ASR / DSCThese systems enhance safety during normal driving, but should not encourage the driver to take extra risks or drive at high speed.It is in conditions of reduced grip (rain, snow, ice) that the risk of loss of grip increases. It is therefore important for your safety to keep these systems activated in all conditions, and particularly in difficult conditions.Correct operation of these systems depends on compliance with the manufacturer's recommendations relating to the wheels (tyres and rims), braking and electronic components, as well as the assembly and repair procedures used by TOYOTA dealers.The use of snow tyres is recommended, to ensure that these systems remain effective in winter conditions. All four wheels must be fitted with tyres approved for the vehicle.
Trailer stability assist (TSA)
When towing, this system reduces the risk of the vehicle or trailer snaking.
Operation
The system is activated automatically when the ignition is switched on.The electronic stability control system (ESC) must not have any faults.
At speeds between 60 and 160 km/h (37 and 99 mph), if the system detects oscillating trailer movements (snaking), it acts on the brakes to stabilise the trailer and, if necessary, reduces engine power to slow the vehicle.This warning lamp flashes on the instrument panel and the brake lamps light up to draw attention to this corrective action.For information on weights and towed loads, refer to the Engine Technical Data and Towed Loads section or your vehicle’s registration certificateTo ensure safe driving with a Towing device, refer to the corresponding section.
Malfunction
If a fault occurs, this warning lamp comes on in the instrument panel, accompanied by a message and an audible signal.If you wish to continue towing a trailer, reduce your speed and drive carefully!Contact a TOYOTA dealer or a qualified workshop to have the system checked.
WARNI NG
The trailer stability assist system offers enhanced safety in normal driving, provided that the recommendations on towing a trailer are observed. It should not encourage the driver to take risks, such as towing a trailer in adverse operating conditions (overloading, failure to observe the trailer nose weight,
worn or under-inflated tyres, faulty braking system, etc.), or to drive at excessive speeds.In certain cases, the system may not detect trailer snaking, particularly with a light trailer.When driving on slippery or poor surfaces, the system may not be able to prevent sudden trailer snaking.
Advanced Grip Control
A special, patented traction control system which improves driveability on snow, mud and sand.This system, optimised for operation in a range of conditions, enables you to manoeuvre in most slippery conditions (encountered during normal passenger car use).When combined with suitable tyres, this system offers a compromise between safety, grip and driveability.The accelerator pedal should be pressed sufficiently to allow the system to harness the power of the engine. Operation at high engine
speeds is completely normal.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, accompanied by the display of a message to confirm your choice.

Advice
WARNI NG
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 fulfil their role fully.Before and after use, ensure that the seat belt is reeled in correctly.After folding or moving a seat or rear bench seat, ensure that the seat belt is positioned and reeled in correctly.
WARNI NG
InstallationThe 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.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 show any signs of cuts or fraying,– not be converted or modified in order not to affect its performance.
WARNI NG
Recommendations for childrenUse a suitable child seat if the passenger is less than 12 years old or shorter than one and a half metres (4 ft 11").
Never use the same seat belt to secure more than one child.Never carry a child on your lap.For more information on Child seats, refer to the corresponding section.
WARNI NG
MaintenanceIn 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 the seat belts checked regularly by a TOYOTA dealer or a qualified workshop, 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.
WARNI NG
In the event of an impactDepending on the nature and seriousness of impacts, the pyrotechnic pretensioner device may trigger before and independently of airbag deployment. 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 belt system checked, and if necessary replaced, by a TOYOTA dealer or a qualified workshop.
Airbags
System designed to contribute towards improving the safety of the occupants (with the exception of the centre seat in row 2) in the
event of violent collisions.The airbags supplement the action of the force-limiting seat belts.If a collision occurs, the electronic detectors record and analyse the front and side impacts sustained in the impact detection zones:– in the event of a serious impact, the airbags are deployed instantly and contribute towards better protection of the occupants (with the exception of the centre seat in row 2);

In case of towing
WARNI NG
Driving with a trailer places greater demands on the towing vehicle and requires extra care from the driver.
NOTIC E
Respect the maximum towable weights.At altitude: reduce the maximum load by 10% per 1,000 metres (3,280 ft) of altitude; the density of the air decreases with altitude and the performance of the engine reduces.
WARNI NG
New vehicle: do not pull a trailer before having driven at least 1,000 kilometres (620 miles).
NOTIC E
If the outside temperature is high, let the engine idle for 1 to 2 minutes after the vehicle comes to a stop, to help it to cool.
Before setting off
Nose weight
► Distribute the load in the trailer so that the heaviest items are as close as possible to the axle and the nose weight (at the point where it joins your vehicle) approaches the maximum permitted without exceeding it.
Tyres
► Check the tyre pressures of the towing vehicle and of the trailer, observing the recommended pressures.
Lighting
► Check the electrical signalling on the trailer and the headlamp beam height of your vehicle.
NOTIC E
If a genuine TOYOTA towing device is used, the rear parking sensors will be deactivated automatically to avoid the audible signal.
When driving
Cooling
Towing a trailer uphill increases the temperature of the coolant. The maximum towable load depends on the gradient and the exterior temperature. The cooling capacity of the fan does not increase with engine speed.► Reduce speed and lower the engine speed, so as to limit the heating-up.
In all cases, pay attention to the coolant temperature.If this warning lamp and the STOP warning lamp come on, stop the vehicle and switch off the engine as soon as possible.
Brakes
Braking distances are increased when towing a trailer. To avoid overheating of the brakes, the use of engine braking is recommended.
Side wind
Bear in mind the increased susceptibility to the wind that the vehicle will have.
Anti-theft protection
Electronic immobiliser
The remote control contains an electronic chip which has a special code. When the ignition is switched on, this code must be recognised in order for starting to be possible.A few seconds after switching off the ignition,
this system locks the engine control system, therefore preventing the engine from being started in the event of a break-in.In the event of a fault, you are informed by illumination of this warning lamp, an audible signal and a message on the screen.The vehicle will not start; contact a TOYOTA dealer as soon as possible.

