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.

The windscreen wash jets are incorporated into the tip of each wiper arm.Screenwash fluid is sprayed along the length of the wiper blade. This improves visibility and reduces screenwash fluid consumption.In some cases, depending on the contents or colour of the fluid and on the exterior
brightness, the liquid spray may be barely noticeable.

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).
