WARNI NG
It is possible that warnings are not given, are given too late or seem unjustified.The driver must always stay in control of the vehicle and be prepared to react at any time to avoid an accident.
WARNI NG
Following an impact, the system is automatically deactivated.Have it checked by any authorized Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or any reliable repairer.
Collision Risk Alert
This function warns the driver that their vehicle is at risk of a collision with the vehicle in front, or with a pedestrian or cyclist present in their traffic lane.
Modifying the alert trigger threshold
This trigger threshold determines the sensitivity with which the function warns of the risk of collision.The threshold is set via the vehicle configuration menu with the audio system or touch screen.► Select one of the three pre-defined thresholds: "Far", "Normal" or "Near".
The last threshold selected is memorised when the ignition is switched off.
Operation
Depending on the degree of risk of collision detected by the system and the alert trigger threshold chosen by the driver, several different levels of alert may be triggered and displayed on the instrument panel.The system takes account of the vehicle dynamics, the speed of your vehicle and the one in front, the environmental conditions and the operation of the vehicle (actions on the pedals, steering wheel, etc.) to trigger the alert at the most relevant moment.Level 1 (orange): visual alert only, warning that the vehicle in front is very close.The message "Vehicle Near" is displayed.Level 2 (red): visual and audible alert, warning that a collision is imminent.The message "Brake!" is displayed.
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 not displayed when there is a stationary obstacle or when the "Near" trigger threshold has been selected.
Intelligent emergency
braking assistance (iEBA)
If the driver brakes, but not sufficiently to avoid a collision, this system will provide additional braking, within the limits of the laws of physics.This assistance will only be provided if the driver presses 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.

188
NOTIC E
No warning is transmitted while the direction indicator is active and for approximately 20 seconds after the direction indicator is switched off.

Detection may be impeded:– If the markings on the ground are worn and not clearly contrasted against the road surface.– If the windscreen is dirty.– In certain extreme weather conditions: fog, heavy rain, snow, shade, bright sunlight or direct exposure to the sun (e.g. low sun, leaving a tunnel).
Distraction detection
WARNI NG
Refer to the General recommendations on the use of driving and manoeuvring aids.
Depending on version, the function consists of either the "Coffee Break Alert" system alone or combined with the "Driver Attention Alert"
system.
WARNI NG
These systems are in no way designed to keep the driver awake or to prevent the driver from falling asleep at the wheel. It is the driver’s responsibility to stop if feeling tired.Take a break in case of feeling tired or at least every 2 hours.
Activation/Deactivation
This function is set via the vehicle configuration menu.The state of the system is memorised when the ignition is switched off.
Coffee Break Alert
The system triggers an alert as soon as it detects that the driver has not taken a

break after two hours of driving at a speed above 65 km/h (40 mph).This alert is issued via the display of a message encouraging you to take a break, accompanied by an audible signal.If the driver does not follow this advice, the alert is repeated hourly until the vehicle is stopped.The system resets itself if one of the following conditions is met:– engine running, the vehicle has been stationary for more than 15 minutes,– the ignition has been switched off for a few minutes,– the driver's seat belt is unfastened and their door is opened.
NOTIC E
As soon as the speed of the vehicle drops below 65 km/h (40 mph), the system goes into standby.The driving time is counted again once the speed is above 65 km/h (40 mph).
Driver Attention Warning
Depending on version, the "Coffee Break Alert" system is combined with the "Driver Attention Warning" system.

Using a camera placed at the top of the windscreen, the system assesses the driver's level of vigilance, fatigue or distraction by identifying variations in trajectory compared to the lane markings.This system is particularly suited to fast roads (speed higher than 40 mph (65 km/h)).At a first-level alert, the driver is warned by the “Take care!” message, accompanied by an audible signal.After three first-level alerts, the system triggers a further alert with the message "Dangerous driving: take a break", accompanied by a more pronounced audible signal.
NOTIC E
In certain driving conditions (poor road surface or strong winds), the system may give alerts independent of the driver's level of vigilance.
WARNI NG
The following situations may interfere with the operation of the system or prevent it from working:– lane markings absent, worn, hidden (snow, mud) or multiple (roadworks),– close to the vehicle ahead (lane markings not detected),– roads that are narrow, winding, etc.

Top Rear Vision
WARNI NG
Refer to the General recommendations on the use of driving and manoeuvring aids.


As soon as reverse gear is engaged with the engine running, this system displays views of your vehicle’s close surroundings on the touch screen using a camera located at the rear of the vehicle.



The screen is divided into two parts with a contextual view and a view from above the vehicle in its close surroundings.The parking sensors supplement the information on the view from above the vehicle.Various contextual views may be displayed:– Standard view.– 180° view.– Zoom view.AUTO mode is activated by default.In this mode, the system chooses to display the best view (standard or zoom).You can change the type of view at any time during a manoeuvre.The state of the function is not saved when the
ignition is switched off.
Principle of operation

Using the rear camera, the vehicle's close surroundings are recorded during manoeuvres at low speed.An image from above your vehicle in its close surroundings is reconstructed (represented between the brackets) in real time and as the manoeuvre progresses.It facilitates the alignment of your vehicle when parking and allows obstacles close to the vehicle to be seen. It is automatically deleted if the vehicle remains stationary for too long.
Activation
Activation is automatic on engaging reverse gear at a speed lower than 6 mph (10 km/h).

Compatibility of fuels
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 Diesel fuel additives authorised for use are those that meet the B715000 standard.
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 69 litres.Reserve level: approximately 6 litres.
Low fuel level
When the low fuel level is reached, one of these warning lamps lights up on the instrument panel, accompanied by the display of a message and an audible signal. When it first comes on, about 8 litres of fuel remain.You must refuel as soon as possible to avoid running out of fuel.For more information on Running out of fuel (Diesel), refer to the corresponding section.
NOTIC E
A small arrow by the warning lamp indicates which side of the vehicle the fuel filler flap is located on.

Fuel cut-off
Your vehicle is fitted with a safety system that cuts off the supply of fuel in the event of an impact.
Misfuel prevention (Diesel)
(Depending on country of sale.)This mechanical device prevents filling the tank of a Diesel vehicle with petrol.Located in the filler neck, the misfuel prevention device appears when the filler cap is removed.

When a petrol filler nozzle is inserted into the fuel filler neck of a Diesel vehicle, it comes into contact with the flap. The system remains closed and prevents filling.Do not persist but introduce a Diesel type filler nozzle.
NOTIC E
It remains possible to use a fuel jerrycan to fill the tank.In order to ensure a good flow of fuel, do not place the nozzle of the fuel can in direct contact with the flap of the misfuel prevention device.
NOTIC E
Travelling abroadAs Diesel fuel pump nozzles may be different in other countries, the presence of the misfuel prevention device may make refuelling impossible.Before travelling abroad, it is advisable to check with any authorized Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or any reliable repairer if the vehicle is suitable for the distribution equipment of the countries visited.
