The automatic rain sensitive windscreen wipers must be reactivated by pushing the control stalk downwards, if the ignition has been off for more than one minute.
The windscreen wipers operate automatically, without any action on the part of the driver, if rain is detected (sensor behind the rear view mirror), adapting their speed to the intensity of the rainfall.
Do not cover the rain sensor, linked with the sunshine sensor and located in the top of the windscreen behind the rear view
m i r r o r.Switch off the automatic rain sensitive wipers when using an automatic car wash.In winter, it is advisable to wait until the windscreen is completely clear of ice before activating the automatic rain sensitive wipers.
Operating fault
If a fault occurs with the automatic rain sensitive wipers, the wipers will operate in intermittent mode.Have it checked by an authorized Toyota dealer or repairer, or another duly qualified and equipped professional.

Dynamic stability control (DSC) and anti-slip regulation (ASR)
Activation
These systems are activated automatically each time the vehicle is started.As soon as they detect a problem of grip or trajectory, these systems act on the operation of the engine and brakes.
This is indicated by flashing of this warning lamp in the instrument panel.
Deactivation
In exceptional conditions (starting a vehicle which is bogged down, stuck in snow, on soft ground...), it may be advisable to deactivate the DSC system, so that the wheels can move freely and regain grip.But it is recommended that the system be reactivated as soon as possible.
Operating fault
Reactivation
F Press this button.
F Turn the knob to this position.
Or
The indicator lamp in the button or the knob
comes on: the DSC system no longer acts on the operation of the engine.
The system is reactivated automatically each time the ignition is switched back on or from 30 mph (50 km/h).However, below 30 mph (50 km/h) you can manually reactivate the system.
F Press this button.
Or
F Turn the knob to this position.
The indicator lamp in the button or the knob goes off.
The DSC system offers exceptional safety in normal driving, but this should not encourage the driver to take extra risks or drive at high speed.The correct operation of the system depends on observation of the manufacturer's recommendations regarding the wheels (tyres and rims), the braking components, the electronic components and the Toyota assembly and repair procedures.After an impact, have the system checked by an authorized Toyota dealer or repairer, or another duly qualified and equipped professional.
If this warning lamp comes on, accompanied by an audible signal and a message in the screen, this indicates a fault with the system.Contact an authorized Toyota dealer or repairer, or another duly qualified and equipped professional to have the system checked.

Special patented traction control system which improves traction on snow, mud and sand.This system, the operation of which has been optimised for each situation, allows you to manoeuvre in most conditions of poor grip (encountered during touring use).
This mode is calibrated for a low level of wheel spin, based on the different levels of grip normally encountered on the road.
F Place the knob in this position.
This mode adapts its strategy to the conditions of grip encountered for each of the two front wheels on moving off.(mode active up to 30 mph (50 km/h))
F Place the knob in this position.
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 to confirm your choice.
The accelerator pedal should be pressed sufficiently to allow the system to use the power of the engine. Operation at high engine speeds is completely normal.
Different modes are provided:
SnowStandard (ESC)
Every time the ignition is switched off, the system automatically resets to this mode.
Associated with all-seasons Peak Mountain Snow Flake tyres, this system offers a compromise between safety, adhesion and traction. These tyres work equally well in winter and summer.

This mode, when moving off, allows considerable spin on the wheel with the least grip to optimise clearing of the mud and regain grip. At the same time, the wheel with the most grip is controlled in such a way as to transmit
as much torque as possible.When moving, the system optimises wheel spin to respond to the driver's requirements as fully as possible.(mode active up to 50 mph (80 km/h))
F Place the knob in this position.
This mode allows little spin on the two driving wheels at the same time to allow the vehicle to move for ward and limit the risks of getting stuck in the sand.(mode active up to 75 mph (120 km/h))
F Place the knob in this position.
Do not use the other modes on sand as the vehicle may become stuck.
You can deactivate certain functions of the ESC (ASR and DSC) by turning the knob to the "OFF" position.These functions are reactivated automatically from 30 mph (50 km/h) or every time the ignition is switched back on.
All terrain (mud, damp grass, ...)Sand
Driving advice
Your vehicle is designed principally to drive on tarmac roads but it allows you to drive on other less passable terrain occasionally.However, it does not permit off-road driving such as:- crossing and driving on terrain which could damage the underbody or strip away components (fuel pipe, fuel cooler...) due to obstacles or stones in particular,- driving on terrain with steep gradients and poor grip,- crossing a stream.

Unfastening
F Press the red button on the buckle.F Guide the seat belt as it reels in.
The front seat belts are fitted with a pretensioning and force limiting system.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 pretensioning system instantly tightens the seat belts against the body of the occupants.The pretensioning seat belts are active when the ignition is on.The force limiter reduces the pressure of the seat belt on the chest of the occupant, so improving their protection.
Height adjustment
The upper part of the diagonal strap should lie across the shoulder.
F To lower the attachment point, while moving control A downwards, slide the assembly down to the desired position.F To raise the attachment point, slide the assembly up to the desired position.
F Pull the strap, then insert the tongue in the buckle.F Check that the seat belt is fastened correctly by pulling the strap.
