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).

► When the vehicle begins its descent, you can release the accelerator and brake pedals; the system regulates the speed:– if the gearbox is in first or second gear, the speed decreases and the indicator lamp flashes rapidly,– if the gearbox is in neutral or if the clutch pedal is depressed, the speed decreases and the indicator lamp flashes slowly; in this case, the maintained descent speed is lower.On a descent, with the vehicle stationary, if you release the accelerator and brake pedals, the system will release the brakes to set the vehicle gradually in motion.The brake lamps light up automatically when the system is regulating.If the speed exceeds 30 km/h (19 mph), regulation is paused automatically, the indicator lamp goes back to grey in the instrument panel, but the green indicator lamp in the button remains on.Regulation resumes automatically when the speed falls below 30 km/h (19 mph) again, if the
slope and pedal release conditions are met.You can depress the accelerator or brake pedal again at any time.
Off
► Press the button until its indicator lamp goes off; the indicator lamp on the instrument panel also goes off.At speeds above 70 km/h (43 mph), the system is automatically deactivated; the indicator lamp in the button goes off.
Malfunction
In the event of a system malfunction, this warning lamp comes on on the instrument panel, accompanied by an onscreen message.Have the system checked by a TOYOTA dealer or a qualified workshop.
Seat belts
Front seat belts
The front seat belts are fitted with a pyrotechnic pretensioning system and force limiter.This system improves safety in the front seats in the event of a front or side impact. Depending on the severity of the impact, the pyrotechnic pretensioning system instantly tightens the seat belts against the body of the occupants.The pyrotechnic pretensioning seat belts are enabled when the ignition is on.The force limiter reduces the pressure of the seat belt on the chest of the occupant, thus improving their protection.
Fastening
► Pull the strap, then insert the tongue in the buckle.► Check that the seat belt is fastened correctly by pulling the strap.
88
Unlocking
► Press the red button on the buckle.► Guide the seat belt as it is reeled in.
Two-seat front bench seat
If the vehicle is fitted with a front bench seat, ensure that each seat belt is used with its correct buckle.Do not interchange the driver's seat belt or buckle with the centre seat belt or buckle.
Rear seat belts
Each rear seat is equipped with a seat belt but no pyrotechnic pretensioning system or force limiter.Take care to insert each seatbelt into its matching buckle.Do not interchange the belts or buckles for the outer seats with the belt or buckle for the centre seat.
Seat belt(s) warning lamp
With individual front seats
On switching on the ignition, this warning lamp
comes on if a seat belt is not fastened or is unfastened.At speeds above approximately 20 km/h (12 mph), the warning lamp flashes for 2 minutes, accompanied by an audible signal.Once these 2 minutes have elapsed, the warning lamp remains on until the driver and/or passenger fasten their seat belt.
With two-seat front bench seat (and driver’s seat)
On switching on the ignition, this warning lamp comes on if the driver’s seat belt is not fastened or is unfastened.On switching on the ignition, this warning lamp comes on if a passenger seat belt is unfastened.At speeds above approximately 20 km/h (12 mph), the warning lamp flashes for 2 minutes, accompanied by an audible signal.Once these 2 minutes have elapsed, the warning lamp remains on until the driver fastens their seat belt.

Airbags
System designed to contribute towards improving the safety of the occupants (with the exception of the centre seat in row 2) in the event of violent collisions.The airbags supplement the action of the force-limiting seat belts.If a collision occurs, the electronic detectors record and analyse the front and side impacts sustained in the impact detection zones:– in the event of a serious impact, the airbags are deployed instantly and contribute towards better protection of the occupants (with the exception of the centre seat in row 2); immediately after the impact, the airbags deflate rapidly so that they do not hinder visibility or the exit of the occupants,– in the case of a minor or rear impact or in certain rollover conditions, the airbags may not be deployed; the seat belt alone contributes towards ensuring your protection in these situations.
WARNI NG
The airbags do not operate when the ignition is switched off.This equipment will only deploy once. If a second impact occurs (during the same or a subsequent accident), the airbag will not be deployed again.
Impact detection zones
A.Front impact zone
B.Side impact zone
NOTIC E
When one or more airbags are deployed, the detonation of the pyrotechnic charge incorporated in the system makes a noise and releases a small quantity of smoke.This smoke is not harmful, but sensitive individuals may experience slight irritation.The detonation noise associated with the deployment of one or more airbags may result in a slight loss of hearing for a short time.
Front airbags
System that protects the driver and front passenger(s) in the event of a serious front impact, limiting the risk of head and chest injury.The driver's airbag is fitted in the centre of the steering wheel; the front passenger airbag is fitted in the roof.With the two-seat front bench seat, the passenger sitting in the centre is also protected.
Deployment
The airbags are deployed (except the front passenger airbag if it has been deactivated) in the event of a serious front impact to all or part of the frontal impact zone A, in the longitudinal centreline of the vehicle on a horizontal plane and directed from the front towards the rear of the vehicle.The front airbag inflates between the chest and head of the front occupant of the vehicle and
the steering wheel, on the driver's side, and the dashboard, on the passenger side, to cushion their forward movement.
