NOTES
This symbol on a vehicle compo-
nent indicates that further informa-
tion on the component is available
in the Owner's Manual.
This Owner's Manual describes all
models and all the national and
special equipment available for the
model series. As a result, this
Owner's Manual may also contain
descriptions and illustrations of
equipment and functions not fea-
tured in a vehicle, for example due
to selected special equipment or
the country specification.
This also applies to safety-relevant
functions and systems.
Please comply with the relevant
laws and regulations when using
the corresponding functions and
systems.
If certain equipment and models
are not described in this Owner's
Manual, refer to the Supplementary
Owner's Manuals provided.
In right-hand drive vehicles, some
controls are arranged differently
from those shown in the illustra-
tions.
The production date of your vehicle
can be found at the bottom of the door pillar on the driver's door.
The production date is defined as
the calendar month and the calen-
dar year in which the vehicle body
and the powertrain assemblies are
joined and the vehicle is driven or
moved from the production line.
Continuous development ensures
high levels of vehicle safety and
quality. In rare instances, your vehi-
cle may therefore differ from the
information supplied here.
When reading this Owner's Manual,
please bear the following in mind:
to ensure that our vehicles continue
to embody the highest quality and
safety standards, we pursue a pol-
icy of continuous, ongoing develop-
ment. Because modifications in the
design of both vehicles and acces-
sories may be introduced at any
time, your own vehicle's equipment
may vary from that described in this
handbook. For the same reason, it
is also impossible to guarantee that
all descriptions will be completely
accurate in all respects.
We must therefore request your
understanding of the fact that the Symbol on components and

manufacturer of your vehicles una-
ble to recognise legal claims based
on discrepancies between the data,
illustrations and descriptions in this
Owner's Manual and your own
vehicle's equipment. Please note,
too, that some of the optional
equipment described in this manual
is not available on Australian mod-
els due to restrictions imposed by
Australian Design Rules and other
requirements.
Should you require any further
information, please contact your
Service centre, who will be pleased
to advise you.
Please comply with the following
when using the vehicle:
• Owner's Manual.
• Information on the vehicle. Do
not remove stickers.
• Technical data of the vehicle.
• The applicable laws and safety
standards of the country in which
the vehicle is used.
• Vehicle papers and legal docu-
ments.
Your vehicle is technically designed
for the operating conditions and
approval requirements prevalent in
the country to which it was first delivered - homologation. If your
vehicle is to be operated in another
country, it may have to be adapted
be forehand to any prevailing differ-
ent operating conditions and
approval requirements. If your vehi-
cle does not comply with the
homologation requirements in a
certain country, you cannot lodge
warranty claims for your vehicle
there. Any authorized Toyota
retailer or Toyota authorized
repairer, or any reliable repairer is
able to provide further information.
The advanced technology used in
your vehicle, for example the
state-of-the-art materials and
high-performance electronics,
requires appropriate maintenance
and repair methods.
Consequently, the manufacturer of
your vehicle recommends having
corresponding work carried out by
Toyota. If you choose to use
another specialist workshop,
Toyota recommends using one that

sensors to fail or malfunction, result-
ing in a safety risk. There is a danger
of accidents or damage to property.
For vehicles with radar sensors, only

performs work such as mainte-
nance and repair according to
Toyota specifications with properly
trained personnel. In this Owner's
Manual, facilities of this kind are
referred to as "any reliable repairer
or other qualified service shop".
If such work, for example mainte-
nance and repair, is performed
inexpertly, it could result in conse-
quential damage and thus consti-
tute a safety risk.
Toyota recommends using parts
and accessories that are specifi-
cally approved for this purpose by
To y o t a .
You are recommended to consult
Toyota for advice on genuine
Toyota parts and accessories, other
Toyota approved products and
expert advice on all related matters.
The safety and compatibility of
these products in conjunction with
Toyota vehicles have been checked
by Toyota.
Toyota accepts product responsibil-
ity for genuine Toyota parts and
accessories. Toyota cannot accept
liability for parts or accessory prod-
ucts of any kind which it has not
approved.
Toyota is unable to assess each
individual product of outside origin
as to its suitability for use on Toyota
vehicles without safety risk. Nor can suitability be assured if an offi-
cial permit has been issued for it in
a specific country. Tests performed
for such permits cannot always
cover all operating conditions for
Toyota vehicles, and some of them
therefore are insufficient.
A number of electronic control
devices are installed in your vehi-
cle. Electronic control devices pro-
cess data that they receive from
vehicle sensors, generate them-
selves or exchange with one
another, for example. Some control
devices are necessary for the vehi-
cle to function safely or provide
assistance during driving, for exam-
ple Driver Assistance Systems.
Furthermore, control devices facili-
tate comfort or infotainment func-
tions.
Information on the data saved or
exchanged can be obtained from
the vehicle manufacturer, for exam-
ple in a separate brochure.
Every vehicle has a unique vehicle
identification number. Depending
on the country, a vehicle owner can
be identified by the vehicle identifi-
cation number, the number plate

