Hill Assist Descent
Control
System that provides assistance when descending on loose or soft surfaces (gravel, mud, etc.) or a steep gradient.This system reduces the risk of slip or loss of control of the vehicle when descending, whether going forward or in reverse.During a descent, it assists the driver in maintaining a constant speed, depending on the gear engaged, while progressively releasing the brakes.
NOTIC E
For the system to activate, the slope must be greater than 5%.The system can be used with the gearbox in neutral.Otherwise engage a gear corresponding to the speed to prevent the engine stalling.With an automatic gearbox, the system can be used with the selector at N, D or R.
WARNI NG
When the system is regulating, the Active Safety Brake system is automatically
deactivated.
NOTIC E
The system is not available:– if the speed of the vehicle is above 70 km/h (43 mph),– if the speed of the vehicle is being controlled by the Adaptive Cruise Control, depending on the type of gearbox.
Switching on
By default, the system is not selected.The state of the function is not saved when the ignition is switched off.The driver can select the system when the engine is running, when the vehicle is stationary or when moving at speeds up to approximately 50 km/h (31 mph).
► To select the system, at speeds below 50 km/h (31 mph), press this button until its indicator lights up; this lamp appears in green in the instrument panel.The system becomes active at speeds below 30 km/h (19 mph).
► When the vehicle begins its descent, you can release the accelerator and brake pedals; the system regulates the speed:– if the gearbox is in first or second gear, the speed decreases and the indicator lamp flashes rapidly,– if the gearbox is in neutral or if the clutch pedal is depressed, the speed decreases and the indicator lamp flashes slowly; in this case, the maintained descent speed is lower.On a descent, with the vehicle stationary, if you release the accelerator and brake pedals, the system will release the brakes to set the vehicle gradually in motion.The brake lamps light up automatically when the system is regulating.If the speed exceeds 30 km/h (19 mph), regulation is paused automatically, the indicator lamp goes back to grey in the instrument panel, but the green indicator lamp in the button remains on.Regulation resumes automatically when the speed falls below 30 km/h (19 mph) again, if the
slope and pedal release conditions are met.You can depress the accelerator or brake pedal again at any time.

In the event of a system malfunction, this warning lamp comes on on the instrument panel, accompanied by an onscreen message.Have the system checked by a TOYOTA dealer or a qualified workshop.
Seat belts
Front seat belts
The front seat belts are fitted with a single pyrotechnic pretensioning system (or double on the driver’s side, depending on equipment) and a force limiter (or progressive force limiter on the driver’s side, depending on equipment options).This system improves safety in the front seats in the event of a front or side impact.Depending on the severity of the impact, the
single pyrotechnic pretensioning system instantly tightens the seat belts against the body of the occupants.The double pyrotechnic pretensionsining system operates the same way, except that it uses two anchor points rather than one, for enhanced effectiveness.The pyrotechnic pretensioning seat belts are enabled when the ignition is on.
The force limiter reduces the pressure of the seat belt on the chest of the occupant, thus improving their protection.The progressive force limiter operates in the same way, except that it takes the driver’s stature into consideration, thus optimising the reduction in the pressure exerted by the seat belt on the occupant’s chest in the event of an impact.
Fastening
► Pull the strap, then insert the tongue in the
buckle.► Check that the seat belt is fastened correctly by pulling the strap.
Unlocking
► Press the red button on the buckle.► Guide the seat belt as it is reeled in.
Rear seat belts (row 2)
Outer seats
Depending on equipment, they may be fitted with a single pretensioning system and force limiters.Be sure to put the correct seat belt in the correct buckle.Do not interchange the belts or buckles for the outer seats with the belt or buckle for the centre seat.
Centre seat
The seat belt does not have a pyrotechnic pretensioning system and force limiters.

immediately after the impact, the airbags deflate rapidly so that they do not hinder visibility or the exit of the occupants,– in the case of a minor or rear impact or in certain rollover conditions, the airbags may not be deployed; the seat belt alone contributes towards ensuring your protection in these situations.
WARNI NG
The airbags do not operate when the ignition is switched off.This equipment will only deploy once. If a second impact occurs (during the same or a subsequent accident), the airbag will not be deployed again.
Impact detection zones
A.Front impact zone
B.Side impact zone
NOTIC E
When one or more airbags are deployed, the detonation of the pyrotechnic charge incorporated in the system makes a noise and releases a small quantity of smoke.This smoke is not harmful, but sensitive individuals may experience slight irritation.The detonation noise associated with the deployment of one or more airbags may result in a slight loss of hearing for a short time.
Front airbags
System that protects the driver and front passenger(s) in the event of a serious front impact, limiting the risk of head and chest injury.The driver's airbag is fitted in the centre of the steering wheel; the front passenger airbag is fitted in the roof.
Deployment
The airbags are deployed (except the front passenger airbag if it has been deactivated) in
the event of a serious front impact to all or part of the frontal impact zone A, in the longitudinal centreline of the vehicle on a horizontal plane and directed from the front towards the rear of the vehicle.The front airbag inflates between the chest and head of the front occupant of the vehicle and the steering wheel, on the driver's side, and the dashboard, on the passenger side, to cushion their forward movement.

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.

In certain circumstances, you may have to turn the steering wheel firmly to move the wheels (if the wheels are against a kerb, for example).
► Turn the key to position 2, Ignition On, to
activate the engine pre-heating system.► Wait until this warning lamp goes off in the instrument panel, then turn the key to position 3 without pressing the accelerator pedal, to operate the starter motor until the engine starts. As soon as the engine starts, release the key.
NOTIC E
The warning lamp does not come on if the engine is already warm. In some climatic conditions, the following recommendations should be followed:– 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 the exterior
temperature exceeds 35 °C, the engine’s idle speed may increase, up to 1,300 rpm, depending on the cooling requirements.
– 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 very severe wintry conditions (temperature below -23 °C), to ensure correct operation and durability of your vehicle’s mechanical components (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, pre-heating the catalytic converter can cause clearly-felt engine vibrations when stationary, with the engine running, for anything up to 2 minutes (accelerated idle speed).
