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.

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.
NOTIC E
After washing the vehicle, moisture, or in wintry conditions, ice can form on the brake discs and pads: braking efficiency may be reduced. Gently dab the brakes to dry and defrost them.
Brake disc/drum wear
For any information on checking brake disc/drum wear, contact any authorized Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or any reliable repairer.
Wheels and tyres
The inflation pressure of all tyres, including the spare wheel, must be checked on "cold” tyres.The pressures indicated on the tyre pressure label are valid for "cold" tyres. If you have driven for more than 10 minutes or more than 10 km (6 miles) at over 50 km/h (31 mph), add 0.3 bar (30 kPa) to the values indicated on the label.
WARNI NG
Under-inflation increases fuel consumption. Non-compliant tyre pressure causes premature wear on tyres and has an adverse effect on the vehicle's road holding - risk of an accident!
Driving with worn or damaged tyres reduces the braking and road holding performance of the vehicle. It is recommended to regularly check the condition of the tyres (tread and sidewalls) and wheel rims as well as the presence of the valves.When the wear indicators no longer appear set back from the tread, the depth of the grooves is less than 1.6 mm; it is imperative to replace the tyres.Using different size wheels and tyres from those specified can affect the lifetime of tyres, wheel
rotation, ground clearance, the speedometer reading and have an adverse effect on road holding.

If justified by the environment, clean the vehicle frequently to remove salty deposits (in coastal areas), soot (in industrial areas) and mud/salts (in wet or cold areas). These substances can be highly corrosive.Contact any authorized Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or any reliable repairer for advice on removing stubborn stains requiring special products (such as tar
or insect removers).Preferably, have paint touch-ups performed by any authorized Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or any reliable repairer.
Interior
WARNI NG
When washing the vehicle, never use a water hose or high-pressure jet to clean the interior.Liquids carried in cups or other open containers can spill, presenting a risk of damage to the instruments and controls and the controls located on the centre console. Be vigilant!To clean instrument panels, touch screens or other displays, wipe gently with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use products (e.g. alcohol,
disinfectant) or soapy water directly on these surfaces - risk of damage!
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.
Textured paint
This type of paint reacts under the effect of light, through variations in appearance and finish that highlight the lines and contours of the vehicle. Its varnish is enriched with particles that remain visible and create a unique satin effect with relief. Its slightly granular texture gives it a
surprising touch.
WARNI NG
Never attempt to clean without water.Never clean your vehicle in an automatic roller-brush car wash.Never select the programme with hot wax finish.Never use high-pressure lances equipped with brushes - risk of scratching paint!
Never apply glossy polish or preservatives to the bodywork or alloy wheels; these products irreversibly reveal glossy or spotted areas.
NOTIC E
Choose high-pressure wash, or at least high-flow water jet.Rinse the vehicle with demineralised water.Only a clean microfibre cloth is recommended for wiping the vehicle; pass it over the vehicle without rubbing.Carefully wipe off any fuel spilt on the bodywork using a soft cloth, then allow to dry.Clean off minor marks (for example, finger marks), using a maintenance product recommended by TOYOTA.
