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.

When the adaptive cruise control is automatically paused, it can only be reactivated when safe conditions are restored. The message "Activation not possible, conditions unsuitable" is displayed while reactivation is not possible.When the conditions allow, it is recommended that the function be reactivated by pressing button 2 (SET+) or 3 (SET-), which will make the current speed of your vehicle the new cruise speed setting, rather than by pressing button 4 (on/pause) which reactivates the cruise control using the old cruise speed setting, which may be very different from the current speed of your vehicle.
The speed regulation range is limited to a maximum difference of 20 mph (30 km/h) between the speed setting and the speed of the vehicle in front.Above this, the system goes into pause if the safe distance becomes too small.The adaptive cruise control uses only engine braking to slow the vehicle. Consequently the vehicle loses speed slowly, as when releasing the accelerator pedal.The system is paused automatically:- if the vehicle in front slows down too much or too suddenly, and the driver does not brake,- if a vehicle comes between your vehicle and the vehicle in front,- if the system does not slow the vehicle enough to continue to maintain a safe distance, for example when descending a steep hill.
Limits of operation
As the radar's field of detection is quite narrow, it is possible that the system may not detect:
- vehicles of reduced width, such as motorcycles, for example,
- vehicles not running in the middle of the lane,
- vehicles entering a corner,- vehicles changing lane at the last moment.
The cruise control does not take account of:- stationary vehicles,- vehicles driving in the opposite direction.

Reversing camera with display in the interior mirror
The visual aid reversing camera is activated automatically when reverse gear is engaged.
The function may be completed with parking sensors.
Opening the rear tailgate or rear door (depending on equipment) can interfere with the display.If a side door is open, allow for the space it occupies.
Some deformation of the image is normal.
The reversing camera cannot in any circumstances be a substitute for vigilance on the part of the driver.
Check the cleanliness of the camera lens regularly.Clean the reversing camera regularly using a soft, dry cloth.
The image is displayed in the interior mirror.
High pressure jet washing (if muddy, for example)When washing your vehicle, do not place the tip of the lance within 30 cm of the camera as there is a risk of damaging it.The blue lines represent the width of your vehicle including the mirrors.The red line represents a distance of 30 cm from the rear bumper and the thin blue lines respectively 1 m (A) and 2 m (B).

"Standard view"
"180° view""Zoom view" (reconstructed)
The camera records the surroundings during a manoeuvre in order to create a reconstruction of the view from above the rear of the vehicle in its close surroundings, allowing the vehicle to be manoeuvred among the obstacles nearby.This view is available with AUTO view or by selecting of the view in the change view menu.
180° view makes it possible to reverse out of a parking space while being able to see the arrival of vehicles, pedestrians or cyclists.This view is not recommended for carrying out a complete manoeuvre.It is made up of the following:
The area to the rear of your vehicle is displayed in the screen.The blue outline represents the width of your vehicle (with mirrors): its orientation depends on the position of the steering wheel.The red line represents a distance of 30 cm from the rear bumper and the two blue lines, 1 m and 2 m respectively.
Rear views
Engage reverse gear to activate the camera, located on the rear tailgate or rear door.
The rear parking sensors also provide information on the vehicle's surroundings.Obstacles may appear further away than they are in reality.It is important to check the side views using the mirrors during the manoeuvre.
