Anti-lock braking system
(ABS) and electronic brake
force distribution (EBFD)
In emergency braking, press ver y firmly and maintain this pressure.
When changing wheels (tyres and rims), ensure that these are approved for your vehicle.Normal operation of the ABS may make itself felt by slight vibrations of the brake pedal.
The fixed illumination of this warning lamp indicates that there is a fault with the ABS.The vehicle retains conventional braking. Drive carefully at moderate speed.
When this warning lamp comes on, coupled with the STOP and ABS warning lamps, accompanied by an audible signal and a message, it indicates that there is a fault with the electronic brake force distribution (EBFD).You must stop as soon as it is safe to do so.In both cases, have the system checked by an authorized Toyota dealer or repairer, or another duly qualified and equipped professional as soon as possible.
Intelligent traction
control
If fitted to your vehicle, it has a system to help driving on snow: intelligent traction control.This system detects situations of difficult sur face adhesion that could make it difficult to move off or make progress on deep fresh snow or compacted snow.In these situations, intelligent traction control limits the amount of wheel slip to provide the best traction and trajectory control for your vehicle.
The use of snow tyres is strongly recommended on sur faces offering low levels of grip.

Advice
In the event of an impact
Depending on the nature and seriousness of the impact, the pretensioning device may be deployed before and independently of the airbags. Deployment of the pretensioners is accompanied by a slight discharge of harmless smoke and a noise, due to the activation of the pyrotechnic cartridge incorporated in the system.In all cases, the airbag warning lamp comes on.Following an impact, have the seat belts system checked, and if necessary replaced, by an authorized Toyota dealer or repairer, or another duly qualified and equipped professional.
In order to be effective, a seat belt must:- be tightened as close to the body as possible,- be pulled in front of you with a smooth movement, checking that it does not twist,- be used to restrain only one person,- not bear any trace of cuts or fraying,- not be converted or modified to avoid affecting its performance.In accordance with current safety regulations, for all repairs on your vehicle's seat belts, go to a qualified workshop with the skills and equipment needed, which a Toyota dealer is able to provide.Have your seat belts checked regularly by an authorized Toyota dealer or repairer, or another duly qualified and equipped professional, particularly if the straps show signs of damage.
Clean the seat belt straps with soapy water or a textile cleaning product, sold by Toyota dealers.After folding or moving a seat or rear bench seat, ensure that the seat belt is positioned and reeled in correctly.
Recommendations for children
Use a suitable child seat if the passenger is less than 12 years old or shorter than one and a half metres.Never use the same seat belt to secure more than one person.Never allow a child to travel on your lap.For more information on Child seats, refer to the corresponding section.
The driver must ensure that passengers use the seat belts correctly and that they are all fastened before setting off.Wherever you are seated in the vehicle, always fasten your seat belt, even for short journeys.Do not interchange the seat belt buckles as they will not fulfill their role fully.The seat belts are fitted with an inertia reel permitting automatic adjustment of the length of the strap to your size. The seat belt is stowed automatically when not in use.Before and after use, ensure that the seat belt is reeled in correctly.The lower part of the strap must be positioned as low as possible on the pelvis.The upper part must be positioned in the hollow of the shoulder.The inertia reels are fitted with an automatic locking device which comes into operation in
the event of a collision, emergency braking or if the vehicle rolls over. You can release the device by pulling the strap firmly and then releasing it so that it reels in slightly.

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 per formance. 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.

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.
