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 a TOYOTA dealer or a qualified workshop.
WARNI NG
In good or rainy weather, by both day and night, use of 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 falling 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.Switch off the front and rear foglamps when they are no longer necessary.
WARNI NG
Never look too closely at the luminous beam of LED headlamps: risk of serious eye injury.
Direction indicators
► Left or right: lower or raise the lighting control lever, beyond the point of resistance.
Three flashes
► Press briefly upwards or downwards, without going beyond the point of resistance; the direction indicators will flash 3 times.
Automatic headlamp
illumination
When a low level of ambient light is detected by a sunshine sensor, the number plate lamps, sidelamps and dipped beam headlamps are switched on automatically, without any action on the part of the driver. They can also come on if rain is detected, at the same time as the automatic rain sensitive wipers.As soon as the brightness returns to a sufficient level or after the windscreen wipers are switched off, the lamps are switched off automatically.

WARNI NG
When driving, keep the glove box closed. Otherwise, there is a risk of injury in the event of an accident or sudden braking.
Lateral airbags
If fitted to the vehicle, this system protects the driver and front passenger in the event of a serious side impact, limiting the risk of injury to the chest, between the abdomen and head.Each lateral airbag is mounted in the seat backrest frame, on the door side.
Deployment
They are deployed on one side in the event of a serious side impact applied to all or part
of the side impact zone, perpendicular to the longitudinal centreline of the vehicle on a horizontal plane and directed from the outside towards the inside of the vehicle.The lateral airbag inflates between the front occupant's abdomen and head and the associated door trim panel.
Curtain airbags
If fitted to the vehicle, this system offers enhanced protection for the driver and passenger in the event of a serious side impact, limiting the risk of injury to the side of the head.Each curtain airbag is built into the pillars and the upper passenger compartment area.
NOTIC E
With the two-seat front bench seat, the passenger sitting in the centre is not protected.
Deployment
They are deployed on one side in the event of a serious side impact applied to all or part of the side impact zone, perpendicular to the longitudinal centreline of the vehicle on a horizontal plane and directed from the outside towards the inside of the vehicle.The curtain airbag inflates between the outer rear passenger and the windows.
Malfunction
If this warning lamp comes on in the instrument panel, you must contact a TOYOTA dealer or a qualified workshop to have the system checked.The airbags may not be deployed in the event of a serious impact.
92
WARNI NG
In the event of a minor impact or bump at the side of the vehicle or if the vehicle rolls over, the airbags may not be deployed.In the event of a rear or front collision, none of the lateral airbags are deployed.
Advice
WARNI NG
For the airbags to be fully effective, observe the safety recommendations below.Adopt a normal upright sitting position.Fasten the seat belt ensuring it is correctly positioned and adjusted.Do not leave anything between the occupants and the airbags (a child, pet, object, etc.), nor fix or attach anything close to or in the way of the airbag release trajectory; this could cause injuries during their deployment.Do not place objects on the dashboard.Never modify the original definition of your vehicle, particularly in the area directly around the airbags.After an accident or if the vehicle has been stolen, have the airbag systems checked.
All work on the airbag systems must only be performed by a TOYOTA dealer or a qualified workshop.Even if all of the precautions mentioned are observed, a risk of injury or of minor burns to the head, chest or arms cannot be ruled out when an airbag is deployed. The airbag inflates almost instantly (within a few milliseconds) then deflates within the same time discharging the hot gas via openings provided for this purpose.
WARNI NG
Front airbagsDo not drive holding the steering wheel by its spokes or resting your hands on the centre part of the wheel.Passengers must not place their feet on the dashboard.Do not smoke as deployment of the airbags can cause burns or the risk of injury from a
cigarette or pipe.Never remove or pierce the steering wheel or hit it violently.Do not fix or attach anything to the steering wheel or dashboard, as this could cause injuries when the airbags are deployed.
WARNI NG
Lateral airbagsUse only approved covers on the seats, compatible with the deployment of the lateral airbags. For information on the range of seat covers suitable for your vehicle, contact a TOYOTA dealer.Do not fix or attach anything to the seat backrests (clothes, etc.), as this could cause injuries to the thorax or arm when the lateral airbag is deployed.Do not sit with the upper part of the body any nearer to the door than necessary.The vehicle's front door panels include side impact sensors.A damaged door or any unauthorised or incorrectly executed work (modification or repair) on the front doors or their interior trim could compromise the operation of these sensors - risk of malfunction of the lateral airbags!Such work must only be done by a TOYOTA
dealer or a qualified workshop.

