption and exhaust emissions as well as the noise level when stationary.
If your vehicle has an automatic gearbox and the vehicle is stationary, the "ECO" indicator lamp comes on and the engine goes into standby automatically when you press the brake pedal or place the gear selector in position N.
If your vehicle has an electronic gearbox and the vehicle's speed is below 5 mph (8 km/h), the "ECO" indicator lamp comes on and the engine goes into standby automatically when you press the brake pedal or place the gear selector in position N.
(minutes / seconds or hours / minutes)
Never refuel with the engine in STOP mode; you must switch off the ignition with the button.

Road Sign Assist
This system allows the speed limit detected by the camera to be displayed in the instrument panel.Specific speed limits, such as those for heavy goods vehicles, are not displayed.The display of the speed limit in the instrument panel is updated as you pass a speed limit sign intended for cars (light vehicles).
Principles
Depending on equipment, the system takes account of speed limit information from the navigation system mapping.
The units for the speed limits (mph or km/h) depend on the country you are driving in.It should be taken into account so that you observe the speed limit.For the system to operate correctly when you change country, the units for speed in the instrument panel must be those for the country you are driving in.
Depending on equipment, using a camera at the top of the windscreen, this system detects and reads speed limit and end of speed limit signs.
Depending on equipment, the system takes account of the camera and information from the navigation system mapping.
To maintain correct operation of the system: regularly clean the area in front of the camera.
The automatic reading of road signs is a driving assistance system and does not always display speed limits correctly.The speed limit signs present on the road always take priority over the display by the system.The system cannot in any circumstances replace the need for vigilance on the part of the driver.
The driver must observe the driving regulations and must adapt the speed of the vehicle to suit the weather and traffic.It is possible for the system to not display the speed limit if it does not detect a speed limit sign within a preset period.The system is designed to detect signs that conform to the Vienna Convention on road signs.
For the speed limit information given by the navigation system to be correct, your mapping software must be regularly updated.

Memorising the speed
setting
This memorisation is in addition to the display of Road Sign Assist.
The driver can choose to adapt the speed setting to the speed limit suggested, by pressing the memorisation button at the speed limiter controls, with the standard cruise control or the adaptive cruise control.This speed setting then replaces the previous speed setting for the speed limiter and/or adaptive cruise control.
For more information on the Speed limiter, Cruise control or
Adaptive cruise control, refer to the corresponding sections.
Steering mounted controls
1. Select speed limiter/cruise control mode.2. Memorise a speed setting.
Operating limits
The legislation on speed limits is specific to each country.The system does not take account of reduced speed limits in the following cases:- poor weather (rain, snow),- atmospheric pollution,- trailer, caravan,- driving with snow chains fitted,
- puncture repair using the temporary repair kit,- young drivers.
Operation of the system may be disrupted or it may not work at all in the following situations:- poor visibility (inadequate street lighting, falling snow, rain, fog),- windscreen area ahead of the camera dirty, misty, frosty, covered with snow, damaged or masked by a sticker,- fault with the camera,- obsolete or incorrect mapping,- hidden road signs (other vehicles, vegetation, snow),- speed limit signs that do not conform to the standard, are damaged or distorted.
Clean the area of the windscreen in front of the camera regularly.

This system, also called automatic emergency
braking, aims to reduce the speed of impact or avoid a frontal collision by your vehicle (between 3 and 87 mph (5 and 140 km/h)) where the driver fails to react.Using a radar and a camera, this system acts on the vehicle's braking system.
Autonomous emergency
braking
The driver can take back control of the vehicle at any time by sharply turning the steering wheel and/or pressing the accelerator pedal.
Operation of the system may be felt by slight vibration in the brake pedal.If the vehicle comes to a complete stop, the automatic braking is maintained for 1 to 2 seconds.If your vehicle has a manual gearbox, in the event of the automatic emergency braking bringing the vehicle to a complete stop, the engine may stall.
If your vehicle has an automatic gearbox, in the event of the automatic emergency braking bringing the vehicle to a complete stop, the vehicle will move off again; press the brake pedal.
If automatic emergency braking is not activated, you are alerted by the fixed display of this warning lamp accompanied by a message.
If the radar and the camera have confirmed the presence of a vehicle or a pedestrian, this warning lamp flashes when the system is operating.
Important: if operation of the automatic emergency braking is triggered, you should take back control of your vehicle and brake with the pedal to add to or finish the automatic braking.
