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/R, press button B to activate/deactivate the function (the button lights up when the function is activated).D/R on the instrument panel is replaced with B.The system status is not 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
Driving modes are selected using the following control:
1. Pressing the control activates Eco mode. The indicator lamp comes on. (Petrol or Diesel)2. Pressing the control displays the modes on the instrument panel.With an electric motor, when starting the vehicle, no mode can be selected until the READY indicator lamp is displayed.When the message disappears, the selected mode is activated and remains indicated on the instrument panel (except Normal mode).Whenever the ignition is switched on, Normal driving mode is selected by default.
Normal
To restore the default settings.
Eco
To reduce energy consumption by reducing the performance of the heating and air conditioning, without deactivating them.To reduce consumption of the traction battery's electrical energy by limiting engine torque.
Power (Electric)
Allows a fully laden vehicle (GVW) to obtain equivalent performance to that of an unladen vehicle in Normal mode.
NOTIC E
All modes are displayed on the instrument panel, except for Normal mode.

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 alerts the driver if one or more tyres suffer a drop in pressure.The alert is raised when the vehicle is moving, not when stationary.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.It takes into account the last values stored during the reinitialisation request. It is therefore essential that the tyre pressure is correct during the operation. This operation is the driver's responsibility.
WARNI NG
The tyre under-inflation detection cannot, in any circumstances, 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), especially 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 energy consumption.
