Operating fault
Have it checked by an authorized Toyota dealer or repairer, or another duly qualified and equipped professional.
The system may suffer temporary interference in certain weather conditions (rain, hail...).In particular, driving on a wet sur face or moving from a dry area to a wet area can cause false alerts (for example, the presence of a fog of water droplets in the blind spot angle is interpreted as a vehicle).In bad or wintry weather, ensure that the sensors are not covered by mud, ice or snow.Take care not to cover the warning zone in the door mirrors or the detection zones on the front and rear bumpers with adhesive labels or other objects; they may hamper the correct operation of the system.

Tyre Pressure Warning System (TPWS)
The system monitors the pressures in the four tyres, once the vehicle is moving.It compares the information given by the four wheel speed sensors with reference values, which must be reinitialised ever y time the tyre pressures are adjusted or a wheel changed.The system triggers an alert as soon as it detects a drop in the inflation pressure of one or more tyres.
The Tyre Pressure Warning System (TPWS) does not replace the need for vigilance on the part of the driver.This system does not avoid the need to check the tyre pressures (including the spare wheel) every month as well as before a long journey.
Driving with under-inflated tyres impairs road holding, extends braking distances and causes premature tyre wear, particularly under arduous conditions (high loading, high speed, long journey).
System which automatically checks the pressures of the tyres while driving.
The tyre pressures defined for your vehicle can be found on the tyre pressure label.For more information on the Identification markings, refer to the corresponding section.Tyre pressures should be checked when the tyres are "cold" (vehicle stopped for 1 hour or after a journey of less than 6 miles (10 km) at moderate speeds).Other wise (when hot), add 0.3 bar to the pressures shown on the label.
Driving with under-inflated tyres increases fuel consumption.Snow chains
The system does not have to be
reinitialised after fitting or removing snow chains.
Spare wheel
The steel spare wheel does not have an tyre pressure warning sensor.

It is still possible to use a fuel can to fill the tank but this must be done slowly.In order to ensure a good flow of fuel, do not place the nozzle of the fuel can in direct contact with the flap of the misfuel prevention device.
Travelling abroad
As Diesel fuel pump nozzles may be different in other countries, the presence of the misfuel prevention device may make refuelling impossible.Before travelling abroad, we recommend that you check with the Toyota dealer network, whether your vehicle is suitable for the fuel pumps in the country in which you want to travel.
Fuel used for Diesel
engines
The Diesel engines are compatible with biofuels that conform to current and future European standards and and can be obtained from filling stations:
The use of B20 or B30 fuel meeting standard EN16709 is possible in your Diesel engine. However, this use, even occasional, requires strict application of the special servicing conditions referred to as "Arduous conditions".For more information, contact an authorized Toyota dealer or repairer, or another duly qualified and equipped professional.
The use of any other type of (bio)fuel (vegetable or animal oils, pure or diluted, domestic fuel...) is strictly prohibited (risk of damage to the engine and fuel system).
The only Diesel additives authorised for
use are those that meet the B715000 standard.
- Diesel fuel that meets standard EN590 mixed with a biofuel that meets standard EN14214 (possibly containing up to 7 % Fatty Acid Methyl Ester),
- Diesel fuel that meets standard EN16734 mixed with a biofuel that meets standard EN14214 (possibly containing up to 10 % Fatty Acid Methyl Ester),
- Paraffinic Diesel fuel that meets standard EN15940 mixed with a biofuel that meets standard EN14214 (possibly containing up to 7 % Fatty Acid Methyl Ester).

