Special patented traction control system which improves traction on snow, mud and sand.This system, the operation of which has been optimised for each situation, allows you to manoeuvre in most conditions of poor grip (encountered during touring use).
This mode is calibrated for a low level of wheel spin, based on the different levels of grip normally encountered on the road.
F Place the knob in this position.
This mode adapts its strategy to the conditions of grip encountered for each of the two front wheels on moving off.(mode active up to 30 mph (50 km/h))
F Place the knob in this position.
A five-position selector knob allows you to choose the setting best suited to the driving conditions encountered.An indicator lamp associated with each mode comes on to confirm your choice.
The accelerator pedal should be pressed sufficiently to allow the system to use the power of the engine. Operation at high engine speeds is completely normal.
Different modes are provided:
SnowStandard (ESC)
Every time the ignition is switched off, the system automatically resets to this mode.
Associated with all-seasons Peak Mountain Snow Flake tyres, this system offers a compromise between safety, adhesion and traction. These tyres work equally well in winter and summer.
Safety

Driving recommendations
Observe the driving regulations and remain vigilant whatever the traffic conditions.Pay close attention to the traffic and keep your hands on the wheel so that you are ready to react at any time to any eventuality.On a long journey, a break every two hours is strongly recommended.In difficult weather, drive smoothly, anticipate
the need to brake and increase the distance from other vehicles.
Never drive with the parking brake applied - Risk of overheating and damage to the braking system!Risk of fire!As the exhaust system of your vehicle is very hot, even several minutes after switching off the engine, do not park or run the engine over areas where inflammable substances and materials are present: grass, leaves, etc.
Never leave a vehicle unsupervised with the engine running. If you have to leave your vehicle with the engine running, apply the parking brake and put the gearbox into neutral or position N or P, depending on the type of gearbox.
Driving on flooded roads
We strongly advise against driving on flooded
roads, as this could cause serious damage to the engine or gearbox, as well as to the electrical systems of your vehicle.
Important!If you are obliged to drive through water:
- check that the depth of water does not exceed 15 cm, taking account of waves that might be generated by other users,- deactivate the Stop & Start system,- drive as slowly as possible without stalling. In all cases, do not exceed 6 mph (10 km/h),- do not stop and do not switch off the engine.On leaving the flooded road, as soon as circumstances allow, make several light brake applications to dry the brake discs and pads.If in doubt on the state of your vehicle, contact an authorized Toyota dealer or repairer, or another duly qualified and equipped professional.

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.

Starting using the key
The parking brake must be applied.
F Insert the key in the ignition switch. The system recognises the starting code.F Unlock the steering column by simultaneously turning the steering wheel and the key.
F If your vehicle has a manual gearbox, place the gear lever in neutral then fully depress the clutch pedal.
In certain circumstances, you may have to turn the steering wheel firmly to move the road wheels (if the wheels are against a kerb, for example).
F If your vehicle has an electronic gearbox, place the selector at position N then press the brake pedal firmly.
F If your vehicle has an automatic gearbox, place the selector at position P then press the brake pedal firmly.

F Turn the key to position 2, ignition on, to operate the engine pre-heating.
F Wait until this warning lamp goes off in the instrument panel then operate the starter motor by turning the key to position 3 until the engine starts, without pressing the accelerator. Once the engine starts, release the key.
The warning lamp does not come on if the engine is already warm. Depending on the climatic conditions, it is recommended that you proceed as follows:- In temperate conditions, do not run the engine with the vehicle stationary to warm it up, but rather move off straight away and drive at
moderate engine speeds.- In wintry conditions, the pre-heater warning lamp will stay on for a longer period after switching on the ignition; wait until it goes off before starting.- In ver y severe wintr y conditions (temperature below -23°C), to ensure the correct operation and durability of the mechanical components of your vehicle (engine and gearbox), leave the engine running for 4 minutes before moving off.Never leave the engine running in an enclosed area without adequate ventilation: internal combustion engines emit toxic exhaust gases, such as carbon monoxide. Danger of intoxication and death.
If the engine does not start straight away, switch off the ignition.Wait a few moments before trying again. If the engine does not start after a few attempts, do not keep trying: you risk damaging the starter motor and the engine.Call on an authorized Toyota dealer or repairer, or another duly qualified and
equipped professional.

Avoid attaching heavy objects to the key, which would weigh down on its blade in the ignition switch and could cause a malfunction.
Switching off the engine leads to a loss of braking assistance.
Key left in the "Ignition on" position
If the key has been left in the ignition switch at position 2 (Ignition on), the ignition will be switched off automatically after one hour.To switch the ignition back on, turn the key to position 1 (Stop), then back to position 2 (Ignition on).Never switch off the ignition until the vehicle has been brought to a complete stop.
F Turn the key fully towards you to position 1 (Stop).F Remove the key from the ignition switch.F To lock the steering column, turn the steering wheel until it locks.
Switching off using the key
F Immobilise the vehicle.
To facilitate unlocking of the steering wheel, it is recommended that you place the wheels in the straight ahead position before switching off the engine.
F Check that the parking brake is correctly applied, particularly when parking on a slope.
When leaving the vehicle, remove the key and lock the doors.As a safety measure (children on board), never leave the vehicle without your remote control with you, even for a short period.
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.
