Malfunction
In the event of a system malfunction, this warning lamp comes on, accompanied by an onscreen message and audible signal.Contact a TOYOTA dealer or a qualified workshop to have the systems checked.
WARNI NG
ASR / DSCThese systems enhance safety during normal driving, but should not encourage the driver to take extra risks or drive at high speed.It is in conditions of reduced grip (rain, snow, ice) that the risk of loss of grip increases. It is therefore important for your safety to keep these systems activated in all conditions, and particularly in difficult conditions.
Correct operation of these systems depends on compliance with the manufacturer's recommendations relating to the wheels (tyres and rims), braking and electronic components, as well as the assembly and repair procedures used by TOYOTA dealers.The use of snow tyres is recommended, to ensure that these systems remain effective in winter conditions. All four wheels must be fitted with tyres approved for the vehicle.
Trailer stability assist (TSA)
When towing, this system reduces the risk of the vehicle or trailer snaking.
Operation
The system is activated automatically when the ignition is switched on.The electronic stability control system (ESC) must not have any faults.At speeds between 60 and 160 km/h (37 and 99 mph), if the system detects oscillating trailer movements (snaking), it acts on the brakes to stabilise the trailer and, if necessary, reduces engine power to slow the vehicle.This warning lamp flashes on the instrument panel and the brake lamps light up to draw attention to this corrective action.For information on weights and towed loads, refer to the Engine Technical Data and Towed Loads section or your vehicle’s registration certificateTo ensure safe driving with a Towing device,
refer to the corresponding section.
Malfunction
If a fault occurs, this warning lamp comes on in the instrument panel, accompanied by a message and an audible signal.If you wish to continue towing a trailer, reduce your speed and drive carefully!Contact a TOYOTA dealer or a qualified workshop to have the system checked.
WARNI NG
The trailer stability assist system offers enhanced safety in normal driving, provided that the recommendations on towing a trailer are observed. It should not encourage the driver to take risks, such as towing a trailer in adverse operating conditions (overloading, failure to observe the trailer nose weight, worn or under-inflated tyres, faulty braking system, etc.), or to drive at excessive speeds.In certain cases, the system may not detect trailer snaking, particularly with a light trailer.When driving on slippery or poor surfaces, the system may not be able to prevent sudden trailer snaking.

Advanced Grip Control
A special, patented traction control system which improves driveability on snow, mud and sand.This system, optimised for operation in a range of conditions, enables you to manoeuvre in most slippery conditions (encountered during normal passenger car use).When combined with all-season Peak Mountain Snow Flake tyres, this system offers a compromise between safety, grip and driveability.The accelerator pedal should be pressed sufficiently to allow the system to harness the power of the engine. Operation at high engine speeds is completely normal.A five-position selector knob allows you to choose the setting best suited to the driving conditions encountered.An indicator lamp associated with each mode comes on, accompanied by the display of a message to confirm your choice.
Operating modes
Standard (ESC)
This mode is calibrated for a low level of wheel spin, based on the different levels of grip normally encountered on the road.
NOTIC E
Every time the ignition is switched off, the system automatically resets to this mode.
Snow
This mode adapts its strategy to the conditions of grip encountered for each of the two front wheels on moving off.
(mode active up to 80 km/h (50 mph))
All terrain (mud, damp grass, etc.)
This mode, when moving off, allows considerable spin on the wheel with the least grip to optimise clearing of the mud and to regain grip. At the same time, the wheel with the most grip is controlled in such a way as to transmit as much torque as possible.When moving, the system optimises wheel spin to respond to the driver's requirements as fully as possible.(mode active up to 50 km/h (31 mph))
Sand
This mode allows little spin on the two driving wheels at the same time to allow the vehicle to move forward and limit the risks of getting stuck in the sand.(mode active up to 120 km/h (75 mph))
WARNI NG
Do not use the other modes on sand as the vehicle may become stuck.
You can deactivate the ASR and DSC systems by turning the knob to the "OFF" position.
86
NOTIC E
The ASR and DSC systems will no longer act on the operation of the engine or of the brakes in the event of a change of trajectory.These systems are reactivated automatically from 50 km/h (31 mph) and whenever the ignition is switched on.
WARNI NG
RecommendationsYour vehicle is designed principally to drive on tarmac roads but it allows you to occasionally drive on other less passable terrain.However, it does not permit off-road driving such as:– crossing and driving on terrain which could damage the underbody or strip away components (fuel pipe, fuel cooler, etc.) due to obstacles or stones in particular,– driving on terrain with steep gradients and
poor grip,– crossing a stream.
Hill Assist Descent
Control
System that provides assistance when descending on loose or soft surfaces (gravel, mud, etc.) or a steep gradient.This system reduces the risk of slip or loss of control of the vehicle when descending, whether going forward or in reverse.During a descent, it assists the driver in maintaining a constant speed, depending on the gear engaged, while progressively releasing the brakes.
NOTIC E
For the system to activate, the slope must be greater than 5%.The system can be used with the gearbox in neutral.Otherwise engage a gear corresponding to the speed to prevent the engine stalling.With an automatic gearbox, the system can be used with the selector at N, D or R.
WARNI NG
When the system is regulating, the Active Safety Brake system is automatically
deactivated.
NOTIC E
The system is not available:– if the speed of the vehicle is above 70 km/h (43 mph),– if the speed of the vehicle is being controlled by the Adaptive Cruise Control, depending on the type of gearbox.
Switching on
By default, the system is not selected.The state of the function is not saved when the ignition is switched off.The driver can select the system when the engine is running, when the vehicle is stationary or when moving at speeds up to approximately 50 km/h (31 mph).
► To select the system, at speeds below 50 km/h (31 mph), press this button until its indicator lights up; this lamp appears in green in the instrument panel.The system becomes active at speeds below 30 km/h (19 mph).

