Lighting and visibility
4
WARNI NG
This system is a driving aid.The driver remains responsible for the vehicle's lighting, its correct use for the prevailing conditions of light, visibility and traffic, and for observation of driving and vehicle regulations.
NOTIC E
The system will be operational as soon as you exceed 25 km/h (16 mph).If the speed drops below 15 km/h (9 mph), the system no longer operates.
Activation/Deactivation
With/without audio system
► To activate or deactivate the system, press this button.The indicator lamp in the button is on when the function is activated.
With touch screen
The settings are adjusted via the vehicle configuration menu.► Then put the lighting control stalk ring in the "AUTO" or "Dipped/main beam position".
Pause
If the situation requires a change of headlamp beam, the driver can take over at any time.► A "headlamp flash" pauses the function and the lighting system switches to "automatic illumination of lamps" mode:– If the "AUTO" and "Dipped beam" indicator lamps were on, the system changes to main beam.– If the "AUTO" and "Main beam" indicator lamps were on, the system changes to dipped beam.► To reactivate the function, once again switch the headlamps manually between dipped and main beam.
NOTIC E
Flashing the headlamps does not deactivate the system.The state of the system is stored when the ignition is switched off.
NOTIC E
The system may suffer interference or not work correctly:– under conditions of poor visibility (snow, heavy rain, etc.),– if the windscreen in front of the camera is dirty, misted or obscured (for example, by a sticker, etc.),– if the vehicle is facing highly reflective signs.When the system detects thick fog, it temporarily deactivates the function.The system is not able to detect:– road users that do not have their own lighting, such as pedestrians,– vehicles whose lighting is obscured (for example: vehicles running behind a safety barrier on a motorway),– vehicles at the top or bottom of a steep slope, on winding roads, on crossroads.

WARNI NG
When the engine is running at idle with the brakes released, if position R, D or M is selected, the vehicle moves even without the accelerator being pressed.Never leave children inside the vehicle unsupervised.As a safety measure, never leave the vehicle without taking your key or remote control with you, even for a short time.When carrying out maintenance with the engine running, apply the parking brake and select position P.
WARNI NG
With an automatic gearbox, never try to start the engine by pushing the vehicle.
Automatic operation
► Select position D for automatic changing of the gears.The gearbox then operates in auto-adaptive mode, without any intervention on the part of the driver. It continuously selects the most suitable gear according to the driving style, the road profile and the load in the vehicle.For maximum acceleration without touching the selector, press the accelerator fully down (kick-down).
The gearbox changes down automatically or holds the gear selected until the maximum engine speed is reached.When braking, the gearbox changes down automatically to provide effective engine braking.If the accelerator pedal is sharply released, the gearbox will not shift to a higher gear for safety reasons.
WARNI NG
Never select position N while the vehicle is moving.Never select positions P or R unless the vehicle is completely stationary.
Temporary manual control
of gear changes
You can temporarily assume control of gear changing using the "+" et "-” steering-mounted controls. The gear change request will be executed if the engine speed permits. This function allows you to anticipate certain situations, such as overtaking another vehicle or approaching a bend in the road. After a few seconds with no inputs via the control paddles, the gearbox reverts to automatic operation.
Creeping (moving without
using the accelerator)
This function facilitates manoeuvring of the vehicle at low speed (when parking, in traffic jams, etc.).When the engine is at idle, with the parking brake released and gear position D, M or R selected, the vehicle begins to creep forward as soon as you take your foot off the brake pedal (even without pressing the accelerator).
WARNI NG
As a safety precaution, never leave the vehicle with the engine running and the doors closed.
Manual operation
► With the selector in position D, press button M to enable 6- or 8-speed sequential gear changing.The indicator lamp for the button comes on.► Operate the "+" or "-" steering mounted controls. M appears and the engaged gears are shown in succession on the instrument panel.► You can revert to automatic operation at any time by pressing button M again.The indicator lamp for the button goes off.

