When towing
Distribution of loads
F Distribute the load in the trailer so that the heaviest items are as close as possible to the axle and the nose weight approaches the maximum permitted without exceeding it.Air density decreases with altitude, thus reducing engine performance. Above 1 000 metres, the maximum towed load must be reduced by 10 % for every 1 000 metres of altitude.
Side wind
F Take into account the increased sensitivity to side wind.
Cooling
Towing a trailer on a slope increases the temperature of the coolant.As the fan is electrically controlled, its cooling capacity is not dependent on the engine speed.F To lower the engine speed, reduce your speed.The maximum towed load on a long incline depends on the gradient and the ambient temperature.In all cases, keep a check on the coolant temperature.
F If the warning lamp and the STOP warning lamp come on, stop the vehicle and switch off the engine as soon as possible.
Braking
Towing a trailer increases the braking distance.To avoid overheating of the brakes, the use of engine braking is recommended.
Ty r e s
F Check the tyre pressures of the towing vehicle and of the trailer, observing the recommended pressures.
Lighting
F Check the electrical lighting and signalling on the trailer and the headlamp beam height of your vehicle.
For more information on Weights, refer to the corresponding section.
The rear parking sensors will be deactivated automatically to avoid the audible signal if a genuine Toyota towbar is used.
If the ambient temperature is high, it is recommended that the engine be allowed to idle for 1 to 2 minutes after the vehicle comes to a stop, to facilitate its cooling.
For more information on Adjusting the headlamp beam height, refer to the corresponding section.

Deactivation / Activation of
the alert and the braking
By default, the function is automatically activated at every engine start.
Autonomous emergency braking system with Pedestrian Detection
If the driver does not brake sufficiently to avoid an accident, this system will complete the braking.This emergency braking system will not act if you press the brake pedal.
In the event of a fault, you are alerted by the illumination of this warning lamp, accompanied by an audible signal and a message.Contact an authorized Toyota dealer or repairer, or another duly qualified and equipped professional.
Operating fault
There may be interference in the operation of the camera or it not work at all in the following situations:- poor visibility (inadequate street lighting, falling snow or rain, fog, ...),- dazzle (headlamps of an approaching vehicle on the other side of the road, low sun, reflection on a wet road, leaving a tunnel, alternating between light and shade, ...),- the area in front of the windscreen: dirty, misty, frosty, snow-covered, damaged or covered by a sticker.The operation of the radar, located in the front bumper, may be disturbed in certain weather conditions: with accumulations of snow, ice, mud, ...
With audio system or touch screen
This system can be deactivated or activated via the vehicle configuration menu.

Using a camera placed at the top of the windscreen, the system assesses the driver's level of vigilance by identifying variations in trajectory compared to the lane markings.This system is particularly suited to fast roads (speed higher than 40 mph (65 km/h)).
Driver Attention Alert
Depending on version, the "Driving time warning system" may be combined with the "Driver Attention Alert".
The system cannot, in any circumstances, replace the need for vigilance on the part of the driver.Do not drive if you are tired or taking medicines that can cause drowsiness.
Once the system considers that the behaviour of the vehicle suggests a certain level of fatigue or inattention by the driver, it triggers the first level of alert.
After three first level alerts, the system triggers a new alert with the message "Take a break!", accompanied by a more pronounced audible
signal.
In certain driving conditions (poor road sur face or strong winds), the system may give alerts independent of the driver's level of vigilance.
The following situations may interfere with operation of the system or prevent it working:- poor visibility (inadequate lighting of the roadway, falling snow, heavy rain, dense fog, ...),- dazzle (headlamps of an oncoming vehicle, low sun, reflections on a damp road, leaving a tunnel, alternating shade and light, ...),- windscreen area located in front of the camera: dirty, misted, frost-covered, snow-covered, damaged or covered by a sticker,- lane markings absent, worn, masked (snow, mud) or multiple
(roadworks, ...),- close to the vehicle ahead (lane markings not detected),- roads that are narrow, winding, ...
The driver is then alerted by the message "Ta k e c a r e !", accompanied by an audible signal.
