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.

166
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.
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.

Adaptive Cruise Control
WARNI NG
Refer to the General recommendations on the use of driving and manoeuvring aids and to Cruise control - particular recommendations.
This system automatically maintains the speed of your vehicle at a value which you set (speed setting), while keeping a safe distance from the vehicle in front (target vehicle), and which has been set beforehand by the driver. The system controls the vehicle's acceleration and deceleration automatically using only engine braking (as if the driver had pressed the "-" minus button).

To do this, it uses a radar located in the front bumper.
WARNI NG
Primarily designed for driving on main roads
and motorways, this system only works with moving vehicles driving in the same direction as your vehicle.

NOTIC E
If the driver operates a direction indicator to overtake a slower vehicle, the cruise control allows the vehicle to temporarily approach the vehicle in front to assist the overtaking manoeuvre, without ever exceeding the speed setting.
WARNI NG
Some vehicles present on the road may not be properly seen or may be misinterpreted by the radar (e.g. a lorry), which may lead to a poor assessment of distance and lead to the vehicle accelerating or braking inappropriately.
