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.

Bonnet
WARNI NG
Stop & StartBefore doing anything under the bonnet, you must switch off the ignition to avoid any risk of injury resulting from an automatic change to START mode.
NOTIC E
The location of the interior bonnet release lever prevents opening the bonnet when the left-hand front door is closed.
WARNI NG
When the engine is hot, handle the exterior safety catch and the bonnet stay with care (risk of burns), using the protected area.When the bonnet is open, take care not to damage the safety catch.Do not open the bonnet under very windy conditions.
WARNI NG
Cooling of the engine when stoppedThe engine cooling fan may start after the engine has been switched off.Take care with objects or clothing that could be caught in the blades of the fan!
Opening
► Open the left-hand front door.
► Pull the release lever, located at the bottom of the door frame, towards you.► Lift the safety catch and raise the bonnet.
► Unclip the stay from its housing and place it in the support slot to hold the bonnet open.
Closing
► Take the stay out of the support slot.► Clip the stay in its housing.► Lower the bonnet and release it near the end of its travel.► Pull on the bonnet to check that it is locked correctly.

NOTIC E
If the warning lamp stays on, this indicates a low Diesel additive level.For more information on Checking levels, refer to the corresponding section.
NOTIC E
Following prolonged operation of the vehicle at very low speed or at idle, you may, in exceptional circumstances, notice the emission of water vapour at the exhaust while accelerating. This has no impact on the vehicle’s behaviour or the environment.
NOTIC E
New vehicleDuring the first few particle filter regeneration operations, you may notice a "burning" smell. This is perfectly normal.
Wheels and tyres
The inflation pressure of all tyres, including the spare wheel, must be checked on "cold” tyres.
The pressures indicated on the tyre pressure label are valid for "cold" tyres. If you have driven for more than 10 minutes or more than 10 km (6
miles) at over 50 km/h (31 mph), add 0.3 bar (30 kPa) to the values indicated on the label.
WARNI NG
Under-inflation increases fuel consumption. Non-compliant tyre pressure causes premature wear on tyres and has an adverse effect on the vehicle's road holding - risk of an accident!
Driving with worn or damaged tyres reduces the braking and road holding performance of the vehicle. It is recommended to regularly check the condition of the tyres (tread and sidewalls) and wheel rims as well as the presence of the valves.When the wear indicators no longer appear set back from the tread, the depth of the grooves is less than 1.6 mm; it is imperative to replace the tyres.Using different size wheels and tyres from those specified can affect the lifetime of tyres, wheel rotation, ground clearance, the speedometer reading and have an adverse effect on road holding.Fitting different tyres on the front and rear axles can cause the ESC to mistime.
AdBlue® (Diesel engines)
To respect the environment and ensure compliance with the Euro 6 standard, without adversely affecting the performance or fuel consumption of its Diesel engines, TOYOTA has taken the decision to equip its vehicles with a system that associates SCR (Selective Catalytic Reduction) with a Diesel particle filter (DPF) for the treatment of exhaust gases.
SCR System SCR
Using a liquid called AdBlue® that contains urea, a catalytic converter turns up to 85% of the nitrogen oxides (NOx) into nitrogen and water, which are harmless to health and the environment.The AdBlue® is contained in a special tank holding about 17 litres. Its capacity allows a driving range of approximately 6,000 km (3,700 miles), (which may vary considerably depending on your driving style and the vehicle). An alert system
is automatically triggered when the remaining range reaches 2,400 km (1,500 miles), i.e. once the reserve level has been reached.Several alerts are triggered successively during the remaining 2,400 km (1,500 miles) before the tank is empty and the vehicle blocked.

If swallowed, immediately wash out the mouth with clean water and then drink plenty of water.In certain conditions (high temperature, for example), the risk of release of ammonia cannot be excluded: do not inhale the fluid. Ammonia vapours have an irritant effect on mucous membranes (eyes, nose and throat).
WARNI NG
Store AdBlue® out of the reach of children, in
its original container.
Procedure
Before starting the top-up procedure, ensure that the vehicle is parked on a flat and level surface.In wintry conditions, ensure that the temperature of the vehicle is above -11 °C. Otherwise the AdBlue® may be frozen and so cannot be poured into its tank. Park the vehicle in a warmer area for a few hours to allow the top-up to be carried out.
WARNI NG
Never put the AdBlue® into the Diesel fuel tank.
WARNI NG
If any AdBlue® is splashed, or if there are any spillages on the bodywork, rinse immediately with cold water or wipe with a damp cloth.If the fluid has crystallised, clean it off using a sponge and hot water.
WARNI NG
Important: in the event of a top-up after a breakdown because of a lack of AdBlue, it is essential to wait around 5 minutes before switching on the ignition, without opening the driver’s door, unlocking the vehicle, introducing the key into the ignition switch, or introducing the key of the “Keyless Entry and Starting ” system into the passenger compartment.Switch on the ignition, then wait for 10 seconds before starting the engine.
► Switch off the ignition and remove the key from the switch to switch off the engine.or► With Keyless Entry and Starting, press the "START/STOP" button to switch off the engine.
► With the vehicle unlocked and the fuel filler flap open, turn the blue cap of the AdBlue® tank anti-clockwise and remove it.► With a container of AdBlue®: after checking the expiry date, read carefully the instructions on the label before pouring the contents of the container into the vehicle's AdBlue tank.► With an AdBlue® pump: introduce the nozzle and fill the tank until the automatic cut-off of the nozzle.
WARNI NG
In order not to overfill the AdBlue® tank:– Add between 10 and 13 litres using AdBlue® containers.– Stop after the nozzle’s first automatic cut-out, if you are refilling at a service station.
WARNI NG
If the AdBlue® tank is completely empty – which is confirmed by the “Top up AdBlue: Starting impossible” message – it is essential to add at least 5 litres.
166
After refilling
► Refit the blue cap to the tank filler and turn it clockwise, as far as it will go.► Close the fuel filler flap.
Do not dispose of AdBlue® bottles or containers in the household waste.Place them in a container reserved for this purpose or take them back to where you purchased them.
