Audible assistance

The function signals the presence of obstacles
present within the sensors’ detection zone.The proximity information is given by an intermittent audible signal, the frequency of which increases as the vehicle approaches the obstacle.When the distance between the vehicle and the obstacle becomes less than about thirty centimetres, the audible signal becomes continuous.The sound emitted by the speaker (right or left) allows you to identify the side on which the obstacle is located.
Visual assistance


This supplements the audible signal by displaying bars on the screen that move
progressively nearer to the vehicle (green: more distant obstacles; yellow: close obstacles; red: very close obstacles).When the obstacle is very close, the "Danger" symbol is displayed on the screen.
Front parking sensors
In addition to the rear parking sensors, the front parking sensors are triggered when an obstacle is detected in front and the speed of the vehicle is still below 10 km/h (6 mph).The front parking sensors are interrupted if the vehicle stops for more than three seconds in forward gear, if an obstacle is no longer detected or when the speed of the vehicle exceeds 10 km/h (6 mph).
NOTIC E
The sound emitted by the speaker (front or rear) locates the obstacle relative to the vehicle, in front or behind it.

The screen is divided into two parts with a contextual view and a view from above the vehicle in its close surroundings.The parking sensors supplement the information on the view from above the vehicle.Various contextual views may be displayed:– Standard view.– 180° view.– Zoom view.AUTO mode is activated by default.In this mode, the system chooses to display the best view (standard or zoom).You can change the type of view at any time during a manoeuvre.The state of the function is not saved when the ignition is switched off.
Principle of operation

Using the rear camera, the vehicle's close surroundings are recorded during manoeuvres at low speed.An image from above your vehicle in its close surroundings is reconstructed (represented between the brackets) in real time and as the manoeuvre progresses.It facilitates the alignment of your vehicle when parking and allows obstacles close to the vehicle to be seen. It is automatically deleted if the vehicle remains stationary for too long.
Activation
Activation is automatic on engaging reverse gear at a speed lower than 6 mph (10 km/h).

You can choose the display mode at any time by pressing this area.When the sub-menu is displayed, select one of the four views:"Standard view".
"180° view".
"Zoom view".
"AUTO mode".

Zoom view

The camera records the vehicle's surroundings during the manoeuvre in order to create a view from above the rear of the vehicle in its near surroundings, allowing the vehicle to be manoeuvred around obstacles nearby.This view is available with AUTO mode or in the view selection menu.
NOTIC E
Obstacles may appear further away than they actually are in reality.It is important to check the sides of the vehicle during the manoeuvre, using the mirrors.The rear parking sensors also provide information on the vehicle's surroundings.
180° view

The 180° view facilitates reversing out of a parking bay, making it possible to see the approach of vehicles, pedestrians and cyclists.This view is not recommended for carrying out a
complete manoeuvre.It consists of 3 areas: left A, centre B and right C.This view is available only from the view selection menu.
Quick start mode

This mode displays, as quickly as possible, the contextual view (left-hand part) and the overhead view of the vehicle.A message is displayed advising you to check your vehicle's surroundings before starting the manoeuvre.

Installation tips
► If you have to fit the chains during a journey, stop the vehicle on a flat surface on the side of the road.► Apply the parking brake and position any wheel chocks under the wheels to prevent movement of your vehicle.► Fit the chains following the instructions provided by the manufacturer.
► Move off gently and drive for a few moments, without exceeding 50 km/h (31 mph).► Stop your vehicle and check that the snow chains are correctly tightened.
NOTIC E
It is strongly recommended that before you leave, you practise fitting the snow chains on a level and dry surface.
WARNI NG
Avoid driving with snow chains on roads that have been cleared of snow to avoid damaging your vehicle's tyres and the road surface. If your vehicle is fitted with alloy wheels, check that no part of the chain or its fixings is in contact with the wheel rim.
Towing device
Load distribution► Distribute the load in the trailer so that the heaviest items are as close as possible to the axle and the nose weight approaches the maximum permitted without exceeding it.Air density decreases with altitude, thus reducing engine performance. The maximum towed load
must be reduced by 10 % for every 1,000 metres (3,280 ft) of altitude.
NOTIC E
Use towing devices and their unmodified harnesses approved by TOYOTA. It is recommended that the installation be performed by any authorized Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or any reliable repairer.If the towing device is not fitted by any authorized Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or any reliable repairer, it must still be fitted in accordance with the vehicle manufacturer's instructions.Certain driving assistance or manoeuvring assistance functions are automatically disabled if an approved towbar is used.
WARNI NG
Observe the maximum authorised towable weight, indicated on your vehicle's registration certificate, the manufacturer's label as well as in the Technical data section of this guide.Complying with the maximum authorised nose weight (towball) also includes the use of accessories (bicycle carriers, tow
boxes, etc.).
WARNI NG
Observe the legislation in force in the country in which you are driving.
NOTIC E
Electric motorAn electric vehicle may be fitted with a towing device.It is therefore possible to tow a trailer or caravan.Contact any authorized Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or any reliable repairer for more information and to obtain a suitable towing device.

NOTIC E
For more information on the Electric parking brake, refer to the corresponding section.
Brake pads
Brake wear depends on the style of driving, particularly in the case of vehicles used in town, over short distances. It may be necessary to have the condition of the brakes checked, even between vehicle services.Unless there is a leak in the circuit, a drop in the brake fluid level indicates that the brake pads are worn.
NOTIC E
After washing the vehicle, moisture, or in wintry conditions, ice can form on the brake discs and pads: braking efficiency may be reduced. Gently dab the brakes to dry and defrost them.
Brake disc/drum wear
For any information on checking brake disc/drum wear, contact any authorized Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or any reliable repairer.
Wheels and tyres
The inflation pressure of all tyres, including the spare wheel, must be checked on "cold” tyres.The pressures indicated on the tyre pressure label are valid for "cold" tyres. If you have driven for more than 10 minutes or more than 10 km (6 miles) at over 50 km/h (31 mph), add 0.3 bar (30 kPa) to the values indicated on the label.
WARNI NG
Under-inflation increases fuel consumption. Non-compliant tyre pressure causes premature wear on tyres and has an adverse effect on the vehicle's road holding - risk of an accident!
Driving with worn or damaged tyres reduces the braking and road holding performance of the vehicle. It is recommended to regularly check the condition of the tyres (tread and sidewalls) and wheel rims as well as the presence of the valves.When the wear indicators no longer appear set back from the tread, the depth of the grooves is less than 1.6 mm; it is imperative to replace the tyres.Using different size wheels and tyres from those specified can affect the lifetime of tyres, wheel
rotation, ground clearance, the speedometer reading and have an adverse effect on road holding.
