Eco-driving
Eco-driving
Eco-driving refers to a range of everyday practices that allow the motorist to optimise their fuel consumption and CO2emissions.
Optimise your use of the gearbox
With a manual gearbox, move off gently and change up promptly. While accelerating, change up early.With an automatic gearbox, favour automatic mode and avoid pressing the accelerator pedal heavily or suddenly.The gear efficiency indicator prompts you to engage the most suitable gear: whenever this indication is displayed on the instrument panel, follow it straight away.With an automatic gearbox, this indicator appears only in manual mode.
Drive smoothly
Maintain a safe distance between vehicles, use engine braking rather than the brake pedal and press the accelerator gradually. These attitudes
help to save fuel, reduce CO2 emissions and decrease general traffic noise.If the vehicle has the steering-mounted "CRUISE" control, use cruise control at speeds above 40 km/h (25 mph) when the traffic is flowing well.
Use electrical equipment wisely
Before moving off, if the passenger compartment is too warm, ventilate it by opening the windows and air vents before using the air conditioning.At speeds above 50 km/h (31 mph), close the windows and leave the air vents open.Consider using equipment that can help keep the temperature in the passenger compartment down (sunroof blind and window blinds, etc.).Unless automatically regulated, switch off the air conditioning as soon as the desired temperature has been reached.Switch off the demisting and defrosting functions, if they are not managed automatically.Switch off the heated seat as soon as possible.Switch off the headlamps and foglamps when the visibility conditions do not require their use.Avoid running the engine before moving off, particularly in winter; your vehicle will warm up much faster while driving.As a passenger, avoid connecting your multimedia devices (film, music, video game, etc.) to help reduce consumption of electrical
energy, and hence fuel.Disconnect all portable devices before leaving the vehicle.
Limit the causes of excess consumption
Spread loads throughout the vehicle; place the heaviest items in the boot, as close as possible to the rear seats.Limit the loads carried in the vehicle and minimise wind resistance (roof bars, roof rack,
bicycle carrier, trailer, etc.). Preferably, use a roof box.Remove roof bars and roof racks after use.At the end of winter, remove snow tyres and refit summer tyres.
Comply with servicing instructions
Check tyre pressures regularly, with the tyres cold, referring to the label in the door aperture on the driver's side.Carry out this check in particular:– before a long journey.– at each change of season.– after a long period out of use.Do not overlook the spare wheel and, where applicable, the tyres on your trailer or caravan.Have your vehicle serviced regularly (engine oil, oil filter, air filter, passenger compartment filter, etc.) and observe the schedule of operations in the manufacturer's service schedule.With a Diesel engine, if the SCR system is faulty, your vehicle will emit pollution. Visit a TOYOTA dealer or a qualified workshop as soon as
possible to restore your vehicle’s nitrogen oxide emissions to regulatory compliance.When filling the fuel tank, do not continue after the third nozzle cut-out, to avoid overflow.You will only see the fuel consumption of your new vehicle settle down to a consistent average after the first 3,000 kilometres (1,900 miles).

► With the ignition on, press the button until zeros appear.
Engine coolant temperature
With the engine running, when the needle or bar graph (depending on version) is:– in zone A, the engine coolant temperature is correct,
– in zone B, the engine coolant temperature is too high; the maximum temperature and central STOP warning lamps come on, accompanied by an audible signal and a warning message.You MUST stop as soon as it is safe to do so.Wait a few minutes before switching off the engine.Contact a TOYOTA dealer or a qualified workshop.
Checking
After driving for a few minutes, the temperature and pressure in the cooling system increase.To top up the level:► wait at least one hour for the engine to cool,► unscrew the cap by two turns to allow the pressure to drop,► when the pressure has dropped, remove the cap,► top up the level to the "MAX" mark.For more information on Checking levels, refer to the corresponding section.
WARNI NG
Be aware of the risk of scalding when topping up the coolant. Do not fill above the maximum level (indicated on the reservoir).
Engine oil level indicator
On versions fitted with an electric oil gauge, the state of the engine oil level is displayed on the
instrument panel for a few seconds when the ignition is switched on, at the same time as the servicing information.
NOTIC E
The level read will only be correct if the vehicle is on level ground and the engine has been off for more than 30 minutes.
Oil level correct
This is indicated by a message on the instrument panel.
Low oil level
This is indicated by a message on the instrument panel.If the low oil level is confirmed by a check using the dipstick, the level must be topped up to avoid
damaging the engine.

