In good or rainy weather, both day and night, the front foglamps and the rear foglamps are prohibited. In these situations, the power of their beams may dazzle other drivers. They should only be used in fog or snow.In these weather conditions, it is your responsibility to switch on the foglamps and dipped headlamps manually as the sunshine sensor may detect sufficient light.Do not forget to switch off the front foglamps and the rear foglamps when they are no longer needed.
Lighting left on audible signal
An audible signal when a front door is opened warns the driver that the vehicle's exterior lighting is on, with the ignition off and in manual lighting mode.In this case, switching off the lighting stops the audible signal.
Travelling abroad
If using your vehicle in a country that drives on the other side of the road, the headlamps must be adjusted to avoid dazzling on-coming drivers.
Contact an authorized Toyota dealer or repairer, or another duly qualified and equipped professional.
The lighting goes off when you switch off the ignition, but you can always switch it on again using the lighting control stalk.

Airbags
System designed to contribute towards improving the safety of the occupants (with the exception of the centre seat in rows 2 and 3, if so equipped) in the event of violent collisions. The airbags supplement the action of the seat belts fitted with force limiters.If a collision occurs, the electronic detectors record and analyse the front and side impacts sustained in the impact detection zones:- in the case of a serious impact, the airbags are deployed instantly and contribute towards better protection of the occupants of the vehicle (with the exception of the centre seat in rows 2 and 3, if so equipped); immediately after the impact, the airbags deflate rapidly so that they do not hinder visibility or the exit of the occupants,- in the case of a minor or rear impact or in certain roll-over conditions, the airbags may not be deployed; the seat belt
alone contributes towards ensuring your protection in these situations.
The airbags do not operate when the ignition is switched off.
This equipment will only deploy once. If a second impact occurs (during the same or a subsequent accident), the airbag will not be deployed again.
Deployment of one or more of the airbags is accompanied by a slight emission of smoke and a noise, due to the activation of the pyrotechnic cartridge incorporated in the system.This smoke is not harmful, but sensitive individuals may experience slight irritation.The noise of detonation related to the deployment of one or more airbags may result in a slight loss of hearing for a short time.
Impact detection zones
A. Front impact zone.
B. Side impact zone.

Driving recommendations
Obser ve the driving regulations and remain vigilant whatever the traffic conditions.Pay close attention to the traffic and keep your hands on the wheel so that you are ready to react at any time to any eventuality.On a long journey, a break every two hours is strongly recommended.In difficult weather, drive smoothly, anticipate the need to brake and increase the distance from other vehicles.
Never drive with the parking brake applied - Risk of overheating and damage to the braking system!Risk of fire!As the exhaust system of your vehicle is very hot, even several minutes after
switching off the engine, do not park or run the engine over areas where inflammable substances and materials are present: grass, leaves, etc.
Never leave a vehicle unsuper vised with the engine running. If you have to leave your vehicle with the engine running, apply the parking brake and put the gearbox into neutral or position N or P, depending on the type of gearbox.
Driving on flooded roads
We strongly advise against driving on flooded roads, as this could cause serious damage to the engine or gearbox, as well as to the electrical systems of your vehicle.
Important!If you are obliged to drive through water:
- check that the depth of water does not exceed 15 cm, taking account of waves that might be generated by other users,- deactivate the Stop & Start system,- drive as slowly as possible without stalling. In all cases, do not exceed 6 mph (10 km/h),- do not stop and do not switch off the engine.On leaving the flooded road, as soon as circumstances allow, make several light brake applications to dry the brake discs and pads.If in doubt on the state of your vehicle, contact an authorized Toyota dealer or repairer, or another duly qualified and equipped professional.

F Turn the key to position 2, ignition on, to operate the engine pre-heating.
F Wait until this warning lamp goes off in the instrument panel then operate the starter motor by turning the key to position 3 until the engine starts, without pressing the accelerator. Once the engine starts, release the key.
The warning lamp does not come on if the engine is already warm. Depending on the climatic conditions, it is recommended that you proceed as follows:- In temperate conditions, do not run the engine with the vehicle stationary to warm it up, but rather move off straight away and drive at moderate engine speeds.- In wintry conditions, the pre-heater warning lamp will stay on for a longer period after switching on the ignition; wait until it goes off before starting.- In ver y severe wintr y conditions (temperature below -23°C), to ensure the correct operation and durability of the mechanical components of your vehicle (engine and gearbox), leave the engine running for 4 minutes before moving off.
Never leave the engine running in an enclosed area without adequate ventilation: internal combustion engines emit toxic exhaust gases, such as carbon monoxide. Danger of intoxication and death.
If the engine does not start straight away, switch off the ignition.Wait a few moments before trying again. If the engine does not start after a few attempts, do not keep trying: you risk damaging the starter motor and the engine.Call on an authorized Toyota dealer or repairer, or another duly qualified and equipped professional.