This data includes, for example:
• Status messages of the vehicle
and its individual components,
for example wheel rotation
speed, wheel speed, decelera-
tion, lateral acceleration, fas-
tened seat belt indicator.
• Ambient conditions, for example
temperature, rain sensor signals.
The data is only processed within
the vehicle itself and is usually tran-
sient. The data is not saved after
the vehicle is switched off.
Electronic parts, for example con-
trol devices and vehicle keys, con-
tain components for saving
technical information. Information
on vehicle condition, component
load, maintenance requirements,
events or errors can be saved tem-
porarily or permanently.
This information generally docu-
ments the condition of a compo-
nent, a module, a system or its
environment, for example:
• Operating states of system com-
ponents, for example, fill levels,
tyre inflation pressure, battery
status.
• Malfunctions and faults of impor-
tant system components, for
example, lights and brakes.
• Responses of the vehicle to par-
ticular driving situations, for
example triggering of an airbag,
activation of the drive stability
control systems.
• Information on vehicle-damag-ing events.
The data is required so that the
control units can perform their func-
tions. It is also used for detecting
and rectifying malfunctions, and
helps the vehicle manufacturer to
optimise vehicle functions.
The majority of this data is transient
and is only processed within the
vehicle itself. Only a small propor-
tion of the data is stored in event or
error memories in response to spe-
cific circumstances.
When service work is being carried
out, for example repairs, service
operations, warranty work and
quality assurance measures, this
technical information can be read
out from the vehicle together with
the vehicle identification number.
Any authorized Toyota retailer or
Toyota authorized repairer, or any
reliable repairer can read out the
information. The legally required
on-board diagnostics (OBD) socket
in the vehicle is used to read out
the data.
The data is collected, processed
and used by the relevant organisa-
tions in the service network. The
data documents the technical con-
ditions of the vehicle and helps in
locating errors, complying with war-
ranty obligations and improving
quality.

between the mobile device and the
vehicle, for example active access
to vehicle data.
How the data is processed further
is determined by the provider of the
particular app being used. The
range of possible settings depends
on the respective app and the oper-
ating system of the mobile device.
If the vehicle has a wireless net-
work connection, this enables data
to be exchanged between the vehi-
cle and other systems. The wire-
less network connection is
established via an in-vehicle trans-
mitter and receiver unit or via per-
sonal mobile devices brought into
the vehicle, for example
smartphones. This wireless net-
work connection enables 'online
functions' to be used. These
include online services and apps
supplied by the vehicle manufac-
turer or by other providers.
Where online services from the
vehicle manufacturer are con-
cerned, the relevant functions are
described in the appropriate place,
for example the Owner's Manual or
manufacturer's website. The rele-vant legal information pertaining to
data protection is also provided.
Personal data may be used to per-
form online services. Data is
exchanged over a secure connec-
tion, for example with the IT sys-
tems of the vehicle manufacturer
intended for this purpose.
Any collection, processing and use
of personal data above and beyond
that needed to provide the services
must always be based on legal per-
mission, a contractual arrange-
ment or consent. It is also possible
to activate or deactivate the data
connection as a whole. Excluded
from this are functions and services
which are required by law, for
example emergency call systems.
When using online services from
other providers, these services are
the responsibility of the relevant
provider and subject to their data
privacy conditions and terms of
use. The vehicle manufacturer has
no control over the content
exchanged when using these ser-
vices. Information on the way in
which personal data is collected
and used in relation to services
from third parties, the scope of such
data and its purpose, can be
obtained from the relevant service
provider. Services

The relevant ordinances and direc-
tives govern the protection of indi-
viduals in terms of processing
personal data.
The automatic emergency call sys-
tem processes personal data in
accordance with European direc-
tives on the protection of personal
data.
The automatic emergency call sys-
tem processes personal data only
with the vehicle owner's consent.
The automatic emergency call sys-
tem and other services with addi-
tional benefits may only process
personal data with the express con-
sent of the individual affected by
data processing, for example the
vehicle owner.
The automatic emergency call sys-
tem operates via mobile communi-
cations through the SIM card
installed in the vehicle. The SIM
card is permanently logged into the
mobile telephone network so a con-
nection can be established quickly.
The data is sent to the vehicle man-
ufacturer in the event of an emer-
gency.
The vehicle manufacturer also uses
the data sent as part of an emer-
gency call to improve product and
service quality.Only the provider of the mobile tele-
phone network is able to determine
the position of the vehicle based on
mobile telephone mast locations.
The network operator is not able to
link the vehicle identification num-
ber to the telephone number of the
installed SIM card. Only the vehicle
manufacturer is able to link the
vehicle identification number to the
telephone number of the installed
SIM card.
The log data for emergency calls is
saved in a vehicle memory. The
oldest log data is regularly deleted.
The log data includes information
on when and where an emergency
call was issued, for example.
In exceptional cases, the log data
can be read out from the vehicle
memory. It is usually only possible
for log data to be read out with a
court order and if the corresponding
devices are directly connected to
the vehicle.
The system has been designed so
that an emergency call is triggered

This chapter describes all standard,
country-specific and special equip-
ment available for the model series.
It may therefore describe equip-
ment and functions which are not
installed in your vehicle, for exam-
ple on account of the optional
equipment selected or the country
specification. This also applies to
safety-relevant functions and sys-
tems. Please comply with the rele-
vant laws and regulations when
using the corresponding functions
and systems.
Please also follow the supplemen-
tary Owner's Manual which are
attached in addition to the on-board
documentation as needed.
WARNING
Do not install any accessories to the
windshield.
If an accessory is installed to the
windshield or the rear view mirror, it
may block your vision of the road or
become a distraction, possibly lead-
ing to an accident. Also, if an object
such as a suction cup is attached to
the windshield, it may act as a lens
and possibly cause a fire. Do not
install a wide view mirror to the rear
view mirror as it may come loose in a
collision and cause injury.
WARNING
Do not leave lighters in the vehicle.
When the vehicle is parked under
direct sunlight, the temperature inside
the vehicle can become extremely
high. Therefore, it is very dangerous
to leave objects which contain com-
bustible materials, such as a lighter, in
the vehicle as they may explode or
catch fire. Also, if a lighter were to get
caught in the moving parts of a seat,
when the seat is moved, the lighter
may break and cause a fire.
