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.
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.

The vehicle stalls in STOP mode
All of the instrument panel warning lamps come on if there is a fault.Depending on version, a warning message may also be displayed, prompting you to place the gear selector in position N and depress the brake pedal.► Switch off the ignition then start the engine again with the key or the "START/STOP" button.
WARNI NG
The Stop & Start system requires a 12 V battery of specific technology and specification.All work concerning the battery must be carried out only by a TOYOTA dealer or a qualified workshop.
Under-inflation detection
This system automatically checks the pressures
of the tyres while driving.It compares the information given by the wheel speed sensors with reference values, which must be reinitialised every time the tyre pressures are adjusted or a wheel changed.The system triggers an alert as soon as it detects a drop in the inflation pressure of one or more tyres.
WARNI NG
Under-inflation detection does not replace the need for vigilance on the part of the driver.This system does not avoid the need to regularly check the tyre pressures (including the spare wheel) as well as before a long journey.Driving with under-inflated tyres, particularly in adverse conditions (heavy load, high speed, long journey):– worsens road-holding.– lengthens braking distances.– causes premature wear of the tyres.– increases fuel consumption.
NOTIC E
The inflation pressures defined for the vehicle can be found on the tyre pressure label.For more information on the Identification markings, refer to the corresponding section.
WARNI NG
Checking tyre pressuresThis check should be done when the tyres are "cold" (vehicle stopped for 1 hour or after
a journey of less than 10 km (6 miles) at moderate speeds).Otherwise, add 0.3 bar to the pressures shown on the label.
NOTIC E
Snow chainsThe system does not have to be reinitialised after fitting or removing snow chains.
NOTIC E
Spare wheelThe steel spare wheel does not have an under-inflation detection sensor.
Under-inflation alert
This is signalled by the fixed illumination of this warning lamp, accompanied by an audible signal and, depending on equipment, the display of a message.► Reduce speed immediately, avoid excessive steering movements and avoid sudden braking.► Stop the vehicle as soon as it is safe to do so.
WARNI NG
The loss of pressure detected does not always cause visible bulging of the tyre.Do not rely on just a visual check.
► Using a compressor, such as the one in the temporary puncture repair kit, check the pressures of the four tyres when cold.

Driving and manoeuvring
aids - General
recommendations
NOTIC E
Driving and manoeuvring aids cannot, in any circumstances, replace the need for vigilance on the part of the driver.The driver must comply with the Highway Code, must remain in control of the vehicle in all circumstances and must be able to retake control of it at all times. The driver must adapt the speed to climactic conditions, traffic and the state of the road.It is the driver's responsibility to constantly check the traffic, to assess the relative distances and speeds of other vehicles and to anticipate their movements before indicating and changing lane.The systems cannot exceed the limits of the
laws of physics.
NOTIC E
Driving aidsYou should hold the steering wheel with both hands, always use the interior and exterior rear view mirrors, always keep the feet close to the pedals and take a break every two hours.
NOTIC E
Manoeuvring aidsThe driver must always check the surroundings of the vehicle before and during the whole manoeuvre, in particular using the mirrors.
WARNI NG
RadarThe operation of the radar as well as the associated functions may be impaired through the accumulation of dirt (mud, frost, etc.), in certain difficult weather conditions (very heavy rain, snow) or if the bumper is damaged.If the front bumper is to be repainted, contact a TOYOTA dealer or a qualified workshop; certain types of paint could interfere with the operation of the radar.