Compatibility of fuels
Petrol fuels conforming to the EN228 standard containing up to 5% and 10% ethanol respectively.
Diesel fuels conforming to the EN590, EN16734 and EN16709 standards and containing up to 7%, 10%, 20% and 30% fatty acid methyl ester respectively. The use of B20 or B30 fuels, even occasionally, imposes special maintenance conditions referred to as "Arduous conditions".
Paraffinic Diesel fuel conforming to the EN15940 standard.
WARNI NG
The use of any other type of (bio) fuel (vegetable or animal oils, pure or diluted, domestic fuel, etc.) is strictly prohibited (risk of damage to the engine and fuel system).
NOTIC E
The only fuel additives authorised for use are those that meet the B715001 (petrol) or B715000 (Diesel) standards.
Diesel at low temperature
At temperatures below 0 °C (+32 °F), the formation of paraffins in summer-type Diesel fuels could prevent the engine from operating correctly. In these temperature conditions, use winter-type Diesel fuel and keep the fuel tank more than 50 % full.At temperatures below -15 °C (+5 °F) to avoid problems starting, it is best to park the vehicle under shelter (heated garage).
Travelling abroad
Certain fuels could damage your vehicle’s engine.In certain countries, the use of a particular fuel may be required (specific octane rating, specific trade name, etc.) to ensure correct operation of the engine.For all additional information, consult a dealer.
Refuelling
Fuel tank capacity: approximately 61 litres (petrol) or 50 litres (Diesel).Reserve level: approximately 6 litres.
Low fuel level

► Grasp the dipstick by its coloured grip and pull it out completely.► Wipe the end of the dipstick using a clean, lint-free cloth.
► Reinsert the dipstick and push fully down, then pull it out again to visually check the oil level: the correct level is between marks A (max) and B (min).Do not start the engine if the level is:– above mark A: contact a TOYOTA dealer or a qualified workshop.– below mark B: top up the engine oil immediately.
WARNI NG
Oil gradeBefore topping up or changing the engine oil, check that the oil is suitable for the engine and complies with the recommendations in the service schedule supplied with the vehicle (or available from your TOYOTA dealer and qualified workshops).Use of non-recommended oil may invalidate the contractual warranty in the event of engine failure.
Topping up the engine oil level
The location of the oil filler cap is shown in the corresponding underbonnet layout view.► Add oil in small quantities, avoiding any spills on engine components (risk of fire).► Wait a few minutes before checking the level again using the dipstick.► Add more oil if necessary.► After checking the level, carefully refit the oil filler cap and the dipstick in its tube.
NOTIC E
During the 30 minutes after topping up the oil, the check performed with the oil level indicator in the instrument panel when the ignition is switched on is not valid.
Brake fluid
The level of this fluid should be close to the "MAX" mark. If not, check the brake pad wear.To know how often the brake fluid should be replaced, refer to the manufacturer's servicing schedule.
WARNI NG
If topping up, clean the cap before replacing
it. Use only DOT4 brake fluid from a sealed canister.
Engine coolant
Check the engine coolant level regularly.It is normal to top up this fluid between two services.The check and top-up must only be done with the engine cold.A low level presents a risk of serious damage to the engine.The level of this fluid should be close to the "MAX" mark but should never exceed it.If the level is close to or below the "MIN” mark, it is essential to top up.When the engine is hot, the temperature of this fluid is regulated by the fan.In addition, as the cooling system is pressurised, wait at least one hour after switching off the engine before carrying out any work.To avoid the risk of scalding if you need to top up in an emergency, wrap a cloth around the cap and unscrew the cap by two turns to allow the pressure to drop.Once the pressure has dropped, remove the cap
and top up to the required level.
Screenwash fluid
Top up to the required level when necessary.Capacity of the tank:– 5.3 litres for "very cold climate" versions.– 2.2 litres for other versions.

NOTIC E
When washing the vehicle at an automatic roller-brush car wash, be sure to lock the doors and, depending on version, remove the electronic key.When using a pressure washer, hold the lance at least 30 cm (0 ft 11") from the vehicle (particularly when cleaning areas containing chipped paint, sensors or seals).Promptly clean up any stains containing chemicals liable to damage the vehicle's paint (including tree resin, bird droppings, insect secretions, pollen and tar).If justified by the environment, clean the vehicle more frequently to remove salty deposits (in coastal areas), soot (in industrial estates) and mud (in wet or cold areas). These substances can be highly corrosive.Contact a TOYOTA dealer or a qualified workshop if you require advice on removing stubborn stains requiring special products (such as tar or insect removers).
Preferably, have paint touch-ups performed by a TOYOTA dealer or a qualified workshop.
Interior
WARNI NG
When washing the vehicle, never use a water hose or high-pressure washer to clean the interior.Liquids carried in cups or other open containers can spill, presenting a risk of damage if they come into contact with the
controls in the dashboard and centre console. Take care!
Bodywork
High-gloss paint
WARNI NG
Do not use abrasive products or solvents, petrol or oil to clean the bodywork.Never use an abrasive sponge to clean stubborn stains. Risk of scratching the paintwork!Do not apply polish in strong sunshine, or to plastic or rubber parts.
NOTIC E
Use a soft sponge and soapy water or a pH neutral product.Gently wipe the bodywork with a clean microfibre cloth.Apply polish with the vehicle clean and dry.Comply with the instructions for use stated on the product.
Decals
(Depending on version)
WARNI NG
Do not use a high pressure washer to clean the vehicle. Risk of damaging or detaching the decals!
NOTIC E
Use a high-flow hose at a temperature between 25°C and 40°C.Sweep the jet of water across the surface to be cleaned, perpendicular to it.Rinse the vehicle with demineralised water.
