Auxiliary socket
It permits the connection of a portable device so that you can listen to your music files via the vehicle's speakers.The management of the files is done using your portable device.
For more information on the use of this equipment, refer to the Audio and telematics section.
Lashing rings
Loading area
fittings
Use the lashing rings on the rear floor to secure your loads.As a safety precaution in case of sharp braking, you are advised to place heavy objects as far for wards towards the cab as possible.You are advised to immobilise the load by
securing it firmly using the lashing rings on the f l o o r.
Depending on the vehicle's equipment, the various fittings below are located in the loading area.
USB port
It allows the connection of a portable device, such as a digital audio player of the iPod® type or a USB memory stick.It reads the audio files which are transmitted to your audio system and played via the vehicle's speakers.You can manage these files using the steering mounted controls or the audio system.
When a USB port is used, the portable
device charges automatically.While charging, a message is displayed if the current consumption of the portable device exceeds the power rating of the port.For more information on using this equipment, refer to the Audio and telematics section.

The system is activated or deactivated in the vehicle configuration menu.The system is activated by default.
ProgrammingCornering lighting
With dipped or main beams, this function makes use of the beam from a front foglamp to illuminate the inside of a bend, when the vehicle speed is below 25 mph (40 km/h) (urban driving, winding road, intersections, parking manoeuvres...).
With cornering lighting
Without cornering lighting
Switching on
The system operates:- when the corresponding direction indicator is switched on,or- from a certain angle of rotation of the steering wheel.
Switching off

Electronic stability control (ESC) incorporating the following systems:- anti-lock braking system (ABS) and electronic brake force distribution (EBFD),- emergency braking assistance (EBA),- wheel anti-slip regulation (ASR) or traction control,- dynamic stability control (DSC).
Electronic stability control (ESC)
Definitions
Anti-lock braking system (ABS) and electronic brake force distribution (EBFD)
This system improves the stability and manoeuvrability of your vehicle when braking and contributes towards improved control on corners, in particular on poor or slippery road surfaces.The ABS prevents wheel lock in the event of emergency braking.The EBFD manages the braking pressure wheel by wheel.
Emergency braking assistance (EBA) / Brake assist
In an emergency, this system enables you to reach the optimum braking pressure more quickly and therefore reduce the stopping distance.It is triggered according to the speed at which the brake pedal is pressed. This is felt by a reduction in the resistance of the pedal and an increase in the effectiveness of the braking.
Anti-slip regulation (ASR) / Traction Control (TRC)
The ASR system (also known as Traction Control) optimises traction in order to limit wheel slip by acting on the brakes of the driving wheels and on the engine. It also improves the directional stability of the vehicle on acceleration.
Dynamic stability control (DSC) / Vehicle Stability Control (VSC)
If there is a difference between the path followed by the vehicle and that required by the driver, the DSC monitors each wheel and automatically acts on the brake of one or more
wheels and on the engine to return the vehicle to the required path, within the limits of the laws of physics.

Front airbagsDeployment
The airbags are deployed, except the passenger front airbag if it is deactivated, in the event of a serious front impact to all or part of the front impact zone A, in the longitudinal centreline of the vehicle on a horizontal plane and directed from the front to the rear of the vehicle.The front airbag inflates between the thorax and head of the front occupant of the vehicle and the steering wheel, driver's side, and the dashboard, passenger side to cushion their for ward movement.System which protects the driver and passenger(s) in the event of a serious front impact in order to limit the risk of injury to the head and thorax.The driver's airbag is fitted in the centre of the steering wheel; the front passenger airbag is fitted in the dashboard above the glove box.
When driving, keep the glove box closed. Otherwise there is a risk of injury in the event of an accident or sudden braking.

Sit in a normal upright position.Wear a correctly adjusted seat belt.Do not leave anything between the occupants and the airbags (a child, pet, object...), nor fix or attach anything close to the inflation trajectory of the airbags; this could cause injuries during their deployment.Never modify the original definition of your vehicle, particularly in the area directly around the airbags.After an accident or if the vehicle has been stolen or broken into, have the airbag systems checked.All work on the airbag system must be carried out by an authorized Toyota dealer or repairer, or another duly qualified and equipped professional.Even if all of the precautions mentioned are observed, a risk of injury or of minor burns to the head, chest or arms when an airbag is deployed cannot be ruled out.
Lateral airbags
Use only approved covers on the seats, compatible with the deployment the lateral airbags. For information on the range of seat covers suitable for your vehicle, you can contact an authorized Toyota dealer or repairer, or another duly qualified and equipped professional.For more information on Accessories, refer to the corresponding section.Do not fix or attach anything to the seat backs (clothing...). This could cause injury to the chest or arms if the lateral airbag is deployed.Do not sit with the upper part of the body any nearer to the door than necessary.
The bag inflates almost instantly (within a few milliseconds) then deflates within the same time discharging the hot gas via openings provided for this purpose.
Front airbags
Do not drive holding the steering wheel by its spokes or resting your hands on the centre part of the wheel.Passengers must not place their feet on the dashboard.Do not smoke as deployment of the airbags can cause burns or the risk of injury from a cigarette or pipe.Never remove or pierce the steering wheel or hit it violently.Do not fit or attach anything to the steering wheel or dashboard, this could cause injuries with deployment of the airbags.
Advice
For the airbags to be fully effective, observe the safety recommendations below:
The vehicle's front door panels include side impact sensors.A damaged door or any unauthorised or
incorrectly executed work (modification or repair) on the front doors or their interior trim could compromise the operation of these sensors - Risk of malfunction of the lateral airbags!Such work must only be done by an authorized Toyota dealer or repairer, or another duly qualified and equipped professional.
