Lane Departure Alert
System that uses a camera to recognise continuous or broken lines on traffic lanes and triggers an alert if the vehicle wanders off line.If the direction indicator is not used at speeds above 37 mph (60 km/h) and there is a risk of one of these lines on the ground being crossed, the system triggers the alert.The system is particularly useful on motor ways and fast roads.
Detection - Alert
You are alerted by the flashing of this warning lamp in the instrument panel, accompanied by an audible signal.
No alert is given while the direction indicators are operating and for approximately 20 seconds after the direction indicators are switched off.
The Lane Departure Alert cannot in any circumstances replace the need for vigilance on the part of the driver.It is necessary to observe the driving regulations and to take a break every two hours.

This system indicates the proximity of an obstacle (examples: pedestrian, vehicle, tree, gate) which comes within the field of detection of sensors located in the bumper.Certain types of obstacle (examples: stake, roadworks cone) detected initially will no longer be detected at the end of the manoeuvre, if they are located in blind spots in the
sensors' field of detection.
Parking sensors
The system is switched on by engaging reverse g e a r.This is confirmed by an audible signal.The system is switched off when you come out of reverse gear.
Audible assistance
Rear parking sensors
This supplements the audible signal by displaying bars in the screen or the instrument panel which move progressively nearer to the vehicle. When the obstacle is near, the "Danger" symbol is displayed.
Visual assistance
This system cannot in any circumstances replace the need for vigilance on the part of the driver.
The proximity information is given by an intermittent audible signal, the frequency of which increases as the vehicle approaches the obstacle.The sound emitted by the speaker (right or left) indicates the side on which the obstacle is located.
When the distance between the vehicle and the obstacle becomes less than approximately thirty centimetres, the audible signal becomes continuous.

Checking levels
Take care when working under the bonnet, as certain areas of the engine may be extremely hot (risk of burns) and the cooling fan could start at any time (even with the ignition off).
Engine oil level
The check is carried out either when the ignition is switched on using the oil level indicator in the instrument panel for vehicles so equipped, or using the dipstick.
Checking using the dipstick
The location of the dipstick is shown in the corresponding underbonnet layout view.F Take the dipstick by its coloured grip and remove it completely.F Wipe the end of the dipstick using a clean non-fluffy cloth.F Refit the dipstick and push fully down, then pull it out again to make the visual check: the correct level is between the marks A and B.
Check all of these levels regularly, in line with the manufacturer's service schedule. Top them up if necessary, unless other wise indicated.If a level drops significantly, have the corresponding system checked by an authorized Toyota dealer or repairer, or another duly qualified and equipped professional.
A = MA X
To ensure that the reading is correct, your vehicle must be parked on a level sur face with the engine having been off for more than 30 minutes.
It is normal to top-up the oil level between two services (or oil changes). Toyota recommends that you check the level, and top-up if necessary, every 3 000 miles (5 000 kms).
B = MIN
If you find that the level is above the A mark or below the B mark, do not star t the engine.- If the level is above the MAX mark (risk of damage to the engine), contact an authorized Toyota dealer or repairer, or another duly qualified and equipped professional.- If the level is below the MIN mark, you must top-up the engine oil.