Driving aids cameraThis camera and its associated functions may be impaired or not work if the windscreen area in front of the camera is dirty, misty, frosty, covered with snow, damaged or masked by a sticker.On versions with camera alone, this message indicates to you that the camera is obstructed: "Driving aids camera: visibility limited, see user guide".In humid and cold weather, demist the windscreen regularly.Poor visibility (inadequate street lighting, heavy rain, thick fog, snowfall), dazzle (headlamps of an oncoming vehicle, low sun, reflections on a damp road, leaving a tunnel, alternating shade and light) can also impair detection performance.In the event of a windscreen replacement, contact a TOYOTA dealer or a qualified workshop to recalibrate the camera;
otherwise, the operation of the associated driving aids may be disrupted.
NOTIC E
Other camerasThe images from the camera(s) displayed on the touch screen or on the instrument panel may be distorted by the relief.
In the presence of areas in shade, or in conditions of bright sunlight or inadequate lighting, the image may be darkened and with lower contrast.Obstacles may appear further away than they actually are.
WARNI NG
SensorsThe operation of the sensors as well as the associated functions may be disturbed by sound interference such as that emitted by noisy vehicles and machinery (e.g. lorries, pneumatic drills), by the accumulation of snow or dead leaves on the road or in the event of damaged bumpers and mirrors.When reverse gear is engaged, an audible signal (long beep) indicates that the sensors may be dirty.A front or rear impact to the vehicle can upset the sensors’ settings, which is not
always detected by the system: distance measurements may be distorted.The sensors do not systematically detect obstacles that are too low (pavements, studs) or too thin (trees, posts, wire fences).Certain obstacles located in the sensors’ blind spots may not be detected or may no longer be detected during the manoeuvre.Certain materials (fabrics) absorb sound waves: pedestrians may not be detected.
NOTIC E
MaintenanceClean the bumpers and door mirrors and the field of vision of the cameras regularly.When washing your vehicle at high pressure, direct the spray from at least 30 cm (0 ft 11") away from the sensors and cameras.
WARNI NG
MatsThe use of mats not approved by TOYOTA may interfere with the operation of the speed limiter or cruise control.To avoid any risk of jamming the pedals:► ensure that the mat is secured correctly,► never fit one mat on top of another.
NOTIC E
Units of speed
Ensure that the units of speed displayed on the instrument panel (km/h or mph) are those for the country you are driving in.If this is not the case, when the vehicle is stationary, set the display to the required units of speed so that it complies with what is authorised locally.In case of doubt, contact a TOYOTA dealer or a qualified workshop.

Malfunction
If the event of malfunction, this warning lamp comes on in the instrument panel, accompanied by the display of a message.Contact a TOYOTA dealer or a qualified workshop to have the system checked.
NOTIC E
The system may suffer temporary interference
in certain weather conditions (rain, hail, etc.).In particular, driving on a wet surface 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 correct operation of the system.
Active Blind Spot
Monitoring System
In addition to the fixed warning lamp in the door mirror on the side in question, a correction of trajectory will be felt if you attempt to cross a lane marking with the direction indicators on, to help you avoid a collision.This system is the combination of the Active Lane Departure Warning System and Blind Spot Monitoring System.These two functions must be activated and in operation.The speed of the vehicle must be between 65 and 140 km/h (40 and 87 mph) inclusive.These functions are especially suitable for driving on motorways and main roads.For more information on the Active Lane Departure Warning System and Blind Spot Monitoring System, refer to the corresponding sections.
WARNI NG
This system is a driving aid which cannot, in any circumstances, replace the need for vigilance on the part of the driver.
Distraction detection
Refer to the General recommendations on the use of driving and manoeuvring aids.Take a break in case of feeling tired or at least every 2 hours.Depending on version, the function consists of just the "Coffee Break Alert" system, or of this combined with the "Driver Attention Warning" system.
WARNI NG
These systems are in no way designed to keep the driver awake or to prevent the driver from falling asleep at the wheel. It is the driver’s responsibility to stop if feeling tired.
Activation/Deactivation
The function is activated or deactivated via the vehicle configuration menu.The state of the system stays in the memory when the ignition is switched off.
Coffee Break Alert
The system triggers an alert as soon as it detects that the driver has not taken a break after two hours of driving at a speed above 65 km/h (40 mph).

WARNI NG
Obstacles may appear further away than they actually are.During parking manoeuvres and lane changes, it is important to check the sides of the vehicle using the mirrors.The rear parking sensors also supplement the information on the vehicle's surroundings.
Operating limits
The system may be disrupted (or even damaged) and not work in the following situations:– Installation of a bicycle carrier on the tailgate or side-hinged door (depending on version).– Attachment of a trailer to the towball.– Driving with a door open.
WARNI NG
Please note, the camera must not be obscured (by a sticker, a bicycle carrier, etc.).
NOTIC E
The field of vision of the camera may vary depending on the load in vehicle.
Maintenance
recommendations
In bad or wintry weather, ensure that the camera is not covered by mud, frost or snow.Check the cleanliness of the camera lens regularly.If necessary, clean the camera with a soft, dry cloth.When washing the vehicle using a high-pressure jet, keep the spray directed at least 30 cm (0 ft 11") away from the camera.
Surround Rear Vision
Refer to the General recommendations on the use of driving and manoeuvring aids.With the ignition on, in order to improve visibility of the passenger side blind spot and the rear of the vehicle, this system uses two cameras to display the views of the vehicle’s close surroundings on the reproduction screen (panel van or fitted with a solid partition).This system has three sub-functions:
– Passenger side view: shows the area at the passenger side of the vehicle.The orange line 1 represents a distance of 5 m (16 ft 4") from the rear bumper.
