NOTIC E
It is strongly recommended that before you leave, you practise fitting the snow chains on a level and dry surface.
WARNI NG
Avoid driving with snow chains on roads that
have been cleared of snow to avoid damaging your vehicle's tyres and the road surface. 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:
Original tyre sizeMaximum link size (mm)
195/65 R159
205/60 R16
205/55 R17
215/65 R16
215/60 R17cannot be fitted with chains
You can also use snow socks.For more information, contact a TOYOTA dealer or a qualified workshop.
Towing device
Load distribution► 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. The maximum towed load must be reduced by 10 % for every 1,000 metres (3,280 ft) of altitude.
NOTIC E
Use towing devices and their unmodified harnesses approved by TOYOTA. It is recommended that the installation be performed by a TOYOTA dealer or a qualified workshop.If the towing device is not fitted by a TOYOTA dealer, it must still be fitted in accordance with the vehicle manufacturer's instructions.Certain driving assistance or manoeuvring assistance functions are automatically disabled if an approved towbar is used.
WARNI NG
Observe the maximum authorised towable weight, indicated on your vehicle's registration certificate, the manufacturer's label as well as in the Technical data section of this guide.Complying with the maximum authorised nose weight (towball) also includes the use of accessories (bicycle carriers, tow boxes, etc.).
WARNI NG
Observe the legislation in force in the country in which you are driving.

Overload indicator

The overload indicator is a driving aid and informs you that the maximum authorised weight has been exceeded; this may be either the gross vehicle weight (GVW) or the maximum authorised weight on either axle (front and rear) (GAWR).
WARNI NG
The indicator does not relieve the user from their responsibility.
NOTIC E
Even if you correctly measure the weight of the vehicle's load, any factor that may vary this weight (driver/additional passengers seated or taking on additional fuel) after the measurement may put the vehicle into the overload condition.


WARNI NG
The load includes the weight of the items stored in the loading area (including any fittings such as shelves), but also the weight of all persons on board the vehicle, the amount of fuel and various equipment fitted on the vehicle.For optimal performance, the vehicle must be parked and loaded on level ground (avoid the following conditions: parking on a slope or straddling a pavement).
WARNI NG
Attaching a trailer to your vehicle may affect the operation of the system.
Operation
The measurement of the weight present on board your vehicle is triggered:► when starting the engine, automatically;

ON► when stationary, by pressing this button located in the loading area. The system is then active for 5 minutes.

Load reduction mode
System that manages the use of certain functions according to the level of charge remaining in the battery.When the vehicle is being driven, the load reduction function temporarily deactivates certain functions, such as the air conditioning and the heated rear screen.The deactivated functions are reactivated automatically as soon as conditions permit.
Roof bars / Roof rack
WARNI NG
RecommendationsDistribute the load uniformly, taking care to avoid overloading one of the sides.Arrange the heaviest part of the load as close as possible to the roof.Secure the load firmly.
Drive gently: the vehicle will be more susceptible to the effects of side winds and its stability may be affected.Regularly check the security and tight fastening of the roof bars and racks, at least before each trip.
WARNI NG
In the event of loading (not exceeding 40 cm (1 ft 3") in height) on the roof, do not exceed the following loads:– Transverse bars on longitudinal bars: 80 kg (176 lb).– Two transverse bars bolted to the roof: 100 kg (220 lb).– Three transverse bars bolted to the roof: 150 kg (330 lb).– An aluminium rack: 120 kg (264 lb).– A steel rack: 115 kg (253 lb).If the height exceeds 40 cm (1 ft 3"), adapt the speed of the vehicle to the profile of the road to avoid damaging the roof bars or the roof rack and the fixings on the vehicle.Refer to national legislation in order to comply with the regulations for transporting objects that are longer than the vehicle.


W ARNI NG
As a safety measure and to avoid damaging the roof, it is essential to use the roof bars and racks approved for your vehicle.Observe the instructions on fitting and use contained in the guide supplied with the roof bars and racks.


To fit the transverse roof bars or a roof rack, use the fixing points provided for this purpose:► Remove the fixing covers installed on the vehicle.► Put each fixing in place and lock them on the roof one by one.► Ensure that the roof bars or the roof rack are correctly fitted (by shaking them).The bars are adaptable for each fixing point.

Checking levels
Check all of the following levels regularly in accordance with the manufacturer's service schedule. Top them up if required, unless otherwise indicated.If a level drops significantly, have the corresponding system checked by a TOYOTA dealer or a qualified workshop.
WARNI NG
The fluids must comply with the manufacturer's requirements and with the vehicle's engine.
WARNI NG
Take care when working under the bonnet, as certain areas of the engine may be extremely hot (risk of burns) and the cooling fan could start at any time (even with the ignition off).
Used products
WARNI NG
Avoid prolonged contact of used oil or fluids with the skin.Most of these fluids are harmful to health and very corrosive.
ECO
Do not discard used oil or fluids into sewers or onto the ground.Empty used oil into the containers reserved for this purpose at a TOYOTA dealer or a qualified workshop.
Engine oil
The level is checked, with the engine having been switched off for at least 30
minutes and on level ground, either using the oil level indicator in the instrument panel when the ignition is switched on (for vehicles equipped with an electric gauge), or using the dipstick.

160
It is normal to top up the oil level between two services (or oil changes). It is recommended that you check the level, and top up if necessary, every 5,000 km (3,000 miles).
WARNI NG
In order to maintain the reliability of the engine and emissions control system, never use additives in the engine oil.
Checking using the dipstick
For the location of the dipstick, please refer to the illustration of the corresponding engine compartment.► Grasp the dipstick by its coloured grip and pull it out completely.► Wipe the end of the dipstick using a clean, lint-free cloth.

► Reinsert the dipstick and push fully down, then pull it out again to visually check the oil level: the correct level is between marks A (max) and B (min).Do not start the engine if the level is:– above mark A: contact a TOYOTA dealer or a qualified workshop.
– below mark B: top up the engine oil immediately.
WARNI NG
Oil gradeBefore topping up or changing the engine oil, check that the oil is suitable for the engine and complies with the recommendations in the service schedule supplied with the vehicle
(or available from your TOYOTA dealer and qualified workshops).Use of non-recommended oil may invalidate the contractual warranty in the event of engine failure.
Topping up the engine oil level
The location of the oil filler cap is shown in the corresponding underbonnet layout view.► Add oil in small quantities, avoiding any spills on engine components (risk of fire).► Wait a few minutes before checking the level again using the dipstick.► Add more oil if necessary.► After checking the level, carefully refit the oil filler cap and the dipstick in its tube.
NOTIC E
During the 30 minutes after topping up the oil, the check performed with the oil level indicator in the instrument panel when the ignition is switched on is not valid.
Brake fluid
The level of this fluid should be close to the "MAX" mark. If not, check the brake pad wear.To know how often the brake fluid should be replaced, refer to the manufacturer's servicing schedule.
WARNI NG
If topping up, clean the cap before replacing it. Use only DOT4 brake fluid from a sealed canister.
Engine coolant
Check the engine coolant level regularly.It is normal to top up this fluid between two services.The check and top-up must only be done with the engine cold.A low level presents a risk of serious damage to the engine.The level of this fluid should be close to the "MAX" mark but should never exceed it.If the level is close to or below the "MIN” mark, it is essential to top up.When the engine is hot, the temperature of this fluid is regulated by the fan.In addition, as the cooling system is pressurised, wait at least one hour after switching off the engine before carrying out any work.
