NOTIC E
Travelling abroad
If using your vehicle in a country that drives on the other side of the road, the headlamps must be adjusted to avoid dazzling on-coming drivers.Contact a TOYOTA dealer or a qualified workshop.
WARNI NG
In good or rainy weather, by both day and night, use of the front foglamps and the rear foglamps are prohibited. In these situations, the power of their beams may dazzle other drivers. They should only be used in fog or falling snow.In these weather conditions, it is your responsibility to switch on the foglamps and dipped headlamps manually as the sunshine sensor may detect sufficient light.Switch off the front and rear foglamps when they are no longer necessary.
WARNI NG
Never look too closely at the luminous beam of LED headlamps: risk of serious eye injury.
Direction indicators

► Left or right: lower or raise the lighting control lever, beyond the point of resistance.
Three flashes
► Press briefly upwards or downwards, without going beyond the point of resistance; the direction indicators will flash 3 times.
Automatic headlamp
illumination
When a low level of ambient light is detected by a sunshine sensor, the number plate lamps, sidelamps and dipped beam headlamps are switched on automatically, without any action on the part of the driver. They can also come on if rain is detected, at the same time as the automatic rain sensitive wipers.As soon as the brightness returns to a sufficient level or after the windscreen wipers are switched off, the lamps are switched off automatically.

Automatic exterior welcome
lighting
With the "Automatic headlamp illumination" function activated, when the light is poor, the sidelamps and dipped beam headlamps come
on automatically when the vehicle is unlocked.Activation, deactivation and the duration of the exterior welcome lighting are set in the vehicle configuration menu.
Automatic headlamp
dipping
This system automatically changes between dipped and main beam headlamps according to the brightness and driving conditions, using a camera located at the top of the windscreen.
WARNI NG
This system is a driving aid.The driver remains responsible for the vehicle's lighting, its correct use for the prevailing conditions of light, visibility and traffic, and for observation of driving and vehicle regulations.
NOTIC E
The system will be operational as soon as you exceed 25 km/h (16 mph).If the speed drops below 15 km/h (9 mph), the system no longer operates.


Activation/Deactivation
Activation and deactivation are done via the vehicle configuration menu.When deactivated, the lighting system changes to "automatic illumination of headlamps" mode.The state of the system stays in the memory when switching off the ignition.
Operation
If the ambient light level is sufficient and/or the traffic conditions do not allow the main beam headlamps to be lit:– The dipped beam headlamps remain lit. These indicator lamps come on on the instrument panel.If the ambient light level is very low and traffic conditions permit:– The main beam headlamps come on automatically. These

70
indicator lamps come on on the instrument panel.The function is deactivated if the fog lamps are switched on or the system detects dense fog.When the fog lamps are switched off or the vehicle leaves the area of dense fog, the function is automatically reactivated.This indicator lamp goes out when the function is deactivated.
Pause
If the situation requires a change of headlamp beam, the driver can take over at any time.► A "headlamp flash" pauses the function and the system changes to "automatic illumination of headlamps" mode:– if the "AUTO" and "Dipped beam" indicator lamps were on, the system changes to main beam,– if the "AUTO" and "Main beam" indicator lamps were on, the system changes to dipped beam.To reactivate the system, flash the headlamps
again.
NOTIC E
The system may suffer interference or not work correctly:– under conditions of poor visibility (snow, heavy rain, etc.),
– if the windscreen in front of the camera is dirty, misted or obscured (for example, by a sticker, etc.),– if the vehicle is facing highly reflective signs.When the system detects thick fog, it temporarily deactivates the function.The system is not able to detect:– road users that do not have their own lighting, such as pedestrians,– vehicles whose lighting is obscured (for example: vehicles running behind a safety barrier on a motorway),– vehicles at the top or bottom of a steep slope, on winding roads, on crossroads.
WARNI NG
Clean the windscreen regularly, particularly the area in front of the camera.The internal surface of the windscreen can also become misted around the camera. In humid and cold weather, demist the windscreen regularly.Do not allow snow to accumulate on the bonnet or roof of the vehicle as this could obstruct the detection camera.
Headlamp beam height

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.

Switching to the mode
A message indicating that the vehicle has switched to economy mode is displayed on the instrument panel screen and the active functions are put on standby.
NOTIC E
If a telephone call is in progress at the time, it will be maintained for around 10 minutes using your audio system’s hands-free system.
Exiting the mode
These functions will be automatically reactivated the next time the vehicle is used.In order to restore the use of these functions immediately, start the engine and let it run:– for less than 10 minutes, to use the equipment for approximately 5 minutes,– for more than 10 minutes, to use the equipment for approximately 30 minutes.
Let the engine run for the duration specified to ensure that the battery charge is sufficient.Do not repeatedly and continuously restart the engine in order to charge the battery.
WARNI NG
A flat battery prevents the engine from starting.For more information on the 12 V battery,
refer to the corresponding section.
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.Remove the roof bars once they are no longer needed.
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).
