Towing device with quickly
detachable towball
No tools are required to install or remove this genuine towing device.
NOTIC E
Trailers with LED lamps are not compatible with the wiring harness of this device.
Fitting
► On the towball, move the lever from position 1 to position 2.
► Before fitting the towball, check that the contact points (shown by the arrows) are clean. Use a soft, clean cloth.► Insert the end of the towball into the carrier, located underneath the rear bumper, as far as it can go.► Secure the towball correctly by moving the lever to position 3 ("locked" position).► If necessary, pivot the socket downwards, paying attention to the exhaust pipe.► Connect the trailer plug to the 13-pin socket provided next to the carrier.► Secure the trailer by connecting its safety cable to the eye on the carrier.
Removing
► On the towball, move the lever from position 3 to position 2.► Remove the towball by pulling it towards you.► Once the towball has been removed, move the lever from position 2 to position 1.
WARNI NG
If the towball is not locked, the trailer can detach. This may cause an accident.Always lock the towball as described in the instructions.Observe the legislation in force in the country in which you are driving.Remove the towball when not in use.
Before starting the vehicle, check that the trailer lamps operate correctly.Before setting off, check the adjustment of the headlamp beam height.
WARNI NG
Connect the trailer plug with the engine off.If you connect the trailer plug within a few minutes of switching off the engine, do not
touch the exhaust pipe. Risk of burns!
WARNI NG
Carrier systems (box or bicycle carrier)Always comply with the maximum load authorised on the towing device: if exceeded, the device may detach from the vehicle, potentially causing a serious accident.

► Pull the release lever, located at the bottom of the door frame, towards you.► Lift the safety catch and raise the bonnet.
► Unclip the stay from its housing and place it in the support slot to hold the bonnet open.
Closing
► Take the stay out of the support slot.► Clip the stay in its housing.► Lower the bonnet and release it near the end of its travel.► Pull on the bonnet to check that it is locked correctly.

Because of the presence of electrical
equipment under the bonnet, it is recommended that exposure to water (rain, washing, etc.) be limited.

The Diesel fuel system operates under very high pressure.All work on this circuit must be carried out only by a TOYOTA dealer or a qualified workshop.
Checking levels
Check all of the following levels regularly in accordance with the manufacturer's service schedule. Top them up if required, unless otherwise indicated.If a level drops significantly, have the corresponding system checked by a TOYOTA dealer or a qualified workshop.
WARNI NG
The fluids must comply with the manufacturer's requirements and with the vehicle's engine.

Automatic gearbox
The gearbox does not require any maintenance (no oil change).
Brake pads
Brake wear depends on the style of driving, particularly in the case of vehicles used in town, over short distances. It may be necessary to have the condition of the brakes checked, even between vehicle services.Unless there is a leak in the circuit, a drop in the brake fluid level indicates that the brake pads are worn.
NOTIC E
After washing the vehicle, moisture, or in wintry conditions, ice can form on the brake discs and pads: braking efficiency may be reduced. Gently dab the brakes to dry and defrost them.
Brake disc wear
For information on checking brake disc wear, contact a TOYOTA dealer or a qualified workshop.
Manual parking brake
If you notice excessive brake lever travel or decreased effectiveness, the parking brake must be adjusted, even between two
services.
This system must be checked by a TOYOTA dealer or a qualified workshop.
Electric parking brake
This system does not require any routine servicing. However, in the event of a problem, do not hesitate to have the system checked by a TOYOTA dealer or a qualified workshop.
NOTIC E
For more information on the Electric parking brake, refer to the corresponding section.
Wheels and tyres
The inflation pressure of all tyres, including the spare wheel, must be checked on "cold” tyres.The pressures indicated on the tyre pressure label are valid for "cold" tyres. If you have driven for more than 10 minutes or more than 10 km (6 miles) at over 50 km/h (31 mph), add 0.3 bar (30 kPa) to the values indicated on the label.
WARNI NG
Under-inflation increases fuel consumption. Non-compliant tyre pressure causes
premature wear on tyres and has an adverse effect on the vehicle's road holding - risk of an accident!
Driving with worn or damaged tyres reduces the braking and road holding performance of the vehicle. It is recommended to regularly check the condition of the tyres (tread and sidewalls) and wheel rims as well as the presence of the valves.When the wear indicators no longer appear set back from the tread, the depth of the grooves is less than 1.6 mm; it is imperative to replace the tyres.Using different size wheels and tyres from those specified can affect the lifetime of tyres, wheel rotation, ground clearance, the speedometer reading and have an adverse effect on road holding.Fitting different tyres on the front and rear axles can cause the ESC to mistime.
AdBlue® (Diesel engines)
To respect the environment and ensure compliance with the Euro 6 standard, without adversely affecting the performance or fuel consumption of its Diesel engines, TOYOTA has
taken the decision to equip its vehicles with a system that associates SCR (Selective Catalytic Reduction) with a Diesel particle filter (DPF) for the treatment of exhaust gases.

After refilling
► Refit the blue cap to the tank filler and turn it clockwise, as far as it will go.► Close the fuel filler flap.
Do not dispose of AdBlue® bottles or containers in the household waste.Place them in a container reserved for this purpose or take them back to where you purchased them.
Free-wheeling
In certain situations, you must allow the vehicle to free-wheel (while being towed, on a rolling road, in an automatic car wash, or being transported by rail or sea freight, etc.).
The procedure varies according to the type of gearbox and parking brake.
