On a steep slope

Take care when opening doors while the vehicle is on a slope facing uphill. The sloping terrain could cause the door to open more quickly than usual.On a steep slope, manually guide the side door to help it to close.If the vehicle is on a slope facing downhill, the door may not stay open, instead closing suddenly, with a risk of injury. Always hold the door to ensure that it does not close unexpectedly.
WARNI NG
On a steep slope, the door's weight may cause it to move, opening or closing suddenly as a result.Avoid leaving the vehicle unsupervised on a steep slope with one or more doors open. If this advice is not followed, injuries or damage may occur if a person or an object is trapped or caught.

Stowing rings




Use the stowing rings on the rear floor to secure loads.
As a safety precaution in case of sharp braking, we recommend placing heavy objects as far forwards as possible (i.e. near the cab).We recommend using the stowing rings on the floor to firmly secure the load.
WARNI NG
When washing your vehicle, never clean the inside directly using a water jet.
Recommendations on
loading
WARNI NG
The weight of the load must comply with the Gross Train Weight (GTW).For more information on Engine technical data and towed loads, refer to the corresponding section.
WARNI NG
If you are using a carrying system (roof bars/roof rack), comply with the maximum loads associated with this system.For more information on Roof bars/Roof rack, refer to the corresponding section.
WARNI NG
Make sure that the size, shape and volume of the loads carried are compatible with the highway code and safety regulations and do not impair the driver’s field of vision.
WARNI NG
The load must be evenly distributed in the loading area so as not to interfere with driving the vehicle.Place the load close to the side panels, or even push it against the side panels between the wheel arches.However, it is recommended that heavy objects are placed as close to the cab as possible as a precaution in case of sharp braking.
WARNI NG
Firmly secure all parts of the load using the stowing rings on the floor of the loading area.For more information on the Interior fittingsand in particular on the stowing rings, refer to the corresponding section.

The indicator lamp in the button or thumbwheel goes off.
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.

Curtain airbagsDo not fix or attach anything to the roof, as this could cause head injuries when the curtain airbag is deployed.Do not remove the grab handles installed on the roof, as they play a part in securing the curtain airbags.
Child seats
NOTIC E
The regulations on carrying children are specific to each country. Refer to the legislation in force in your country.
For maximum safety, please observe the following recommendations:– In accordance with European regulations, all children under the age of 12 or less than 150 cm (4 ft 11”) tall must travel in approved child seats suited to their weight, on seats fitted with a seat belt or ISOFIX mountings.– Statistically, the safest seats in your vehicle for carrying children are the rear seats.– Children weighing less than 9 kg (20 lb) must travel in the "rear facing" position, whether in the front or rear of the vehicle.
NOTIC E
It is recommended that children travel on the rear seats of the vehicle:– ‘rear facing’ up to the age of 3,– ‘forward facing’ over the age of 3.
WARNI NG
Make sure that the seat belt is correctly positioned and tightened.For child seats with a support leg, ensure that the support leg is in firm and steady contact with the floor.
WARNI NG
Remove and stow the head restraint before installing a child seat with backrest on a passenger seat. Refit the head restraint once the child seat has been removed.
Advice
WARNI NG
An incorrectly installed child seat compromises the child's safety in the event of an accident.Ensure that there is no seat belt or seat belt buckle under the child seat, as this could destabilise it.
Remember to fasten the seat belts or the harness of child seats, keeping the slack relative to the child's body to a minimum, even for short journeys.When installing a child seat using the seat belt, ensure that the seat belt is tightened correctly on the child seat and that it secures the child seat firmly on the seat of the vehicle. If the passenger seat is adjustable, move it forwards if necessary.Remove the head restraint before installing a child seat with a backrest on a passenger seat.Ensure that the head restraint is stored or attached securely to prevent it from being thrown around the vehicle in the event of sharp braking. Refit the head restraint once the child seat has been removed.

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.
