Installation tips
► If you have to fit the chains during a journey, stop the vehicle on a flat surface on the side of the road.► Apply the parking brake and position any wheel chocks under the wheels to prevent movement of your vehicle.► Fit the chains following the instructions provided by the manufacturer.► Move off gently and drive for a few moments, without exceeding 50 km/h (31 mph).► Stop your vehicle and check that the snow chains are correctly tightened.
NOTIC E
It is strongly recommended that before you leave, you practise fitting the snow chains on a level and dry surface.
WARNI NG
Avoid driving with snow chains on roads that have been cleared of snow to avoid damaging your vehicle's tyres and the road surface. If your vehicle is fitted with alloy wheels, check that no part of the chain or its fixings is in contact with the wheel rim.
Towing device
Load distribution► Distribute the load in the trailer so that the heaviest items are as close as possible to the axle and the nose weight approaches the maximum permitted without exceeding it.Air density decreases with altitude, thus reducing engine performance. The maximum towed load must be reduced by 10 % for every 1,000 metres (3,280 ft) of altitude.
NOTIC E
Use towing devices and their unmodified harnesses approved by TOYOTA. It is recommended that the installation be performed by any authorized Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or any reliable repairer.If the towing device is not fitted by any authorized Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or any reliable repairer, it must still be fitted in accordance with the vehicle manufacturer's instructions.Certain driving assistance or manoeuvring assistance functions are automatically disabled if an approved towbar is used.
WARNI NG
Observe the maximum authorised towable weight, indicated on your vehicle's registration certificate, the manufacturer's label as well as in the Technical data section of this guide.Complying with the maximum authorised nose weight (towball) also includes the use of accessories (bicycle carriers, tow boxes, etc.).
WARNI NG
Observe the legislation in force in the country in which you are driving.
NOTIC E
Electric motorAn electric vehicle may be fitted with a towing device.It is therefore possible to tow a trailer or caravan.Contact any authorized Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or any reliable repairer for more information and to obtain a suitable towing device.

Air filter
Depending on the environment and the use of the vehicle (e.g. dusty atmosphere, city driving), change it twice as often, if necessary.
Oil filter
Change the oil filter each time the engine oil is changed.
Particle filter (Diesel)
The start of clogging of the particle filter is indicated by the temporary lighting of this warning lamp, accompanied by an alert message.As soon as the traffic conditions permit, regenerate the filter by driving at a speed of at least 60 km/h (37 mph) until the warning lamp goes off.
NOTIC E
If the warning lamp stays on, this indicates a low Diesel additive level.For more information on Checking levels, refer to the corresponding section.
NOTIC E
Following prolonged operation of the vehicle at very low speed or at idle, you may, in exceptional circumstances, notice the emission of water vapour at the exhaust while accelerating. This has no impact on the vehicle’s behaviour or the environment.
NOTIC E
New vehicleDuring the first few particle filter regeneration operations, you may notice a "burning" smell. This is perfectly normal.
Manual gearbox
The gearbox does not require any maintenance (no oil change).
Automatic gearbox
The gearbox does not require any maintenance (no oil change).
Drive selector (Electric)
The drive selector does not require any maintenance.
Manual parking brake
If you notice excessive brake lever travel or decreased effectiveness, the parking
brake must be adjusted, even between two services.This system must be checked by any authorized Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or any reliable repairer.
Electric parking brake
This system does not require any routine servicing. However, in the event of a problem, do not hesitate to have the system checked by a TOYOTA dealer or a qualified workshop.
NOTIC E
For more information on the Electric parking brake, refer to the corresponding section.
Brake pads
Brake wear depends on the style of driving, particularly in the case of vehicles used in town, over short distances. It may be necessary to have the condition of the brakes checked, even between vehicle services.Unless there is a leak in the circuit, a drop in the brake fluid level indicates that the brake pads are worn.

Accessing the AdBlue® tank

► To access the AdBlue® tank, open the front left-hand door.
► From below, pull the black cover.
► Turn the blue cap a 6th of a turn anti-clockwise.► Release the cap upwards.► With a container of AdBlue®: after checking the expiry date, read the instructions on the label carefully before pouring the contents of the container into the vehicle's AdBlue tank.► With an AdBlue® pump: insert the nozzle and fill the tank until the nozzle automatically cuts out.► After filling, perform the same sequence of operations in reverse order.

► Refit the black cover, starting at the top.
WARNI NG
In order not to overfill the AdBlue® tank:– Add between 10 and 13 litres using AdBlue® containers.– Stop after the nozzle’s first automatic cut-out, if you are refilling at a service station.The system only registers AdBlue® top-ups of 5 litres or more.

WARNI NG
Go to any authorized Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or any reliable repairer as soon as possible.You must tell the technician that the kit has been used. After inspection, the technician will advise you on whether the tyre can be repaired or if it must be replaced.
► Adjust the tyre pressure using the compressor (to inflate: set switch B to position "I"; to deflate: set switch B to position "O" and press button C), according to the vehicle's tyre pressure label located by the driver's door.A subsequent loss of pressure indicates that the puncture has not been fully sealed; contact any authorized Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or any reliable repairer to have your vehicle repaired.► Remove the kit and stow it.► Drive at reduced speed (50 mph (80 km/h)
max.), limiting the distance travelled to approximately 125 miles (200 km).
NOTIC E
The compressor can also be used, without injecting sealant, to check and adjust the tyre pressures.
NOTIC E
If after approximately 7 minutes the required pressure is not reached, this indicates that the tyre is irreparably damaged; contact any authorized Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or any reliable repairer for assistance.
WARNI NG
Do not drive more than 125 miles (200 km) with a repaired tyre; see any authorized Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or any reliable repairer to have the tyre changed.
WARNI NG
Should the pressure of one or more tyres be adjusted, it is necessary to reinitialise the under-inflation detection system.For more information on Tyre under-inflation detection, refer to the corresponding section.
