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 suitable 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.

Advice
WARNI NG
The driver must ensure that passengers use the seat belts correctly and that they are all fastened before setting off.Wherever you are seated in the vehicle, always fasten your seat belt, even for short journeys.Do not interchange the seat belt buckles, as they will not fulfil their role fully.Before and after use, ensure that the seat belt is reeled in correctly.After folding or moving a seat or rear bench seat, ensure that the seat belt is positioned and reeled in correctly.
WARNI NG
InstallationThe lower part of the strap must be positioned as low as possible on the pelvis.The upper part must be positioned in the hollow of the shoulder.In order to be effective, a seat belt must:– be tightened as close to the body as possible,– be pulled in front of you with a smooth movement, checking that it does not twist,– be used to restrain only one person,– not show any signs of cuts or fraying,– not be converted or modified in order not to affect its performance.
WARNI NG
Recommendations for childrenUse a suitable child seat if the passenger is less than 12 years old or shorter than one and a half metres (4 ft 11").Never use the same seat belt to secure more than one child.Never carry a child on your lap.For more information on Child seats, refer to the corresponding section.
WARNI NG
MaintenanceIn accordance with current safety regulations, for all repairs on your vehicle's seat belts, go to a qualified workshop with the skills and equipment needed, which a TOYOTA dealer is able to provide.Have the seat belts checked regularly by a TOYOTA dealer or a qualified workshop, particularly if the straps show signs of damage.Clean the seat belt straps with soapy water or a textile cleaning product, sold by TOYOTA dealers.
WARNI NG
In the event of an impactDepending on the nature and seriousness of impacts, the pyrotechnic pretensioner device may trigger before and independently
of airbag deployment. Deployment of the pretensioners is accompanied by a slight discharge of harmless smoke and a noise, due to the activation of the pyrotechnic cartridge incorporated in the system.In all cases, the airbag warning lamp comes on.Following an impact, have the seat belt system checked, and if necessary replaced, by a TOYOTA dealer or a qualified workshop.

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.

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.
With the Keyless Entry and Starting
► Place the remote control inside the vehicle, in the recognition zone.► Press the “START/STOP” button.
With a manual gearbox, the steering column unlocks and the engine starts more or less instantly.With the EAT8 automatic gearbox, the engine starts more or less instantly.
NOTIC E
The warning lamp does not come on if the engine is already warm. In some climatic conditions, it is advised to follow the
recommendations below:– In mild conditions, do not leave the engine at idle to warm up but move off straight away and drive at moderate speed. Depending on
version, if the air conditioning is activated and when the exterior temperature exceeds 35°C, the idle engine speed can accelerate up to 1,300 rpm depending on the air conditioning requirements.– In wintry conditions, when the ignition is switched on, the duration of lighting of the preheating indicator lamp is extended. Wait until it goes off before starting the engine.– In very severe wintry conditions (temperature below -23°C), to ensure correct operation and durability of the mechanical components of the vehicle, 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!

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.

NOTIC E
Where the speed of your vehicle is too high approaching another vehicle, the first level of alert may not be displayed: the level 2 alert may be displayed directly.Important: the level 1 alert is never displayed for a stationary obstacle or when the "Close" trigger threshold has been selected.
Modifying the alert trigger threshold
This threshold determines how you wish to be warned of the presence of a moving or stationary vehicle in front of you, or a pedestrian present in your traffic lane.The current threshold can be modified via the vehicle configuration menu.You can select one of three pre-defined thresholds:– "Distant",– "Normal",
– "Close".The last threshold selected is memorised when the ignition is switched off.
Intelligent emergency
braking assistance
If the driver brakes, but not sufficiently to avoid a collision, this system will supplement the braking, within the limits of the laws of physics.
This assistance will only be provided if you press the brake pedal.
Active Safety Brake
This function, also called automatic emergency braking, intervenes following the alerts if the driver does not react quickly enough and does
not operate the vehicle's brakes.It aims to reduce the speed of impact or avoid a collision where the driver fails to react.
Operation
The system operates under the following conditions:– The vehicle's speed does not exceed 60 km/h (37 mph) when a pedestrian is detected.
– The vehicle's speed does not exceed 80 km/h (50 mph) when a stationary vehicle is detected.– The vehicle's speed is between 10 km/h and 85 km/h (6 mph and 53 mph) when a moving vehicle is detected.This warning lamp flashes (for about 10 seconds) once the function is acting on the vehicle's brakes.With an automatic gearbox, in the event of automatic emergency braking until the vehicle comes to a complete stop, keep the brake pedal pressed down to prevent the vehicle from starting off again.With a manual gearbox, in the event of automatic emergency braking until the vehicle comes to a complete stop, the engine may stall.
NOTIC E
The driver can maintain control of the vehicle at any time by sharply turning the steering wheel and/or pressing the accelerator pedal.
