effect on the brakes in their
response - generally this cannot
be corrected.
When using the automatic cli-
mate control, condensation
water develops and collects
underneath the vehicle.
Higher mechanical and thermal
loads during racetrack operation
lead to increased wear. This
wear is not covered by the war-
ranty. The vehicle is not
designed for use in motor sports
competition.
Have vehicle checked by your
Toyota dealer before and after
driving on a racetrack. This chapter describes all stan-
dard, country-specific and
optional features offered with
the series. It also describes fea-
tures and functions that are not
necessarily available in your
vehicle, e.g., due to the selected
options or country versions. This
also applies to safety-related
functions and systems. When
using these functions and sys-
tems, the applicable laws and
regulations must be observed.
The vehicle contains advanced
technologies for the reduction of
consumption and emission val-
ues.
Fuel consumption depends on a
number of different factors.
Carrying out certain measures,
such as a moderate driving style
and regular maintenance, can
influence fuel consumption and
the environmental impact.

Additional weight increases fuel
consumption.
Attached parts on the vehicle
impair the aerodynamics and
increase the fuel consumption.
Open windows increase air
resistance and therefore lead to
greater fuel consumption.
Tires can affect consumption in
various ways, for instance tire
size may influence consump-
tion.
Check and, if needed, correct
the tire inflation pressure at least
twice a month and before start-
ing on a long trip.
Low tire inflation pressure
increases rolling resistance and
thus raises fuel consumption
and tire wear.Do not wait for the engine to
warm-up while the vehicle
remains stationary. Start driving
right away, but at moderate
engine speeds.
This is the quickest way of
warming the cold engine up to
operating temperature.
Driving smoothly and proactively
reduces fuel consumption.
Avoid unnecessary acceleration
and braking.
By maintaining a suitable dis-
tance to the vehicle driving
ahead of you.
Driving at low engine speeds
lowers fuel consumption and
reduces wear.
If necessary, observe the vehi-
cle's gear shift indicator, refer to
page 140.
When approaching a red light,
take your foot off the accelerator
and let the vehicle coast to a
halt.
For going downhill take your foot

vehicle roll.
The flow of fuel is interrupted
while coasting.
Switch off the engine during lon-
ger stops, for instance at traffic
lights, railroad crossings or in
traffic congestion.
The Auto Start/Stop function of
the vehicle automatically
switches off the engine during a
stop.
If the engine is switched off and
then restarted rather than leav-
ing the engine running con-
stantly, fuel consumption and
emissions are reduced. Sav-
ings can begin within a few sec-
onds of switching off the engine.
In addition, fuel consumption is
also determined by other fac-
tors, such as driving style, road
conditions, maintenance or envi-
ronmental factors.
Functions such as seat heating
and the rear window defroster require a lot of energy and
increase fuel consumption,
especially in city and
stop-and-go traffic.
Switch off these functions if they
are not needed.
Have the vehicle maintained
regularly to achieve optimal
vehicle efficiency and service
life. Toyota recommends that
maintenance work be performed
by Toyota.

nance System, refer to page

Follow the fuel recommenda-
tion, refer to page 287, prior to
refueling.
When refueling, insert the filler
nozzle completely into the filler
pipe. Lifting up the fuel pump
nozzle during refueling causes:
Premature switching off.
 Reduced return of the fuel
vapors.
The fuel tank is full when the
filler nozzle clicks off the first
time.
Make sure that the fuel cap is closed properly after refueling,
otherwise the emissions warn-
ing light may light up.
Follow safety regulations posted
at the gas station.

Safety information
NOTICE
With a driving range of less than
30 miles/50 km the engine may
no longer have sufficient fuel.
Engine functions are not ensured
anymore. There is a risk of dam-
age to property. Refuel promptly.
NOTICE
Fuels are toxic and aggressive.
Overfilling of the fuel tank can
damage the fuel system. Painted
surfaces may be damaged by
contact with fuel. Escaping fuel
can harm the environment. There
is a risk of damage to property.
Avoid overfilling.

bracket attached to the fuel
filler flap.
1 Fit the cap and turn it clock-
wise until you clearly hear a
click.
2 Close the fuel filler flap. It may be necessary in certain
situations to unlock the fuel filler
flap manually, e.g. with an elec-
trical fault.
Have fuel filler flap unlocked by
your Toyota dealer.

The retaining strap of the fuel cap
can be jammed and crushed
during closing. The cap cannot be
correctly closed. Fuel or fuel
vapors can escape. There is a
risk of injury or r isk of damage to
property. Pay attention that the
retaining strap is not jammed or
crushed when closing the cap.

The tire characteristics and tire
inflation pressure influence the
following:
• The service life of the tires.
• Road safety.
• Driving comfort.
• Fuel consumption.The tire inflation pressure table,
refer to page 260, contains all
tire inflation pressure specifica-
tions for the specified tire sizes
at the ambient temperature. The
tire inflation pressure values
apply to tire sizes approved by
the manufacturer of the vehicle
for the vehicle type.
To identify the correct tire infla-
tion pressure, please note the
following:
If the tire's speed code cannot
be found, then the tire inflation
pressure for the corresponding
tire size applies.
• Tire sizes of your vehicle.
• Maximum permitted driving
speed.

General information
Safety information
WA R N I N G
A tire with too little or no tire infla-
tion pressure may heat up signifi-
cantly and sustain damage. This
will have a negative impact on
aspects of handling, such as
steering and braking response.
There is a risk of an accident.
Regularly check the tire inflation
pressure, and correct it as
needed, for instance twice a
month and before a long trip.

The current tire inflation pres-
sure values and the intended
tire inflation pressure values for
the mounted tires can be dis-
played on the Control Display.
To ensure that they are dis-
played correctly, the tire sizes
must be stored in the system
and must have been set, refer to
page 274, for the mounted tires.
The current tire inflation pres-
sure value is located on each
tire.
The intended tire inflation pres-
sure value is located in the
lower area of the Control Dis-
play.
Tires heat up while driving. The
tire inflation pressure increases
with the tire temperature.
Tires have a natural, consistent
loss of tire inflation pressure.
The displays of inflation devices
may under-read by up to 0.1
bar/2 psi. The tire inflation pressure speci-
fications in the tire inflation pres-
sure table only relate to cold
tires or tires at the same tem-
perature as the ambient tem-
perature.
Only check the tire inflation
pressure levels when the tires
are cold, i.e.:
• Driving range of max. 1.25
miles/2 km has not been
exceeded.
• If the vehicle has not moved again for at least 2 hours after
a trip.
Check the tire inflation pressure
of the emergency wheel in the
cargo area regularly, and correct
it as needed.
1 Determine, refer to page 258,
the intended tire inflation
pressure levels for the
mounted tires.
2 Check the tire inflation pres-
sure in all four tires, using a
pressure gauge, for example.
3 Correct the tire inflation pres-
sure if the current tire infla-
tion pressure value deviates
from the specified value.
4 Check whether all valve caps
are screwed onto the tire
valves.

from the intended value.
With tires that cannot be found
in the tire pressure values on
the Control Display, reset the
Tire Pressure Monitor TPM. For speeds of up to 100
mph/160 km/h and for optimum
driving comfort, note the pres-
sure values in the tire inflation
pressure table, refer to page
260, and adjust as necessary.
These pressure values can also
be found on the tire inflation
pressure label on the driver's
door pillar.
Do not exceed a speed of 100
mph/160 km/h.