Driving recommendations
► Observe the driving regulations and remain vigilant whatever the traffic conditions.► Monitor your environment and keep your hands on the wheel to be able to react to anything that may happen any time.► Drive smoothly, anticipate the need for braking and maintain a longer safety distance, especially in bad weather.► Stop the vehicle to carry out operations that require close attention (such as adjustments).► During long trips, take a break every two hours.
Important!
WARNI NG
Never leave the engine running in a closed space without sufficient ventilation. Internal combustion engines emit toxic exhaust gases such as carbon monoxide. Danger of poisoning and death!
WARNI NG
In very severe wintry conditions (temperature below -23°C), let the engine run for 4 minutes
before moving off, to ensure the correct operation and durability of the mechanical components of your vehicle (engine and gearbox).
WARNI NG
Never drive with the parking brake applied. Risk of overheating and damaging the braking system!
WARNI NG
Do not park the vehicle or leave the engine
running on a flammable surface (e.g. dry grass, dead leaves).The vehicle exhaust system is very hot, even several minutes after the engine stops. Risk of fire!
WARNI NG
Never leave a vehicle unattended 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).
WARNI NG
Never leave children inside the vehicle unsupervised.
WARNI NG
Never drive on surfaces covered with vegetation (tall grass, accumulation of dead leaves, harvest, remains) such as a field, a bushy countryside path, a road's shoulder.These plants may come into contact with the vehicle's exhaust system or some systems that are very hot. Risk of fire!
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.
If you are obliged to drive on a flooded road:► check that the depth of water does not exceed 15 cm (0 ft 5”), taking account of waves that might be generated by other users,► deactivate the Stop & Start function,► drive as slowly as possible without stalling. In all cases, do not exceed 10 km/h (6 mph),► do not stop and do not switch off the engine.
100
On leaving the flooded road, as soon as safety conditions allow, make several light brake applications to dry the brake discs and pads.If in doubt about the state of your vehicle, contact a TOYOTA dealer or a qualified workshop.
In case of towing
WARNI NG
Driving with a trailer places greater demands on the towing vehicle and requires extra care from the driver.
NOTIC E
Respect the maximum towable weights.At altitude: reduce the maximum load by 10% per 1,000 metres (3,280 ft) of altitude; the density of the air decreases with altitude and the performance of the engine reduces.
WARNI NG
New vehicle: do not pull a trailer before having driven at least 1,000 kilometres (620 miles).
NOTIC E
If the outside temperature is high, let the engine idle for 1 to 2 minutes after the vehicle comes to a stop, to help it to cool.
Before setting off
Nose weight
► Distribute the load in the trailer so that the heaviest items are as close as possible to the axle and the nose weight (at the point where it joins your vehicle) approaches the maximum permitted without exceeding it.
Tyres
► Check the tyre pressures of the towing vehicle and of the trailer, observing the recommended pressures.
Lighting
► Check the electrical signalling on the trailer and the headlamp beam height of your vehicle.
NOTIC E
If a genuine TOYOTA towing device is used, the rear parking sensors will be deactivated automatically to avoid the audible signal.
When driving
Cooling
Towing a trailer uphill increases the temperature of the coolant. The maximum towable load depends on the gradient and the exterior temperature. The cooling capacity of the fan does not increase with engine speed.► Reduce speed and lower the engine speed, so as to limit the heating-up.In all cases, pay attention to the coolant temperature.If this warning lamp and the STOP warning lamp come on, stop the vehicle and switch off the engine as soon as possible.
Brakes
Braking distances are increased when towing a trailer. To avoid overheating of the brakes, the use of engine braking is recommended.
Side wind
Bear in mind the increased susceptibility to the wind that the vehicle will have.

temperature exceeds 35 °C, the engine’s idle speed may increase, up to 1,300 rpm, depending on the cooling requirements.
102
– In wintry conditions, the pre-heater warning lamp will stay on for a longer period after switching on the ignition; wait until it goes off before starting.– In very severe wintry conditions (temperature below -23 °C), to ensure correct operation and durability of your vehicle’s mechanical components (engine and gearbox), leave the engine running for 4 minutes before moving off.Never leave the engine running in an enclosed area without adequate ventilation: internal combustion engines emit toxic exhaust gases, such as carbon monoxide. Danger of poisoning and death!
NOTIC E
With petrol engines, after a cold start, pre-heating the catalytic converter can cause clearly-felt engine vibrations when stationary, with the engine running, for anything up to 2 minutes (accelerated idle speed).
WARNI NG
If the engine does not start straight away, switch off the ignition.
Wait a few seconds before operating the starter motor again. If the engine does not start after several attempts, do not keep
trying: you risk damaging the starter motor and the engine.Contact a TOYOTA dealer or a qualified workshop.
WARNI NG
To avoid any risk of jamming the pedals:– only use mats which are suited to the fixings already present in the vehicle; these fixings must be used,– never place one mat on top of another.The use of mats not approved by TOYOTA may interfere 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.
