Load reduction mode
System that manages the use of certain functions according to the level of charge remaining in the battery.When the vehicle is being driven, the load reduction function temporarily deactivates certain functions, such as the air conditioning and the heated rear screen.The deactivated functions are reactivated automatically as soon as conditions permit.
Snow chains
In wintry conditions, snow chains improve traction as well as the behaviour of the vehicle when braking.
WARNI NG
The snow chains must be fitted only to the front wheels. They must never be fitted to "space-saver" type spare wheels.
NOTIC E
Take account of the legislation specific to each country on the use of snow chains and the maximum authorised speed.
Only use chains that have been designed for the type of wheel fitted to your vehicle.
Original tyre sizeType of chain
215/65 R1612 mm link
215/60 R17
225/55 R17
You can also use snow socks.For more information, contact a any authorized Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or
any reliable repairer..

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.
220
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.Fitting different tyres on the front and rear axles can cause the VSC to mistime.Always mark the direction of rotation on the tyres that will be stored when fitting winter or summer tyres. Store them in a cool, dry place and away from direct exposure to the sun's rays.Winter or 4-seasons tyres can be identified by this symbol on their sidewalls.
Shock absorbers
It is not easy for drivers to detect when shock absorbers are worn. Nevertheless, the shock absorbers have a major impact on road holding and braking performance.For your safety and driving comfort, it is important to have them regularly checked by any authorized Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or any reliable repairer.
Timing and accessory kits
The timing and accessory kits are used from the time the engine is started until it is switched off. It is normal for them to wear over time.A faulty timing or accessory kit can damage the engine, rendering it unusable. Observe the recommended replacement frequency, stated in distance travelled or time elapsed, whichever is reached first.
