Application
Anti-theft protection
Electronic engine immobiliser
The keys contain an electronic chip which has a secret code. When the ignition is switched on, this code must be recognised in order for starting to be possible.This electronic engine immobiliser locks the engine management system a few minutes after the ignition is switched off and prevents starting of the engine by anyone who does not have the key.In the event of a malfunction, you are informed by a message in the instrument panel screen.In this case, your vehicle does not start; contact an authorized Toyota dealer or repairer, or another duly qualified and equipped professional if required.
For reasons of safety and theft protection, do not leave your electronic key in the vehicle, even when you are close to it.
It is recommended that you keep it on your person.

Gear efficiency indicator
Depending on the driving situation and your vehicle's equipment, the system may advise you to skip one or more gears.You can follow this instruction without going through the intermediate gears.
- You press the accelerator pedal.
- You are in third gear.
- The system may suggest that you engage a higher gear.
The information appears in the instrument panel in the form of an arrow.On vehicles with manual gearbox, the arrow may be accompanied by the recommended g e a r.
The system adapts its gear change recommendation according to the driving conditions (gradient, load, ...) and the demands of the driver (power, acceleration, braking, ...).The system never suggests:
- engaging first gear,- engaging reverse gear.
System which reduces fuel consumption by recommending the most suitable gear.
Example:
On certain Diesel versions with manual gearbox, the system may suggest changing into neutral (N is displayed in the instrument panel) so that the engine can go into standby (STOP mode with Stop & Start), in certain driving conditions.
This function cannot be deactivated.
The gear engagement recommendations must not be considered compulsory.This is because the configuration of
the road, traffic density and safety remain impor tant factors in the choice of the best gear.The gear efficiency indicator system does not replace the need for vigilance on the part of the driver.

F With your foot on the brake, select position P.When the engine is running at idle, with the brakes released, if position R, D or M is selected, the vehicle moves even without the accelerator being pressed.Never leave children in the vehicle without supervision.As a safety measure, never leave the vehicle without taking your key or remote control with you, even for a short time.When carrying out maintenance with the engine running, apply the parking brake and select position P.
If you have to move off on a steep slope with a loaded vehicle, press the brake pedal, select position D, then release the parking brake.
F Start the engine.If the conditions are not met, there is an audible signal, accompanied by a message in the instrument panel screen.F Release the parking brake.F Select position R, N or D.

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 off.
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.

When the ignition is on, a message appears in the instrument panel screen to indicate a gearbox fault.
Operating fault
In this case, the gearbox switches to back-up mode and is locked in 3rd gear. You may feel
a substantial knock when changing from P to R and from N to R. This will not cause any damage to the gearbox.Do not exceed 60 mph (100 km/h), local speed restrictions permitting.Have it checked by an authorized Toyota dealer or repairer, or another duly qualified and equipped professional.
You risk damaging the gearbox:- if you press the accelerator and brake pedals at the same time (braking or acceleration must be done only with the right foot),- if you force the selector from position P to another position when the battery is flat.
To reduce fuel consumption when stationary for long periods with the engine running (traffic jam...), position the selector at N and apply the parking brake.
Stopping the vehicle
A stiff point may be noticed when moving to position P.If the selector is not in position P, when the driver's door is opened or
approximately 45 seconds after the ignition is switched off, there is an audible signal and a message appears.F Return the selector to position P; the audible signal stops and the message disappears.
Before switching off the engine, select position P then apply the parking brake to immobilise the vehicle.
In all circumstances, ensure that the selector is in position P before leaving your vehicle.
On a steep slope with a loaded vehicle, press the brake pedal, select position P, apply the parking brake then release the brake pedal.