Snow chains
In wintry conditions, snow chains improve traction as well as the behaviour of the vehicle when braking.
The snow chains must be fitted only to the front wheels.
Take account of the legislation in force in your country on the use of snow chains and the maximum running speed authorised.
Avoid driving with snow chains on roads that have been cleared of snow, to avoid damaging your vehicle's tyres and the road sur face. If your vehicle is fitted with alloy wheels, check that no part of the chain or its fixings is in contact with the wheel rim.
Use only the chains designed to be fitted to the type of wheel fitted to your vehicle:
You can also use snow socks.For more information on snow chains, contact an authorized Toyota dealer or repairer, or another duly qualified and equipped professional.
Advice on installation
F If you have to fit the chains during a journey, stop the vehicle on a flat sur face on the side of the road.F Apply the parking brake and position any wheel chocks to prevent movement of your vehicle.F Fit the chains following the instructions provided by the manufacturer.F Move off gently and drive for a few
moments, without exceeding 30 mph (50 km/h).F Stop your vehicle and check that the snow chains are correctly tightened.
Original tyre sizeType of chain.
215/65 R1612 mm links
215/60 R17-225/55 R17
It is strongly recommended that before
you leave, you practise fitting the snow chains on a level and dry sur face.

Energy economy mode
System which manages the duration of use of certain functions to conser ve a sufficient level of charge in the battery.After the engine has stopped, you can still use functions such as the audio and telematics system, windscreen wipers, dipped beam headlamps, courtesy lamps, etc. for a maximum combined duration of about forty minutes.
Switching to economy
mode
A message appears in the instrument panel screen indicating that the vehicle has switched to economy mode and the active functions are put on standby.If a telephone call is being made at this time, it will be maintained for around 10 minutes with the Bluetooth hands-free system of your audio system.
Exiting economy mode
These functions are reactivated automatically next time the vehicle is driven.In order to restore the use of these functions immediately, start the engine and let it run:- for less than ten minutes, to use the equipment for approximately five minutes,- for more than ten minutes, to use the equipment for up to approximately thirty minutes.Let the engine run for the duration specified to ensure that the battery charge is sufficient.Do not repeatedly and continuously restart the engine in order to charge the battery.

Changing the coolant
The coolant does not have to be replaced at routine services.
Fluid specification
The coolant must conform to the manufacturer's recommendations.
The check and top-up must be done with the engine cold.A low coolant level presents the risk of serious damage to your engine.
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.
Avoid prolonged contact of used oil or fluids with the skin.Most of these fluids are harmful to health or indeed very corrosive.
Do not discard used oil or fluids into sewers or onto the ground.Take used oil to an authorized Toyota dealer or repairer, or another duly qualified and equipped professional (France) or to an authorised waste disposal site.

Checks
12 V battery
The battery does not require any maintenance.However, check regularly that the terminals are correctly tightened (versions without quick release terminals) and that the connections are clean.
Refer to the manufacturer's ser vice schedule for details of the replacement inter vals for these components.
Air filter and passenger compartment filter
Replace the oil filter each time the engine oil is changed.Refer to the manufacturer's ser vice schedule for details of the replacement inter val for this component.
Oil filter
Particle filter (Diesel)
The start of saturation of the particle filter is indicated by the temporary illumination of this warning lamp accompanied by a message in the multifunction screen.
As soon as the traffic conditions permit, regenerate the filter by driving at a speed of at least 40 mph (60 km/h) until
the warning lamp goes off.If the warning lamp stays on, this indicates a low additive level.For more information on Checking levels, refer to the corresponding section.
On a new vehicle, the first particle filter regeneration operations may be accompanied by a "burning" smell, which is per fectly normal.Following prolonged operation of the vehicle at very low speed or at idle, you may, in exceptional circumstances, notice the emission of water vapour at the exhaust on acceleration. This does not affect the behaviour of the vehicle or the environment.
Unless other wise indicated, check these components in accordance with the manufacturer's service schedule and according to your engine.Other wise, have them checked by an authorized Toyota dealer or repairer, or another duly qualified and equipped professional.
For more information and the precautions to take before starting work on the 12 V batter y, refer to the corresponding section.
Depending on the environment (e.g. dusty atmosphere) and the use of the vehicle (e.g. city driving), replace them twice as often if necessary.A clogged passenger compartment filter may have an adverse effect on the per formance of the air conditioning system and generate undesirable odours.
Versions equipped with Stop & Start are fitted with a 12 V lead-acid battery of specific technology and specification.Its replacement should be carried out only by an authorized Toyota dealer or repairer, or another duly qualified and equipped professional.
