Depending on the equipment ver-
sion and country version, the vehi-
cle has various sensors to record
the traffic situation. This enables
the intelligent auto matic Start/Stop
function to adapt to various traffic
situations and, where necessary,
behave in an anticipatory manner.
For example, in the following situa-
tions:
If a situation is detected in which
the duration of the stop is likely
to be very short, the engine is not
stopped automatically. Depend-
ing on the situation, a message
is shown on the Control Display.
If a situation is detected in which
the vehicle should drive off
immediately, the stopped engine
is started automatically.
The function may be limited if the
navigation data is invalid, outdated
or not available, for example.
The engine is not switched off auto-

During an automatic engine stop,
the engine is started.

Safety notes
WA R N I N G
If the wipers start moving when they
are folded away from the windscreen,
parts of the body may become trapped or the vehicle may be dam-
aged. There is a danger of injury or
damage to property. Make sure that the vehicle is switched off when the
wipers are folded away from the wind-
screen, and that the wipers are in contact with the windscreen when
switching on.
NOTICE
If the wipers are frozen to the wind- screen, switching them on may cause
the wiper blades to tear off and the
wiper motor to overheat. There is a danger of damage to property. Defrost
the windscreen before switching on
the wipers.

Depending on the equipment and

into account and compared with
internal vehicle data. The road sign
and associated additional instruc-

set off straight away, driving at
moderate engine speeds.
This brings the cold engine up to
operating temperature as quickly as
possible.
Anticipating the road situation and
adopting a smooth driving style will
reduce fuel consumption.
Avoid accelerating and braking
unnecessarily.
Keep an appropriate distance from
the vehicle ahead.
Driving at low engine speeds
reduces fuel consumption and
wear.
Pay attention to the shift position
indicator, see page 171, in the vehi-
cle, if fitted.
When approaching a red traffic
light, take your foot off the accelera-
tor and allow the vehicle to coast to
a stop.
On downward stretc hes, take your
foot off the accelerator and allow
the vehicle to roll.
The fuel supply is interrupted in
overrun mode.
When you stop the vehicle for
longer periods, for example at traf-
fic lights, railway crossings or in
traffic jams, switch off the engine.
The Auto Start/Stop of the vehicle
shuts off the engine automatically
during a stop.
Switching the engine off and on
again reduces fuel consumption
and emissions compared with a
permanently running engine. Sav-
ings can be made just by shutting
down the engine for a few seconds.
Functions such as seat heating or
rear window heating require a great
deal of energy and increase fuel
consumption, especially in city traf-
fic and stop-and-go traffic.
Switch these functions off if they
are not required.
Have the vehicle serviced regularly
to achieve optimal economy and
lifetime. Toyota recommends hav-
ing maintenance work carried out

Before refuelling, observe the notes
on fuel quality, see page 322.
When refuelling, insert the filler
nozzle fully into th e filler neck. Lift-
ing the filler nozzle during refuelling
results in the following:
The fuel supply being cut off pre-
maturely.
Fuel vapour and fumes being
recovered less effectively.
The fuel tank is full when the filler
nozzle cuts out for the first time.
For Korea: Make sure that the fuel
tank cap is closed properly after
refuelling, otherw ise the emissions
warning lamp may illuminate.
Please comply with the safety regu-
lations displayed at filling stations.

the fuel filler flap.

Safety notes
NOTICE
If the range drops below 50 km, 30
miles, the engine may no longer be
supplied with sufficient fuel. Engine function is no longer ensured. There
is a danger of damage to property.
Refuel in good time.
NOTICE
Fuels are poisonous and aggressive.
Overfilling the fuel tank can damage the fuel system. If fuel comes into
contact with paintwork, it can damage
them. This pollutes the environment. There is a danger of damage to prop-

General
Safety note
WA R N I N G
A tyre with too little or no tyre inflation
pressure can heat up significantly and sustain damage. Driving properties,
for example steering and braking, will
be impaired as a result. There is a danger of accidents. Check the tyre
inflation pressure regularly and adjust
as necessary, for example twice a