For example, to change from P to R (with your foot on the brake pedal), either push forwards twice without passing the point of resistance or push just once, passing the point of resistance.
Regenerative braking
With the Brake function and when decelerating
The Brake function emulates engine braking, slowing the vehicle with no need to depress the brake pedal. The vehicle slows more quickly when the driver releases the accelerator pedal.The energy recovered when the accelerator pedal is released is then used to partially recharge the traction battery, thereby increasing the vehicle's driving range.
WARNI NG
The resulting deceleration of the vehicle does not cause the brake lamps to come on.
► From mode D, press button B to activate/deactivate the function (the button lights up when the function is activated).D on the instrument panel is replaced with B.The system status is saved when the ignition is switched off.
WARNI NG
In some situations (e.g. battery full, extreme temperatures), the amount of regenerative braking may be temporarily limited, resulting in less deceleration.The driver must remain alert to traffic conditions and must always be ready to use the brake pedal.
With the brake pedal
When the brake pedal is depressed, the intelligent braking system automatically recovers some of the energy and uses it to recharge the traction battery.This energy recovery also reduces use of the brake pads, thereby limiting their wear.
NOTIC E
The driver may experience a different sensation when depressing the brake pedal compared to a vehicle without regenerative braking.
Driving modes (Electric)
Driving modes are selected using the following control:
Pressing the control displays the modes on the instrument panel and, depending on version, on the screen with TOYOTA Pro Touch with navigation system.You cannot select a mode if the READY lamp is off.When the message disappears, the selected mode is activated and remains indicated on the
instrument panel (except Normal mode).Each time the ignition is switched on, Normal mode is selected by default.
Normal
This optimises the driving range and dynamic performance.To obtain maximum torque and power, depress the accelerator pedal fully.

WARNI NG
12 V batteryThe Stop & Start system requires a 12 V battery of specific technology and specification.All work must be carried out only by any authorized Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or any reliable repairer.
Under-inflation detection
This system automatically checks the pressures of the tyres while driving.It compares the information given by the wheel speed sensors with reference values, which must be reinitialised every time the tyre pressures are adjusted or a wheel changed.The system triggers an alert as soon as it detects a drop in the inflation pressure of one or more tyres.
WARNI NG
Under-inflation detection does not replace the need for vigilance on the part of the driver.This system does not avoid the need to regularly check the tyre pressures (including the spare wheel) as well as before a long journey.Driving with under-inflated tyres, particularly in adverse conditions (heavy load, high speed, long journey):– worsens road-holding.– lengthens braking distances.– causes premature wear of the tyres.– increases fuel consumption.
NOTIC E
The inflation pressures defined for the vehicle can be found on the tyre pressure label.For more information on the Identification markings, refer to the corresponding section.
WARNI NG
Checking tyre pressuresThis check should be done when the tyres are "cold" (vehicle stopped for 1 hour or after
a journey of less than 10 km (6 miles) at moderate speeds).Otherwise, add 0.3 bar to the pressures shown on the label.
NOTIC E
Snow chainsThe system does not have to be reinitialised after fitting or removing snow chains.
NOTIC E
Spare wheelThe steel spare wheel does not have an under-inflation detection sensor.
Under-inflation alert
This is signalled by the fixed illumination of this warning lamp, accompanied by an audible signal and, depending on equipment, the display of a message.► Reduce speed immediately, avoid excessive steering movements and avoid sudden braking.► Stop the vehicle as soon as it is safe to do so.
WARNI NG
The loss of pressure detected may not always cause visible deformation of the tyre.Do not rely on just a visual check.
► Using a compressor, such as the one in the temporary puncture repair kit, check the pressures of all four tyres when cold.

