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.

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 per formance. 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, obser ving 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.

Avoid attaching heavy objects to the key, which would weigh down on its blade in the ignition switch and could cause a malfunction.
Switching off the engine leads to a loss of braking assistance.
Key left in the "Ignition on" position
If the key has been left in the ignition switch at position 2 (Ignition on), the ignition will be switched off automatically after one hour.To switch the ignition back on, turn the key to position 1 (Stop), then back to position 2 (Ignition on).Never switch off the ignition until the vehicle has been brought to a complete stop.
F Turn the key fully towards you to position 1 (Stop).F Remove the key from the ignition switch.F To lock the steering column, turn the steering wheel until it locks.
Switching off using the key
F Immobilise the vehicle.
To facilitate unlocking of the steering wheel, it is recommended that you place the wheels in the straight ahead position before switching off the engine.
F Check that the parking brake is correctly applied, particularly when parking on a slope.
When leaving the vehicle, remove the key and lock the doors.As a safety measure (children on board), never leave the vehicle without your remote control with you, even for a short period.
To avoid any risk of jamming of the pedals:- only use mats which are suited to the fixings already present in the vehicle; these fixings must be used,- never fit one mat on top of another.The use of mats not approved by Toyota may inter fere with access to the pedals and hinder the operation of the cruise control / speed limiter.The mats approved by Toyota have two fixings located below the seat.

Hill start assist control (HAC)
System which keeps your vehicle immobilised temporarily (approximately 2 seconds) when starting on a gradient, the time it takes to move your foot from the brake pedal to the accelerator pedal.It only operates when:- the vehicle is completely stationary, with your foot on the brake pedal,- the driver’s door is closed.This Hill start assist control cannot be deactivated.
On a descending slope, with the vehicle stationary and reverse gear engaged, the vehicle is held momentarily when you release the brake pedal.
On an ascending slope, with the vehicle stationar y, the vehicle is held for a momentarily when you release the brake pedal.
Operating fault
F If your vehicle has a manual gearbox, place the lever in the first gear position or in neutral.
F If your vehicle has an automatic gearbox,
place the selector at position D or select manual operation M.
F If your vehicle has an electronic gearbox, place the selector at position A or M.
If a fault in the system occurs, this warning lamp comes on accompanied by a message. Contact an authorized Toyota dealer or repairer, or another duly qualified and equipped professional as soon as possible to have the system checked.
Do not leave the vehicle while it is being held in the Hill start assist control phase.If you need to get out of the vehicle with the engine running, apply the parking brake manually then ensure that the parking brake indicator lamp is on.
If your vehicle has an automatic gearbox and you have to move off on a steep slope (rising or falling) with a loaded vehicle, press the brake pedal, select position D, release the parking brake then release the brake pedal.

When the ignition is on, a message appears in the instrument panel screen to indicate a gearbox fault.
Operating fault
In this case, the gearbox switches to back-up mode and is locked in 3rd gear. You may feel a substantial knock when changing from P to R and from N to R. This will not cause any damage to the gearbox.Do not exceed 60 mph (100 km/h), local speed restrictions permitting.Have it checked by an authorized Toyota dealer or repairer, or another duly qualified and equipped professional.
You risk damaging the gearbox:- if you press the accelerator and brake pedals at the same time (braking or acceleration must be done only with the right foot),- if you force the selector from position P to another position when the battery is flat.
To reduce fuel consumption when stationary for long periods with the engine running (traffic jam...), position the selector at N and apply the parking brake.
Stopping the vehicle
A stiff point may be noticed when moving to position P.If the selector is not in position P, when the driver's door is opened or approximately 45 seconds after the ignition is switched off, there is an audible signal and a message appears.F Return the selector to position P; the audible signal stops and the message disappears.
Before switching off the engine, select position P then apply the parking brake to immobilise the vehicle.
In all circumstances, ensure that the selector is in position P before leaving your vehicle.
On a steep slope with a loaded vehicle, press the brake pedal, select position P, apply the parking brake then release the brake pedal.

In the event of a fault with the adaptive cruise control, you are alerted by an audible signal and display of the message message "Driving aid functions fault".Have the system checked by an authorized Toyota dealer or repairer, or another duly qualified and equipped professional.
Operating faultThe adaptive cruise control operates by day and at night, in fog or moderate rainfall.
When the cruise control is working, take care if making a maintained press on one of the cruise control programmed speed modification buttons: this can lead to a very quick change in the speed of your vehicle.Do not use the adaptive cruise control on slippery sur faces or in heavy traffic.
When descending a steep hill, the cruise control may not be able to prevent the vehicle from exceeding the programmed speed.When ascending a steep hill or when towing, it might not be possible to achieve or maintain the programmed speed.
The use of mats not approved by Toyota may inter fere with the operation of the adaptive cruise control.
To avoid any risk of jamming the pedals:- ensure that mats are secured c o r r e c t l y,- never fit one mat on top of another.It is recommended that you always keep your feet close to the pedals.
If the difference between the programmed speed setting and the speed of the vehicle in front is too great, the speed cannot be adjusted: the cruise control is automatically deactivated.
The system does not act on the braking system, but works only with engine braking.The regulation range is limited: there will no longer be any adjustment of speed if the difference between the programmed speed setting and the speed of the vehicle in front becomes too high.
The adaptive cruise control cannot in any circumstances replace the obser vation of speed limits, nor the need for the vigilance on the part of the driver.
