WARNI NG
Never leave a vehicle unattended with the engine running. If you have to leave your vehicle with the engine running, apply the parking brake and put the gearbox into neutral or position N or P (depending on the type of gearbox).
WARNI NG
Never leave children inside the vehicle unsupervised.
On flooded roads
We strongly advise against driving on flooded roads, as this could cause serious damage to the engine or gearbox, as well as to your vehicle's electrical systems.

If the vehicle absolutely must drive through a flooded section of road:► 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.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.

NOTIC E
To preserve the brakes while descending a steep incline, use engine braking to reduce your speed (change down or select a lower gear).Keeping the brake pedal pressed continuously for long periods can overheat the brakes, with the risk of damaging the
braking system or making it inoperative.Only use the brakes when necessary, to slow or stop the vehicle.
NOTIC E
Depending on the road configuration (e.g. mountainous road), manual operation may be preferable.Automatic operation may not always be suitable, and does not enable engine braking.
Invalid value during manual
operation
This symbol is displayed if a gear is not engaged correctly (gear selector between two positions).
► Place the selector "correctly" at a position.
Switching off the vehicle
Before switching off the engine, select position P then apply the parking brake to immobilise
the vehicle, unless this is set to automatic mode (with electric parking brake).Check that mode P has been engaged and that the electric parking brake has been applied automatically; if not, apply it manually.The corresponding indicator lamps in the selector and the electric parking brake control lever must be on, as well as those on the instrument panel.
NOTIC E
A point of resistance may be noticed when moving to position P.If the selector is not in position P, when the driver's door is opened or approximately 45 seconds after the ignition is switched off, an audible signal sounds and a message appears.► Return the drive selector to position P; the audible signal stops and the message disappears.
WARNI NG
When positioned on a steep slope with a loaded vehicle, depress the brake pedal, select position P, apply the parking brake, unless it is set to automatic mode (with electric parking brake), then release the brake pedal.
WARNI NG
In all circumstances, ensure that the selector is in position P before leaving your vehicle.
Malfunction
When the ignition is on, a message appears on the instrument panel to indicate a fault with the
gearbox.In this case, the gearbox goes into back-up mode and is locked in 3rd gear. You may feel a significant jolt (without risk to the gearbox) when changing from P to R and from N to R.Do not exceed 62 mph (100 km/h), local speed restrictions permitting.Have it checked by any authorized Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or any reliable repairer.
WARNI NG
There is a risk of damaging the gearbox:– If the accelerator and brake pedals are depressed simultaneously.– In the event of a battery failure, forcing the selector from position P to another position.

166
WARNI NG
If your vehicle has an automatic gearbox, do not try to start the engine by pushing the vehicle.
Drive selector (Electric)

The drive selector is a pulse selector with a regenerative braking function.The drive selector provides traction control based on the driving style, the road profile and the vehicle load.With regenerative braking activated, it also manages engine braking when the accelerator pedal is released.
P.ParkButton for parking the vehicle: the front wheels are locked (the button lights up to indicate that it is activated).
R.ReverseTo engage reverse gear, with your foot on the brake pedal.
N.NeutralTo move the vehicle with the ignition off and so allow it to free-wheel.For more information on Free-wheeling, refer to the corresponding section.
D.Drive (automatic forward gear)
B.Brake (regenerative braking)Button for changing to Drive/automatic forward gear mode with regenerative braking function (the button lights up to indicate that it is activated).
Information displayed on
the instrument panel
When the ignition is switched on, the drive selector status is displayed on the instrument panel:P: Park.R: Reverse.N: Neutral.D: Drive (automatic forward gear).B: Brake (automatic forward gear with regenerative braking function activated).
Operation
► Move the selector by pressing it forwards (N or R) or rearwards (N or D) once or twice, passing the point of resistance if necessary.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.
Eco
Optimises energy consumption, by reducing the output of the heating and air conditioning
(without actually deactivating them) and limiting both motor torque and power.
Power
Provides equivalent vehicle performance when fully laden (GVW) to when the vehicle is in Normal mode and when unladen.

168
Stop & Start
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.
