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.
In all cases, pay attention to the coolant temperature.If this warning lamp and the STOP warning lamp come on, stop the vehicle and switch off the engine as soon as possible.
Brakes
Braking distances are increased when towing a trailer. To avoid overheating the brakes, the use
of engine braking is recommended.
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.

► Unlock the steering column by simultaneously turning the steering wheel and the key.
NOTIC E
In certain circumstances, a significant effort may be required to turn the steering wheel to move the wheels (if the wheels are against a kerb, for example).
► Turn the key to position 2, ignition on, to operate the engine preheating system.► Wait until this warning lamp goes off in the instrument panel, then operate the starter motor by turning the key to position 3 without pressing the accelerator pedal, until the engine starts. Once the engine starts, release the key so it returns to position 2.
NOTIC E
The warning lamp does not come on if the engine is already hot.In certain climatic conditions, it is advised to follow the recommendations below:– In mild conditions, do not leave the engine at idle to warm up but move off straight away and drive at moderate speed. Depending on version, if the air conditioning is activated and the exterior temperature exceeds 35°C, the engine's idle speed may increase, up to 1,300 rpm, depending on the
cooling requirements.
– In wintry conditions, the preheater warning lamp will stay on for a longer period after switching on the ignition; wait until it goes off before starting.– In very severe wintry conditions (temperature below -23°C), to ensure correct operation and durability of the mechanical components of the vehicle (engine and gearbox), leave the engine running for
4 minutes before starting the vehicle.Never leave the engine running in an enclosed area without adequate ventilation: internal combustion engines emit toxic exhaust gases, such as carbon monoxide. Danger of poisoning and death!
NOTIC E
With Petrol engine, after a cold start, preheating the catalytic converter can cause noticeable engine vibrations when stationary, with the engine running, for anything up to 2 minutes (accelerated idle speed).
WARNI NG
If the engine does not start immediately, switch off the ignition.Wait a few seconds before operating the starter motor again. If the engine does not start after several attempts, do not keep
trying: risk of damaging the starter motor and the engine.Contact any authorized Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or any reliable repairer.
With the Smart Entry & Start
► Place the remote control inside the vehicle, in the recognition zone.► Press the "START/STOP" button.
The steering column unlocks and the engine starts more or less instantly.
NOTIC E
The warning lamp does not come on if the engine is already warm. In some climatic conditions, it is advised to follow the recommendations below:– In mild conditions, do not leave the engine at idle to warm up but move off straight away and drive at moderate speed. – In wintry conditions, when the ignition is switched on, the duration of lighting of the
preheating indicator lamp is extended. Wait until it goes off before starting the engine.

– In very severe wintry conditions (temperature below -23°C), to ensure correct operation and durability of the mechanical components of the vehicle, engine and gearbox, leave the engine running for 4 minutes before moving off.Never leave the engine running in an enclosed area without adequate ventilation: internal combustion engines emit toxic
exhaust gases, such as carbon monoxide. Danger of poisoning and death!
WARNI NG
For Diesel vehicles, when the temperature is below zero, starting will only occur once the preheating warning lamp is off.If this warning lamp comes on after pressing the "START/STOP" button, press down on the brake or clutch pedal until the warning lamp goes off, without pressing the "START/STOP" button again, until the engine starts and runs.
NOTIC E
The presence of the “Smart Entry & Start” system remote control is imperative in the recognition zone.Never leave the vehicle with the engine running and with the remote control on your
person.
If the remote control leaves the recognition zone, a message is displayed.Move the remote control into the zone in order to be able to start the engine.
NOTIC E
If one of the starting conditions is not met, a message is displayed in the instrument panel. In some circumstances, it is necessary to turn the steering wheel while pressing the "START/STOP" button to assist unlocking of the steering column. A message is displayed.
Switching off
With the conventional key/With the
remote control key
► Immobilise the vehicle.► Turn the key all the way to position 1 (Stop) and remove it from the ignition.► To lock the steering column, turn the steering wheel until it locks.
NOTIC E
To facilitate unlocking of the steering column, it is recommended that the wheels be returned to the straight ahead position before switching off the engine.
► Check that the parking brake is correctly applied, particularly on sloping ground.
WARNI NG
Never switch off the ignition before the complete immobilisation of the vehicle. With the engine off, the braking and steering assistance systems are also turned off: risk of loss of control of the vehicle.
NOTIC E
As a safety measure, never leave the vehicle without taking the remote control with you, even for a short time.
NOTIC E
Avoid attaching heavy objects to the key or the remote control, which would weigh down on its blade in the ignition switch and could cause a malfunction.

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.