WARNI NG
Driving aids cameraThis camera and its associated functions may be impaired or not work if the windscreen area in front of the camera is dirty, misty, frosty, covered with snow, damaged or masked by a sticker.On versions with camera alone, this message indicates to you that the camera is obstructed: "Driving aids camera: visibility limited, see user guide".In humid and cold weather, demist the windscreen regularly.Poor visibility (inadequate street lighting, heavy rain, thick fog, snowfall), dazzle (headlamps of an oncoming vehicle, low sun, reflections on a damp road, leaving a tunnel, alternating shade and light) can also impair detection performance.In the event of a windscreen replacement, contact a TOYOTA dealer or a qualified workshop to recalibrate the camera;
otherwise, the operation of the associated driving aids may be disrupted.
NOTIC E
Other camerasThe images from the camera(s) displayed on the touch screen or on the instrument panel may be distorted by the relief.

134
WARNI NG
This system does not avoid the need for vigilance on the part of the driver.This system is designed to assist the driver and improve road safety.It is the driver's responsibility to continuously monitor the state of the traffic, observing the driving regulations.
NOTIC E
As soon as the system detects a potential obstacle, it prepares the braking circuit in case automatic braking is needed. This may cause a slight noise and a slight sensation of deceleration.
Operating conditions and
limits
The ESC system must not be faulty.
The DSC/ASR systems must not be deactivated.All passenger seat belts must be fastened.Driving at a steady speed on roads with few bends is required.In the following cases, deactivating the system via the vehicle's configuration menu is advised:– towing a trailer,– carrying long objects on roof bars or roof rack,– with snow chains fitted,
– before using an automatic car wash, with the engine running,– before placing the vehicle on a rolling road in a workshop,– towed vehicle, engine running,– Following an impact to the windscreen close to the detection camera.
NOTIC E
The system is automatically deactivated after the use of certain "space-saver" type spare wheels is detected (smaller diameter).The system is automatically deactivated after detection of a fault with the brake pedal switch or with at least two brake lamps.
WARNI NG
It is possible that warnings are not given, are given too late or seem unjustified.Consequently, always stay in control of your vehicle and be prepared to react at any time to avoid an accident.
WARNI NG
After an impact, the function automatically stops operating. Contact a TOYOTA dealer or a qualified workshop to have the system checked.
Collision Risk Alert
It warns the driver that their vehicle is at risk of collision with the vehicle in front or a pedestrian present in their traffic lane.
Operation
Depending on the degree of risk of collision detected by the system and the alert threshold chosen by the driver, several different levels of alert may be triggered and displayed in the instrument panel.They take account of the vehicle dynamics, the speeds of your vehicle and the one in front, the environmental conditions and the operation of the vehicle (cornering, actions on the pedals, etc.) to trigger the alert at the best moment.Level 1 (orange): visual alert only, signalling that the vehicle in front is very close.The message "Vehicle close" is displayed.Level 2 (red): visual and audible alert, signalling that a collision is imminent.
The message "Brake!" is displayed.Level 3: finally, in some cases, a haptic alert in the form of micro-braking can be given, confirming the risk of collision.

While the direction indicators are on and for a few seconds after switching them off, the system considers that any change of trajectory is voluntary and no correction is triggered during this period.
WARNI NG
If the system detects that the driver is not holding the wheel firmly enough during an automatic correction of trajectory, it interrupts the correction. An alert is triggered to encourage the driver to take back control of the vehicle.
Driving situations and related alerts
The table below describes the alerts and messages displayed in different driving situations.These alerts are not displayed sequentially.

(orange)/(green)
The system corrects the trajectory on the side where the risk of unintentional crossing is detected (orange line).
ON




(orange)/(green)"Hold the wheel"
– If, while correcting the trajectory, the system detects that the driver has not held the steering wheel for a few seconds, it interrupts the correction and returns control to the driver.– If, while correcting the trajectory, the system determines that the correction will not be enough and that a solid line will be crossed (orange line): the driver is warned that they must provide additional trajectory adjustment.The duration of audible warnings will increase if multiple corrections are performed in quick succession. The warning will become continuous, persisting until the driver responds.This message may also be displayed if you have your hands on the steering wheel.
Operating limits
The system goes into standby automatically in the following cases:– ESC deactivated or operation triggered,
– speed below 65 km/h (40 mph) or greater than 180 km/h (112 mph),– electrical connection of a trailer,– use of the "space-saver" spare wheel detected (as detection is not immediate, deactivation of the system is recommended),
– dynamic driving style detected, pressure on the brake or accelerator pedal,– driving where there are no lane markings,– activation of the direction indicators,– crossing the inside line on a bend,– driving in a tight corner,