To modify the limit speed setting based on the vehicle’s current speed:► Briefly press button 2 or 3 to change the value in steps of + or - 1 mph (1.6 km/h).► Press and hold button 2 or 3 to change the value in steps of + or - 5 mph (8 km/h).To change the limit speed setting using memorised speeds, via the touch screen:► Press button 5 to display the memorised speed settings.► Press the touch screen button for the desired speed setting.The selection screen closes after a few moments.This setting becomes the new limit speed.To modify the cruise speed setting based on the speed suggested by the Speed Limit Recognition and Recommendation, as shown on the instrument panel:► Press button 5 once; a message is displayed to confirm the memorisation request.► Press button 5 again to save the suggested speed.
The speed is immediately shown on the instrument panel as the new speed setting.
Temporarily exceeding the
programmed speed
► To temporarily exceed the programmed speed threshold, fully depress the accelerator pedal.
The speed limiter is deactivated temporarily and the displayed programmed speed flashes.If it is exceeded for a prolonged period of time, an audible warning is triggered.Simply release the accelerator pedal to return to below the programmed speed.When the limit speed is exceeded but this is not due to action by the driver (in case of a steep slope, for example), an audible signal triggers immediately.Once the speed of the vehicle returns to the programmed setting, the speed limiter functions again: the display of the programmed speed setting becomes fixed again.
Switching off
► Turn the thumbwheel 1 to the "0" position: the display of information on the speed limiter disappears.
Malfunction
Dashes are displayed (flashing, initially, then fixed) in the event of a speed limiter malfunction.Have it checked by any authorized Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or any reliable repairer.
Cruise control - particular
recommendations
WARNI NG
For the safety of everyone, only use the cruise control where the driving conditions allow running at a constant speed and keeping an adequate safety distance.
Remain vigilant when the cruise control is activated. If you hold one of the speed setting modification buttons, a very rapid change in the speed of your vehicle may occur.When descending a steep hill, the cruise control system cannot prevent the vehicle from exceeding the set speed. Brake if necessary to control the speed of your vehicle.On steep climbs or when towing, the set speed may not be reached or maintained.
NOTIC E
Exceeding the programmed speed settingYou can temporarily exceed the speed setting by pressing the accelerator pedal (the programmed speed flashes).To return to the speed setting, release the accelerator pedal (when the set speed is reached again, the displayed speed stops flashing).

Audible assistance
The function signals the presence of obstacles present within the sensors’ detection zone.The proximity information is given by an intermittent audible signal, the frequency of which increases as the vehicle approaches the obstacle.When the distance between the vehicle and the obstacle becomes less than about thirty centimetres, the audible signal becomes continuous.The sound emitted by the speaker (right or left) allows you to identify the side on which the obstacle is located.
Visual assistance
This supplements the audible signal by displaying bars on the screen that move progressively nearer to the vehicle (green: more distant obstacles; yellow: close obstacles; red: very close obstacles).When the obstacle is very close, the "Danger" symbol is displayed on the screen.
Front parking sensors
In addition to the rear parking sensors, the front parking sensors are triggered when an obstacle is detected in front and the speed of the vehicle is still below 10 km/h (6 mph).The front parking sensors are interrupted if the vehicle stops for more than three seconds in forward gear, if an obstacle is no longer detected
or when the speed of the vehicle exceeds 10 km/h (6 mph).
NOTIC E
The sound emitted by the speaker (front or rear) locates the obstacle relative to the vehicle, in front or behind it.
Deactivation/Activation
Without audio system
► To deactivate or activate the system, press this button.The indicator lamp is on when the system is deactivated.
With audio system or touch screen
The settings are changed via the vehicle configuration menu.
NOTIC E
The rear parking sensors system will be deactivated automatically if a trailer or bicycle carrier is connected to a towing device installed in accordance with the manufacturer's recommendations.
Operating limits
If the boot is heavily loaded, the vehicle may tilt, affecting distance measurements.

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).

You can choose the display mode at any time by pressing this area.When the sub-menu is displayed, select one of the four views:"Standard view".
"180° view".
"Zoom view".
"AUTO mode".
NOTIC E
The function will be deactivated:– If a trailer is attached or a bicycle carrier is fitted on a towing device (vehicle fitted with a towing device installed in line with the manufacturer's recommendations).– Above about 6 mph (10 km/h).– When the boot is opened.– Upon changing out of reverse gear (the image remains displayed for 7 seconds).– By pressing the white arrow in the upper-left corner of the touch screen.
AUTO mode
This mode is activated by default.Using sensors in the rear bumper, the automatic view changes from the rear view (standard) to the view from above (zoom) as an obstacle is approached at the level of the red line (less than 30 cm) during a manoeuvre.
Standard view
The area behind the vehicle is displayed on the screen.The blue lines 1 represent the width of your vehicle, with the mirrors unfolded; their direction changes depending on the position of the steering wheel.The red line 2 represents a distance of 30 cm (0 ft 11") from the rear bumper; the two blue lines 3 and 4 represent 1 m and 2 m (3 ft 3" and 6 ft 6"), respectively.
This view is available with AUTO mode or in the view selection menu.
