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.

Running out of fuel
(Diesel)
On vehicles fitted with Diesel engines, the fuel system must be primed if you run out of fuel.If the engine does not start first time, do not keep trying, but start the procedure again from the beginning.
NOTIC E
For more information on Misfuel prevention (Diesel), refer to the corresponding section.
With Euro 6.2/6.3 engines
► Switch on the ignition (without starting the engine).► Wait around 1 minute and switch off the ignition.► Operate the starter motor to start the engine.If the engine does not start at the first attempt, do not keep trying, but restart the procedure.
Tool kit
► For easier access, move the seat(s) forward.

► Raise the lever A fully.► Replace the open clamp B on the (+) terminal.► Push the clamp B fully down.► Lower the lever A to lock the clamp B.
WARNI NG
Do not force the lever as it will not be possible to lock the clamp if it is not positioned correctly; start the procedure again.
Following reconnection
After reconnecting the battery, turn on the ignition and wait 1 minute before starting the engine, to enable the electronic systems to initialise.However, if minor problems persist following this operation, contact a TOYOTA dealer or a qualified workshop.Referring to the corresponding section, you must reset certain systems yourself, such as:
– the remote control key or the electronic key (depending on version),– the electric windows,– the electric doors,– the date and time,– the radio preset stations.
NOTIC E
The Stop & Start system may not be operational during the trip following the first engine start.In this case, the system will only be available again after a continuous period of immobilisation of the vehicle, a period which depends on the exterior temperature and the state of charge of the battery (up to about 8 hours).
Towing
Procedure for having your vehicle towed or for towing another vehicle using the towing eye.
NOTIC E
General recommendationsObserve the legislation in force in the country where you are driving.Ensure that the weight of the towing vehicle is higher than that of the towed vehicle.The driver must remain at the wheel of the towed vehicle and must have a valid driving licence.When towing a vehicle with all four wheels on the ground, always use an approved towbar; ropes and straps are prohibited.The towing vehicle must move off gently.When the vehicle is towed with its engine off, there is no longer braking and steering assistance.

Engine technical data and
towed loads
Engines
The engine characteristics are given in the vehicle's registration document, as well as in sales brochures.
NOTIC E
The maximum power corresponds to the value type-approved on a test bed, under conditions defined in European legislation (Directive 1999/99/EC).
For more information, contact a TOYOTA dealer or a qualified workshop.
Weights and towed loads
The weights and towed loads relating to your vehicle are indicated on the registration document, as well as in sales brochures.These values are also indicated on the manufacturer's plate or label.For more information, contact a TOYOTA dealer or a qualified workshop.The GTW (Gross Train Weight) and towed load values indicated are valid up to a maximum altitude of 1,000 metres (3,280 ft). The towed load value must be reduced by 10% for each additional 1,000 metres (3,280 ft) of altitude.
The maximum authorised nose weight corresponds to the weight permitted on the towball.
WARNI NG
When exterior temperatures are high, the vehicle performance may be limited in order to protect the engine. When the exterior temperature is higher than 37°C, limit the
towed weight.
WARNI NG
Towing even with a lightly loaded vehicle can adversely affect its road holding.Braking distances are increased when towing a trailer.When using a vehicle to tow, never exceed a speed of 100 km/h (62 mph) (observe the local legislation in force).
NOTIC E
If the exterior temperature is high, it is recommended that the engine is allowed to idle for 1 to 2 minutes after the vehicle comes to a stop, to facilitate its cooling.
