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.

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.

For Diesel vehicles, in sub-zero temperatures the engine will not start until the pre-heater warning lamp has gone off.If this warning lamp comes on after pressing the "START/STOP" button, press down on the brake or clutch pedal until the warning lamp goes off, without pressing the "START/STOP" button again, until the engine starts and runs.
Starting
F Then, press the "S TA R T/STOP" button.
Starting-switching off the engine,
"Smart Entry & Start System"
The steering column unlocks and the engine starts more or less immediately.
F Place the remote control inside the vehicle, in the recognition zone.
F If your vehicle has a manual gearbox, fully depress and hold down the clutch pedal until the engine starts.
F If your vehicle has an automatic gearbox, place the selector at position P then press the brake pedal firmly.
F If your vehicle has an electronic gearbox, place the selector at position N then press the brake pedal firmly.

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 of f.
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.
