Important!
WARNI NG
Never leave the engine running in a closed space without sufficient ventilation. Internal combustion engines emit toxic exhaust gases such as carbon monoxide. Danger of poisoning and death!
WARNI NG
In severe wintry conditions (temperature below -23°C), let the engine run for 4 minutes
before moving off, to ensure the correct operation and durability of the mechanical components of your vehicle (engine and gearbox).
WARNI NG
Never drive with the parking brake applied. Risk of overheating and damage to the braking system!
WARNI NG
Do not park the vehicle or leave the engine
running on a flammable surface (dry grass, dead leaves, etc.). The exhaust system of your vehicle is very hot, even several minutes after the engine stops. Risk of fire!
WARNI NG
Never leave a vehicle unattended 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).
WARNI NG
Never leave children inside the vehicle unsupervised.
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.
If you are obliged to drive on a flooded road:► check that the depth of water does not exceed 15 cm (0 ft 5”), taking account of waves that might be generated by other users,► deactivate the Stop & Start function,► drive as slowly as possible without stalling. In all cases, do not exceed 10 km/h (6 mph),► do not stop and do not switch off the engine.On leaving the flooded road, as soon as safety conditions allow, make several light brake applications to dry the brake discs and pads.If in doubt about the state of your vehicle, contact a TOYOTA dealer or a qualified workshop.

The vehicle is fitted with a catalytic converter, which helps to reduce the level of harmful emissions in the exhaust gases.
WARNI NG
If you have put in the wrong fuel for your vehicle, you must have the fuel tank drained and filled with the correct fuel before starting the engine.
Fuel cut-off
Your vehicle is fitted with a safety system that cuts off the supply of fuel in the event of an impact.
Misfuel prevention (Diesel)
(Depending on country of sale.)This mechanical device prevents filling the tank of a Diesel vehicle with petrol.Located in the filler neck, the misfuel prevention device appears when the filler cap is removed.
Operation
When a petrol filler nozzle is inserted into the fuel filler neck of a Diesel vehicle, it comes into contact with the flap. The system remains closed and prevents filling.Do not persist but introduce a Diesel type filler nozzle.