To avoid any risk of jamming the pedals:– only use mats which are suited to the fixings already present in the vehicle; these fixings must be used,– never place one mat on top of another.The use of mats not approved by TOYOTA may interfere 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.
With the Keyless Entry and Starting
► Place the remote control inside the vehicle, in the recognition zone.
► Press the “START/STOP” button.
With a manual gearbox, the steering column unlocks and the engine starts more or less instantly.With the EAT8 automatic gearbox, the engine starts more or less instantly.
NOTIC E
The warning lamp does not come on if the engine is already warm. In some climatic conditions, it is advised to follow the recommendations below:– In mild conditions, do not leave the engine at idle to warm up but move off straight away and drive at moderate speed. Depending on version, if the air conditioning is activated and when the exterior temperature exceeds 35°C, the idle engine speed can accelerate up to 1,300 rpm depending on the air conditioning requirements.– In wintry conditions, when the ignition is switched on, the duration of lighting of the preheating indicator lamp is extended. Wait
until it goes off before starting the engine.– In very severe wintry conditions (temperature below -23°C), to ensure correct operation and durability of the mechanical components of the 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 poisoning and death!
NOTIC E
With petrol engines, after a cold start, preheating the catalytic converter can cause noticeable engine vibrations for anything up to 2 minutes while stationary with the engine running (accelerated idle speed).
WARNI NG
For Diesel vehicles, when the temperature is below zero, starting will only occur once the preheating warning lamp is 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.
NOTIC E
The presence of the “Keyless Entry and Starting” system remote control is imperative in the recognition zone.Never leave the vehicle with the engine running and with the remote control on your person.

Deactivation/Activation
By default, the system is automatically activated at every engine start.This system can be deactivated or activated via the vehicle settings menu.Deactivation of the system is signalled by the illumination of this indicator lamp, accompanied by the display of a message.
Malfunction
In the event of a system malfunction, this warning lamp comes on on the instrument panel, accompanied by an onscreen message
and an audible signal.Contact a TOYOTA dealer or a qualified workshop to have the system checked.If these warning lamps come on after the engine has been switched off and then restarted, contact a TOYOTA dealer or a qualified workshop to have the system checked.
Active Lane Departure
Warning System
Refer to the General recommendations on the use of driving and manoeuvring aids.Using a camera located at the top of the windscreen to identify lane markings on the road and at the edges of the road (depending on version), the system corrects the trajectory of the vehicle while alerting the driver if it detects a risk of unintentionally crossing a line or hard shoulder (depending on version).This system is particularly useful on motorways and main roads.
Conditions for operation
– The speed of the vehicle must be between 65 and 180 km/h (40 and 112 mph).– The traffic lane must be delimited by a dividing line.– The driver must hold the wheel with both hands.– The change of trajectory must not be accompanied by operation of the direction indicators.– The ESC system must be activated and not faulty.
WARNI NG
The system helps the driver only when there is a risk of the vehicle involuntarily wandering from the lane it is being driven in. It does not manage the safe driving distance, the speed of the vehicle or the brakes.The driver must hold the steering wheel with both hands in a way that allows control to be maintained in circumstances where the system is not able to intervene (for example, if the dividing line marking disappears).
Operation
Once the system identifies a risk of the vehicle involuntarily crossing one of the lane markings detected or a lane limit (e.g. grass border), it makes the correction to the trajectory necessary to return the vehicle to its initial path.The driver will notice a turning movement of the steering wheel.This warning lamp flashes during
trajectory correction.
NOTIC E
The driver can prevent the correction by keeping a firm grip on the wheel (during an avoiding manoeuvre, for example).The correction is interrupted if the direction indicators are operated.
134
– inactivity by the driver detected during correction.
NOTIC E
During a correction, if the driver is inactive (not holding the steering wheel for 10 seconds), a warning message appears.If the driver remains inactive (not holding the steering wheel for 2 more seconds), the
correction is interrupted.
WARNI NG
The following situations may interfere with the operation of the system or prevent it from working:– insufficient contrast between the road surface and the shoulders (e.g. shade),– lane markings worn, hidden (snow, mud) or multiple (roadworks, etc.),– running close to the vehicle in front (the lane markings may not be detected),– roads that are narrow, winding, etc.
Risk of undesirable operation
We recommend deactivating the system in the following driving situations:
– driving on damaged, unstable or very slippery (ice) road surfaces,– unfavourable weather conditions,– driving on a speed circuit,
– driving on a rolling road.
Deactivation / Activation
► Press this button to deactivate / reactivate the system at any time. Deactivation is signalled by the lighting of the indicator lamp in the button and this warning lamp in the instrument panel.The system is automatically reactivated every time the ignition is switched on.