Malfunction
If the event of malfunction, this warning lamp comes on in the instrument panel, accompanied by the display of a message.Contact a TOYOTA dealer or a qualified workshop to have the system checked.
NOTIC E
The system may suffer temporary interference
in certain weather conditions (rain, hail, etc.).In particular, driving on a wet surface or moving from a dry area to a wet area can cause false alerts (for example, the presence of a fog of water droplets in the blind spot angle is interpreted as a vehicle).In bad or wintry weather, ensure that the sensors are not covered by mud, ice or snow.Take care not to cover the warning zone in the door mirrors or the detection zones on the front and rear bumpers with adhesive labels or other objects; they may hamper correct operation of the system.
Active Blind Spot
Monitoring System
In addition to the fixed warning lamp in the door mirror on the side in question, a correction of trajectory will be felt if you attempt to cross a lane marking with the direction indicators on, to help you avoid a collision.This system is the combination of the Active Lane Departure Warning System and Blind Spot Monitoring System.These two functions must be activated and in operation.The speed of the vehicle must be between 65 and 140 km/h (40 and 87 mph) inclusive.These functions are especially suitable for driving on motorways and main roads.For more information on the Active Lane Departure Warning System and Blind Spot Monitoring System, refer to the corresponding sections.
WARNI NG
This system is a driving aid which cannot, in any circumstances, replace the need for vigilance on the part of the driver.
Distraction detection
Refer to the General recommendations on the use of driving and manoeuvring aids.Take a break in case of feeling tired or at least every 2 hours.Depending on version, the function consists of just the "Coffee Break Alert" system, or of this combined with the "Driver Attention Warning" system.
WARNI NG
These systems are in no way designed to keep the driver awake or to prevent the driver from falling asleep at the wheel. It is the driver’s responsibility to stop if feeling tired.
Activation/Deactivation
The function is activated or deactivated via the vehicle configuration menu.The state of the system stays in the memory when the ignition is switched off.

WARNI NG
The following situations may interfere with the operation of the system or prevent it from working:– lane markings absent, worn, hidden (snow, mud) or multiple (roadworks),– close to the vehicle ahead (lane markings not detected),– roads that are narrow, winding, etc.
Parking sensors
Refer to the General recommendations on the use of driving and manoeuvring aids.

Using sensors located in the bumper, this system signals the proximity of obstacles (e.g. pedestrian, vehicle, tree, barrier) present in their field of detection.
Rear parking sensors
The system is switched on by engaging reverse gear, which is confirmed by an audible signal.The system is switched off when disengaging reverse gear.
Audible assistance

The system signals the presence of obstacles which are both within the sensors’ detection zone and in the vehicle path defined by the direction of the steering wheel.

Depending on version, in the example shown, only the obstacles present in the shaded area will be signalled by the audible assistance.The proximity information is given by an intermittent audible signal, the frequency of
which increases as the vehicle approaches the obstacle.When the distance between the vehicle and the obstacle becomes less than about 30 cm (0 ft 11"), the audible signal becomes continuous.The sound emitted by the speaker (right or left) indicates the side on which the obstacle is located.
NOTIC E
Adjusting the audible signalWith TOYOTA Connect Radio or TOYOTA Connect Nav, pressing this button opens the window for adjusting the volume of the audible signal.
Visual assistance

It supplements the audible assistance, without taking account of the vehicle's trajectory, by displaying bars on the screen that represent the distance between the obstacle and the vehicle (white: more distant obstacles, orange: close obstacles, red: very close obstacles).
