Eco-driving is a range of everyday practices that allow the motorist to optimise their fuel consumption and CO2 emissions.
Eco-driving
Optimise the use of your
gearboxWith a manual gearbox, move off gently and change up without waiting. During acceleration change up early.
With an automatic or electronic gearbox, give preference to automatic mode and avoid pressing the accelerator pedal heavily or suddenly.
The gear shift indicator invites you to engage the most suitable gear: as soon as the indication is displayed in the instrument panel, follow it straight away.For vehicles fitted with an electronic or automatic gearbox, this indicator appears only in manual mode.
Drive smoothly
Maintain a safe distance between vehicles, use engine braking rather than the brake pedal, and press the accelerator progressively. These practices contribute towards a reduction in fuel
consumption and CO2 emissions and also help to reduce the background traffic noise.
If your vehicle has cruise control, make use of the system at speeds above 25 mph (40 km/h) when the traffic is flowing well.
Control the use of your
electrical equipment
Switch off the demisting and defrosting controls, if not automatic.Switch off the heated seat as soon as possible.
Switch off the headlamps and front foglamps when the level of light does not require their use.
Avoid running the engine before moving off, particularly in winter; your vehicle will warm up much faster while driving.
As a passenger, if you avoid connecting your multimedia devices (film, music, video game...), you will contribute towards limiting the consumption of electrical energy, and so of fuel.Disconnect your portable devices before leaving the vehicle.
Before moving off, if the passenger compartment is
too warm, ventilate it by opening the windows and air vents before using the air conditioning.Above 30 mph (50 km/h), close the windows and leave the air vents open.Remember to make use of equipment that can help keep the temperature in the passenger compartment down (sunroof and window blinds...).Switch off the air conditioning, unless it has automatic regulation, as soon as the desired temperature is attained.

A few definitions
Range
(miles or km)The distance which can still be travelled with the fuel remaining in the tank (related to the average fuel consumption over the last few miles (kilometres) travelled).
This value may vary following a change in the style of driving or the relief, resulting in a significant change in the current fuel consumption.
When the range falls below 20 miles (30 km), dashes are displayed. After filling with at least 8 litres of fuel, the range is recalculated and is displayed when it exceeds 60 miles (100 km).
If dashes are displayed continuously while driving in place of the digits, contact an authorized Toyota dealer or repairer, or another duly qualified and equipped professional.
This function is only displayed from 20 mph (30 km/h).
Current fuel consumption
(mpg or l/100 km or km/l)Calculated over the last few seconds.
Average fuel consumption
(mpg or l/100 km or km/l)Calculated since the last trip reset.
Average speed
(mph or km/h)Calculated since the last trip reset.
Distance travelled
(miles or km)Calculated since the last trip reset.
Stop & Start time counter
(minutes / seconds or hours / minutes)
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.

Automatic headlamp dipping
System which automatically changes between dipped and main beam according to the ambient light level and the driving conditions, using a camera located at the top of the windscreen.
Activation / deactivation
F Put the lighting control stalk ring in the "AUTO" or dipped/main beam position.
This automatic headlamp dipping system is a driving aid.The driver remains responsible for the vehicle's lighting and for adapting its settings to the levels of brightness and visibility and the traffic conditions.
The system will be operational as soon as you have exceeded 15 mph (25 km/h).If the speed drops below 9 mph (15 km/h), the system no longer operates.
The driver can intervene at any time if the circumstances dictate by pulling on the lighting control stalk to switch between main and dipped beam.
Flashing the headlamps does not deactivate the system.The state of the system stays in memory when the ignition is switched off.
Pause
The driver can intervene at any time if the situation requires a change in the state of the headlamps.
F Flashing the headlamps pauses the function and the lighting system changes to "automatic illumination of headlamps".

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.

Steering mounted control paddlesElectronically controlled gearbox which offers a choice between the comfort of fully automatic operation and manual gear changing.There are two driving modes:- automatic operation for automatic control of the gears by the gearbox, without any action on the part of the driver,- manual operation for sequential gear changing by the driver using the steering mounted paddles.With automatic operation, you can temporarily take over control of gear changing at any time.
The steering mounted paddles cannot be used to select neutral or to select or come out of reverse gear.
To turn the gear selector in complete safety, it is recommended that you keep your foot on the brake.

The following table describes the alerts and the messages displayed for the different driving situations.The display of these alerts is not sequential.
Driving situations and associated alerts
SymbolAssociated messageComments
No vehicle detected: the system operates as a standard cruise control.
Detection of a vehicle, at the limit of the range of the radar: the system operates as a standard cruise control.
"SPEED ADJUSTED"Detection of a vehicle that is too close or running at a speed lower than your vehicle's cruise speed setting.The system uses engine braking to slow your vehicle (within a limit of 20 mph (30 km/h)) and then hold it at the speed of the vehicle in front so as to observe the programmed inter-vehicle time.When automatically slowing down behind a vehicle, your true speed may be higher than the "adjusted speed" displayed.
"SPEED ADJUSTED"When the adjusted speed reaches the limit of regulation (speed setting less than 20 mph (30 km/h)), the adjusted speed flashes together with the speed setting to signal that automatic deactivation of the system is imminent.
"Cruise control paused"If the system exceeds the limit of speed adjustment possible by the system and in the absence of any reaction by the driver (operation of the direction indicator, change of lane, reduction of the speed of the vehicle), the system is automatically paused.The display of the deactivation message is accompanied by an audible signal.

This level of alert is based on the time before collision. It takes account of the vehicle dynamics, the speed of your vehicle and the
one in front, the environmental conditions, the operation of the vehicle (cornering, pedals pressed, etc.) to trigger the alert at the best moment.
Level 2: visual and audible alert, warning you that a collision is imminent.A message indicating that you should brake is displayed.
Where the speed of your vehicle is too high approaching another vehicle, the first level of alert may not be displayed: the level 2 alert may be displayed di r e c t l y.Furthermore, the level 1 alert is never displayed with the "Close" threshold.Poor weather conditions (very heavy rain, accumulation of snow in front of the radar and the camera) may hinder the operation of the system, with the display of an operating fault message. The system remains out of service until the message disappears.
Programming the alert thresholds
The thresholds for triggering an alert determine how you wish to be warned of the presence of a vehicle moving or stationary ahead of you, or a pedestrian in your traffic lane.You can select one of three thresholds:- "Distant", to be warned early (cautious driving).- "Normal".- "Close", to be warned later.
In the vehicle settings menu, activate/deactivate "Collision risk alert and automatic braking".
With the touch screen
With the audio system
In the "Personalisation-configuration" menu, activate/deactivate "Auto. emergency braking".Then modify the alert threshold.
Then modify the alert threshold.Press on "Confirm" to save the change.
