The ISOFIX child seats are fitted with two latches which are secured on the two front rings A.Some child seats also have an upper strap which is attached to rear ring B.To secure the child seat to the Top Tether:– remove and stow the head restraint before installing a child seat on this seat (refit it once the child seat has been removed),– pass the strap of the child seat over the top of the seat backrest, centring it between the openings for the head restraint rods,– attach the hook of the upper strap to rear ring B,– tighten the upper strap.
WARNI NG
Incorrect installation of a child seat in a vehicle compromises the protection of the child in the event of an accident.Strictly follow the fitting instructions provided in the installation guide supplied with the child seat.
Recommended ISOFIX
child seats
NOTIC E
Also consult the user guide from the child seat’s manufacturer to find out how to install and remove the seat.
Group 0+: from birth to 13 kg (28 lb)(size category: E)

Installed "rearward facing" using an ISOFIX base which is attached to rings A.The base has a support leg, height-adjustable, which rests on the vehicle's floor.This child seat can also be secured with a seat belt. In this case, only the shell is used and attached to the vehicle seat using the three-point seat belt.
Group 1: from 9 to 18 kg (from 20 to 39 lb)(size category: B1)

Suitable for forward-facing installation only.Attached to rings A and ring B, referred to as TOP TETHER, using an upper strap.Three seat body angles: sitting, reclining, lying down.This child seat can also be used in seat positions not equipped with ISOFIX mountings.

► Check that the depth of the water does not exceed 15 cm, taking account of waves that might be generated by other users.► Deactivate the Stop & Start function.► Drive as slowly as possible without stalling. In all cases, do not exceed 6 mph (10 km/h).► Do not stop and do not switch off the motor.On leaving the flooded road, as soon as safety conditions allow, make several light brake applications to dry the brake discs and pads.If in doubt about the state of your vehicle, contact any authorized Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or any reliable repairer.
Noise (Electric)
On the outside
Due to the vehicle’s quiet operation when driving, the driver must pay particular attention.When manoeuvring, the driver must always check the vehicle's immediate surroundings.At speeds of up to 19 mph (30 km/h), the pedestrian horn warns other road users of the
vehicle’s presence.
NOTIC E
Cooling the traction batteryThe cooling fan comes on during charging to cool the on-board charger and the traction battery.
On the inside
During use, you may hear certain perfectly normal noises specific to electric vehicles, such as:– Traction battery relay when starting.– Vacuum pump when braking.– Vehicle tyres or aerodynamics when driving.– Jolting and knocking noise during hill starts.
In case of towing
WARNI NG
Driving with a trailer places greater demands on the towing vehicle and requires extra care from the driver.
NOTIC E
Respect the maximum towable weights.At altitude: reduce the maximum load by 10% per 1,000 metres (3,280 ft) of altitude; the density of the air decreases with altitude and the performance of the engine reduces.
WARNI NG
New vehicle: do not pull a trailer before having driven at least 1,000 kilometres (620 miles).
NOTIC E
If the outside temperature is high, let the engine idle for 1 to 2 minutes after the vehicle comes to a stop, to help it to cool.
Before setting off
Nose weight
► Distribute the load in the trailer so that the heaviest items are as close as possible to the axle and the nose weight (at the point where it joins your vehicle) approaches the maximum permitted without exceeding it.
Tyres
► Check the tyre pressures of the towing vehicle and of the trailer, observing the recommended pressures.
Lighting
► Check the electrical signalling on the trailer and the headlamp beam height of your vehicle.
NOTIC E
If a genuine TOYOTA towing device is used, the rear parking sensors will be deactivated automatically to avoid the audible signal.

When driving
Cooling
Towing a trailer uphill causes the coolant temperature to increase. The maximum towable load depends on the gradient and the exterior temperature. The fan’s cooling capacity does not increase with engine speed.► Reduce speed and lower the engine speed to limit the amount of heating produced.► Pay constant attention to the coolant temperatureIf this warning lamp and the STOP warning lamp come on, stop the vehicle and switch off the engine as soon as possible.
Brakes
Using the engine brake is recommended to limit the overheating of the brakes. Braking distances are increased when towing a trailer.
Side wind
Bear in mind that the vehicle will be more
susceptible to wind when towing.
Anti-theft protection
Electronic immobiliser
The remote control contains an electronic chip which has a special code. When the ignition is switched on, this code must be recognised in order for starting to be possible.A few seconds after switching off the ignition, this system locks the engine control system, therefore preventing the engine from being started in the event of a break-in.In the event of a fault, you are informed by illumination of this warning lamp, an audible signal and a message on the screen.The vehicle will not start; contact any authorized Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or any reliable repairer as soon as possible.
Starting/switching off the
engine
Starting
The parking brake must be applied.
► With a manual gearbox, place the gear lever in neutral, fully depress the clutch pedal and keep the pedal down until the engine starts.► With an automatic gearbox, place the selector in position P then depress the brake pedal.

NOTIC E
In automatic mode, the parking brake can be manually applied or released at any time using the control.
Special cases
Immobilising the vehicle with the
engine running
To immobilise the vehicle with the engine running, briefly pull the control lever.
Parking the vehicle with the brake
released
WARNI NG
In very cold conditions (ice), applying the parking brake is not recommended.To immobilise the vehicle, engage a gear or place the chocks against one of the wheels.
NOTIC E
With an automatic gearbox or drive selector, mode P is automatically selected when the ignition is switched off. The wheels are blocked.For more information on Free-wheeling, refer to the corresponding section.
NOTIC E
With an automatic gearbox or drive selector, while mode N is selected, opening the driver’s door triggers an audible signal and mode P
will be engaged. The audible signal stops when the driver's door is closed again.
Deactivating automatic
operation
In some situations, for example when it is extremely cold or when towing (e.g. caravan, breakdown), it may be necessary to deactivate automatic operation of the system.► Start the engine.► Use the control lever to apply the parking brake, if it is released.► Take your foot fully off the brake pedal.► Hold the control lever pressed in the release direction for between 10 and a maximum of 15 seconds.► Release the control lever.► Depress and hold the brake pedal.► Pull the control lever in the application direction for 2 seconds.This indicator lamp on the instrument panel comes on to confirm deactivation of
the automatic functions.► Release the control lever and the brake pedal.From now on, the parking brake can only be applied and released manually using the control lever.Repeat this procedure to reactivate automatic operation (confirmed by the indicator lamp on the instrument panel going off).

WARNI NG
Navigation mapping should be regularly updated in order to receive accurate speed limit information from the system.
WARNI NG
The units for the speed limit (km/h or mph) depend on the country you are driving in.This should be taken into account so that you observe the speed limit.For the system to work correctly when changing country, the speed unit in the instrument panel must correspond to that of the country you are driving in.
WARNI NG
The automatic reading of road signs is a driving aid system and does not always display speed limits correctly.The speed limit signs present on the road always take priority over the display by the system. The system is designed to detect signs that conform to the Vienna Convention on road signs.
NOTIC E
Specific speed limits, such as those for heavy goods vehicles, are not displayed.The display of the speed limit in the
instrument panel is updated when passing a speed limit sign intended for cars (light vehicles).
