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.

Coasting modesDepending on version or engine, with an EAT8 gearbox and the gear selector in mode D, gradually releasing the accelerator pedal fully allows free-wheeling which can save fuel.A drop in engine speed is normal (rev counter at idle, drop in engine noise).
Gear efficiency indicator
(Depending on engine.)This system helps reduce fuel consumption by recommending the most appropriate gear.
Operation
Depending on the driving situation and the vehicle's equipment, the system may advise to skip one or more gears.Gear shift recommendations should not be considered compulsory. In fact, the road layout,
the traffic density and safety remain the deciding factors when choosing the best gear. The driver therefore remains responsible for deciding whether or not to follow the indications issued by the system.This function cannot be deactivated.
NOTIC E
With an automatic gearbox, the system is only active in manual operation.
The information appears in the instrument panel, in the form of an ascending or descending arrow and the recommended gear.
NOTIC E
The system adapts its gear shift recommendation according to the driving conditions (slope, load, etc.) and the driver’s requirements (power, acceleration, braking, etc.).The system never suggests:– engaging first gear;– engaging reverse.
Stop & Start (Petrol or
Diesel)
The Stop & Start function puts the engine temporarily into standby - STOP mode - during phases when the vehicle is stopped (red lights, queues, etc.). The engine restarts automatically - START mode - as soon as the driver wishes to move off again.Primarily designed for urban use, the function is intended to reduce fuel consumption and
exhaust emissions as well as the noise level when stationary.The function does not affect the functionalities of the vehicle, in particular the braking.
WARNI NG
Opening the bonnetBefore doing anything under the bonnet, deactivate the Stop & Start system to avoid any risk of injury caused by the engine restarting automatically.
WARNI NG
Driving on flooded roadsBefore entering into a flooded area, it is strongly recommended that you deactivate the Stop & Start system.For more information on Driving recommendations, particularly on flooded roads, refer to the corresponding section.

Restarting the engine (START mode)
The engine automatically restarts as soon as the driver indicates the intention of moving off again.– With a manual gearbox: with the clutch pedal fully depressed.– With an automatic gearbox:• With the selector in position D or M: with the brake pedal released.• With the selector in position N and the brake pedal released: with the selector at D or M.• With the selector in position P and the brake pedal depressed: with the selector at R, N, D or M.
Special cases
The engine will restart automatically if all conditions for operation are met again and in the following case.– Speed of the vehicle exceeds 3 km/h (2 mph) (depending on the engine).In this case, this indicator lamp flashes for a few seconds, then goes off.
Malfunctions
Depending on the vehicle’s equipment:In the event of a system malfunction, this warning lamp flashes on the instrument panel.The warning lamp in this button flashes and a message appears, accompanied by an audible signal.Have the vehicle checked by a TOYOTA dealer or a qualified workshop.
The vehicle stalls in STOP mode
All of the instrument panel warning lamps come on if there is a fault.Depending on version, a warning message may also be displayed, prompting you to place the gear selector in position N and depress the brake pedal.► Switch off the ignition then start the engine again with the key or the "START/STOP" button.

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.

With touch screen
With the vehicle stationary, the system is reinitialised via the Driving / Vehicle touch screen menu.
Malfunction
In the event of a malfunction, these warning lamps light up on the instrument panel.In this case, the tyre under-inflation monitoring function is no longer performed.Have it checked by any authorized Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or any reliable repairer.
NOTIC E
Non-standard spare wheelThe use of this type of spare wheel may suspend tyre pressure monitoring.In this case, the malfunction warning lamp comes on and disappears once the wheel has been replaced by one of uniform size (the same as the others), the pressure readjusted and the reinitialisation carried out.
Head-up display
System which projects various information onto a smoked blade placed in the driver's field of vision to avoid the driver having to take their eyes off the road.

Driving aids cameraThis camera and its associated functions may be impaired or not work if the windscreen area in front of the camera is dirty, misty, frosty, covered with snow, damaged or masked by a sticker.In humid and cold weather, demist the windscreen regularly.Poor visibility (inadequate street lighting, heavy rain, thick fog, snowfall), dazzle (headlamps of an oncoming vehicle, low sun, reflections on a damp road, leaving a tunnel, alternating shade and light) can also impair
detection performance.In the event of a windscreen replacement, contact any authorized Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or any reliable repairer to recalibrate the camera; otherwise, the operation of the associated driving aids may be disrupted.
NOTIC E
Other camerasThe images from the camera(s) displayed on the touch screen or on the instrument panel may be distorted by the terrain.In the presence of areas in shade, or in conditions of bright sunlight or inadequate lighting, the image may be darkened and with lower contrast.Obstacles may appear further away than they actually are.
WARNI NG
SensorsThe operation of the sensors, as well as any associated functions, may be disrupted by noise pollution such as that emitted by noisy vehicles and machinery (e.g. lorries, pneumatic drills), by the accumulation of snow or dead leaves on the road or in the
event of damaged bumpers and mirrors.When reverse gear is engaged, an audible signal (long beep) indicates that the sensors may be dirty.A front or rear impact to the vehicle can upset the sensors’ settings, which is not always detected by the system: distance measurements may be distorted.

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).
