Rear screen demist - defrost
Switching on
Switching off
F Press this button to demist /defrost the rear screen and the door mirrors (if your vehicle is so equipped); its indicator lamp comes on.
The demisting/defrosting switches off automatically to prevent an excessive consumption of current.
Rear screen demisting and defrosting only operates with the engine running.
Switch off the heating of the rear screen and door mirrors as soon as you judge it possible, as reducing the consumption of electrical current reduces fuel consumption.
F It is possible to stop the demisting/defrosting operation before it is switched off automatically by pressing this button again; its indicator lamp goes off.

In order for these systems to be fully effective, follow the operation and maintenance guidelines below:F To obtain an even air distribution, take care not to obstruct the exterior air intake grilles located at the base of the windscreen, the nozzles, the vents and the air outlets, as well as the air extractor located at the rear.F Do not cover the sunshine sensor, located at the top of the windscreen; this is used for regulation of the air conditioning system.F Operate the air conditioning system for at least 5 to 10 minutes, once or twice a month
to keep it in per fect working order.F Ensure that the passenger compartment filter is in good condition and have the filter elements replaced regularly. We recommend the use of a combined passenger compartment filter. Thanks to its special active additive, it contributes to the purification of the air breathed by the occupants and the cleanliness of the passenger compartment (reduction of allergic symptoms, bad odours and greasy deposits).F To ensure correct operation of the air conditioning system, you are also advised to have it checked regularly as recommended in the maintenance and warranty guide.F If the system does not produce cold air, switch it off and contact an authorized Toyota dealer or repairer, or another duly qualified and equipped professional.
Recommendations for heating, ventilation and air conditioning
If after an extended stop in sunshine, the interior temperature is very high, first ventilate the passenger compartment for a few moments.Put the air flow control at a setting high enough to quickly change the air in the passenger compartment.The air conditioning system does not contain chlorine and does not present any danger to the ozone layer.
The condensation created by the air conditioning results in a discharge of water under the vehicle which is per fectly normal.
When towing the maximum load on a steep gradient in high temperatures, switching off the air conditioning increases the available engine power and so improves the towing ability.
Stop & Start
The heating and air conditioning systems only work when the engine is running.To maintain a comfortable temperature in the passenger compartment, you can temporarily deactivate the Stop & Start system.For more information on Stop & Star t, refer to the corresponding section.
Air vents
To close a vent, move the control towards the outside of the vehicle. Slight resistance may be felt.

Heating
This is an additional and separate system which heats the engine hot water circuit to heat the passenger compartment and improve defrosting.
This indicator lamp is on when if the system is programmed to come on for heating.This indicator lamp flashes while the heating is operating.
Fuel burner heater/Remote controlled fuel burner heater
Ventilation
This system allows ventilation of the passenger compartment to improve the temperature
experienced on entering the vehicle in summer.
Programming
Audio system
F Press on the MENU button to go to the main menu.
F Select "Pre-heat. / Pre-ventil.".
F Select "Heating" to heat the engine and passenger compartment or "Ventilation" to ventilate the passenger compartment.
F Select:- the 1st clock to programme/memorise the time at which the pre-heating temperature will be reached,- the 2nd clock to programme/memorise a second time at which the pre-heating temperature will be reached.
Using these two clocks and depending on the season you can, for example, select one or the other start time.A message in the screen confirms your choice.
F Select "Activation" and if necessary for programming, select "Parameters".

Always switch off the programmable heating while refuelling to avoid any risk of fire or explosion.To avoid the risk of intoxication and asphyxiation, the programmable heating must not be used, even for short periods, in an enclosed area such as a garage or workshop not equipped with exhaust gas extraction.Do not park the vehicle on an inflammable sur face (dry grass, dead leaves, paper…), there is a risk of fire.Glazed sur faces such as the rear screen or windscreen can become very hot in places.Take care not to place objects in contact with these sur faces, nor touch them with your hands or any other part of your body.
The heating is activated provided that:- the battery is sufficiently charged,- the fuel level is adequate,- the engine has been started since the previous heating cycle.
The programmable heating system is supplied by the vehicle's fuel tank.Before use, ensure that there is enough fuel in the tank.If the tank is on reser ve, it is recommended that the system is not used.
The ventilation is activated provided that the battery is sufficiently charged.

headlamps
Activation
When a low level of ambient light is detected by a sunshine sensor, the number plate lamps, sidelamps and dipped beam headlamps are switched on automatically, without any action on the part of the driver. They can also come on if rain is detected, at the same time as automatic operation of the windscreen wipers.As soon as the brightness returns to a
sufficient level or after the windscreen wipers are switched off, the lamps are switched off automatically.
Deactivation
F Turn the ring to another position. Deactivation of the function is accompanied by the display of a message.

In fog or snow, the sunshine sensor may detect sufficient light. In this case, the lighting will not come on automatically.Do not cover the sunshine sensor, coupled with the rain sensor and located in the top of the windscreen behind the rear view mirror; the
associated functions would no longer be controlled.

In area 1, the heating frees the wiper blades when they are stuck by snow or ice.In area 2, the heating improves visibility by avoiding the accumulation of snow when the
wipers are operating.
Switching on
F With the engine running, press this button; its indicator lamp comes on.The period of operation depends on the ambient temperature.Pressing this button again switches the function off; its indicator lamp goes off.
Special position of the
windscreen wipers
This position permits release of the windscreen wiper blades.It is used for cleaning or replacement of the wiper blades. It can also be useful, in winter, to release the wiper blades from the windscreen.
To maintain the effectiveness of the wiper blades, it is advisable to:- handle them with care,- clean them regularly using soapy water,- avoid using them to retain cardboard on the windscreen,- replace them at the first signs of w e a r.
F Any action on the wiper stalk within one minute after switching off the ignition places the wiper blades vertically on the screen.F To park the wiper blades again, switch on the ignition and operate the wiper stalk.

Electronic stability control (ESC)
Definitions
Anti-lock braking system (ABS) and electronic brake force distribution (EBFD)
This system improves the stability and manoeuvrability of your vehicle when braking and contributes towards improved control on corners, in particular on poor or slippery road surfaces.The ABS prevents wheel lock in the event of emergency braking.The EBFD manages the braking pressure wheel by wheel.
Emergency braking assistance (EBA) / Brake assist
In an emergency, this system enables you to reach the optimum braking pressure more quickly and therefore reduce the stopping distance.It is triggered according to the speed at which the brake pedal is pressed. This is felt by a reduction in the resistance of the pedal and an increase in the effectiveness of the braking.
Anti-slip regulation (ASR) / Traction Control (TRC)
The ASR system (also known as Traction Control) optimises traction in order to limit wheel slip by acting on the brakes of the driving wheels and on the engine. It also improves the directional stability of the vehicle on acceleration.
Dynamic stability control (DSC) / Vehicle Stability Control (VSC)
If there is a difference between the path followed by the vehicle and that required by the driver, the DSC monitors each wheel and automatically acts on the brake of one or more
wheels and on the engine to return the vehicle to the required path, within the limits of the laws of physics.
