Always switch off the programmable heating while refuelling to avoid any risk of fire or explosion.To avoid the risk of intoxication and asphyxiation, the programmable heating must not be used, even for short periods, in an enclosed area such as a garage or workshop not equipped with exhaust gas extraction.Do not park the vehicle on an inflammable sur face (dry grass, dead leaves, paper…), there is a risk of fire.Glazed sur faces such as the rear screen or windscreen can become very hot in places.Take care not to place objects in contact with these sur faces, nor touch them with your hands or any other part of your body.
The heating is activated provided that:- the battery is sufficiently charged,- the fuel level is adequate,- the engine has been started since the previous heating cycle.
The programmable heating system is supplied by the vehicle's fuel tank.Before use, ensure that there is enough fuel in the tank.If the tank is on reserve, it is recommended that the system is not used.
The ventilation is activated provided that the battery is sufficiently charged.

This mode, when moving off, allows considerable spin on the wheel with the least grip to optimise clearing of the mud and regain grip. At the same time, the wheel with the most grip is controlled in such a way as to transmit
as much torque as possible.When moving, the system optimises wheel spin to respond to the driver's requirements as fully as possible.(mode active up to 50 mph (80 km/h))
F Place the knob in this position.
This mode allows little spin on the two driving wheels at the same time to allow the vehicle to move for ward and limit the risks of getting stuck in the sand.(mode active up to 75 mph (120 km/h))
F Place the knob in this position.
Do not use the other modes on sand as the vehicle may become stuck.
You can deactivate certain functions of the ESC (ASR and DSC) by turning the knob to the "OFF" position.These functions are reactivated automatically from 30 mph (50 km/h) or every time the ignition is switched back on.
All terrain (mud, damp grass, ...)Sand
Driving advice
Your vehicle is designed principally to drive on tarmac roads but it allows you to drive on other less passable terrain occasionally.However, it does not permit off-road driving such as:- crossing and driving on terrain which could damage the underbody or strip away components (fuel pipe, fuel cooler...) due to obstacles or stones in particular,- driving on terrain with steep gradients and poor grip,- crossing a stream.

Safety

197
To assure the durability of your vehicle and your safety, remember that certain precautions, described hereafter, should be taken when driving your vehicle:
Load the vehicle correctly
With a load carried, the vehicle must remain within the maximum authorised weight, the Gross Vehicle Weight.To avoid upsetting the balance of the vehicle, the load should be centred and the heaviest part placed on the floor in front of the rear wheels.
Manoeuve cautiously, at
low speed
The dimensions of your vehicle differ from those of a light vehicle, in width, in height, as well as in length, and some obstacles will be more difficult to notice.Manoeuvre slowly.Before turning, check that there are no obstacles at mid-height along the sides.Before reversing, check that there are no obstacles, particularly at high level behind the vehicle.Be aware of the external dimensions, if ladders are fitted.
It is inadvisable to place heavy loads on a roof rack.Loading the roof rack also requires you not to exceed the maximum load on the roof rack anchorages. Observe the maximum authorised weight, available from Toyota dealers.Loads must be securely lashed down.Cargo that is not properly secured inside the vehicle can adversely affect the handling of the vehicle and create the risk of accident.If your vehicle is fitted with a drop-side back, the height and width of the load must remain within the overall dimensions of the vehicle.
Drive the vehicle in a
prudent and efficient way
Take corners gently.Anticipate the need to brake as the stopping distance is increased, particularly on wet or icy roads.Be aware of the effect of side winds on the vehicle.Effective eco-driving saves fuel; accelerate progressively, anticipate the need to slow down and adapt your speed to suit the situation.Indicate changes of direction well in advance
so that you are seen by other road users.
Take care
The tyres must be inflated to at least the pressures indicated on the label, even over-inflated by 0.2 to 0.3 bar for long journeys.After ensuring that no obstacle might prevent closing, guide the movement of the door at the right speed until it closes.

Gear efficiency indicator
Depending on the driving situation and your vehicle's equipment, the system may advise you to skip one or more gears.You can follow this instruction without going through the intermediate gears.
- You press the accelerator pedal.
- You are in third gear.
- The system may suggest that you engage a higher gear.
The information appears in the instrument panel in the form of an arrow.On vehicles with manual gearbox, the arrow may be accompanied by the recommended g e a r.
The system adapts its gear change recommendation according to the driving conditions (gradient, load, ...) and the demands of the driver (power, acceleration, braking, ...).The system never suggests:
- engaging first gear,- engaging reverse gear.
System which reduces fuel consumption by recommending the most suitable gear.
Example:
On certain Diesel versions with manual gearbox, the system may suggest changing into neutral (N is displayed in the instrument panel) so that the engine can go into standby (STOP mode with Stop & Start), in certain driving conditions.
This function cannot be deactivated.
The gear engagement recommendations must not be considered compulsory.This is because the configuration of
the road, traffic density and safety remain impor tant factors in the choice of the best gear.The gear efficiency indicator system does not replace the need for vigilance on the part of the driver.
Driving

213
When the ignition is on, a message appears in the instrument panel screen to indicate a gearbox fault.
Operating fault
In this case, the gearbox switches to back-up mode and is locked in 3rd gear. You may feel
a substantial knock when changing from P to R and from N to R. This will not cause any damage to the gearbox.Do not exceed 60 mph (100 km/h), local speed restrictions permitting.Have it checked by an authorized Toyota dealer or repairer, or another duly qualified and equipped professional.
You risk damaging the gearbox:- if you press the accelerator and brake pedals at the same time (braking or acceleration must be done only with the right foot),- if you force the selector from position P to another position when the battery is flat.
To reduce fuel consumption when stationary for long periods with the engine running (traffic jam...), position the selector at N and apply the parking brake.
Stopping the vehicle
A stiff point may be noticed when moving to position P.If the selector is not in position P, when the driver's door is opened or
approximately 45 seconds after the ignition is switched off, there is an audible signal and a message appears.F Return the selector to position P; the audible signal stops and the message disappears.
Before switching off the engine, select position P then apply the parking brake to immobilise the vehicle.
In all circumstances, ensure that the selector is in position P before leaving your vehicle.
On a steep slope with a loaded vehicle, press the brake pedal, select position P, apply the parking brake then release the brake pedal.

Stop & StartGoing into engine
STOP mode
If your vehicle has a manual gearbox, its speed must be below 12 mph (20 km/h) or stationary (depending on engine); the "ECO" indicator lamp comes on in the instrument panel and the engine goes into standby automatically when you place the gear lever in
neutral and you release the clutch pedal.
For your comfort, during parking manoeuvres, STOP mode is not available for a few seconds after coming out of reverse gear.Stop & Start does not affect the functionality of the vehicle, such as for example, braking, power steering...A slight delay between the vehicle stopping and the engine cutting out may be noticed.
If your vehicle is fitted with Stop & Start, a time counter calculates the time spent in
STOP mode during a journey.It resets to zero every time the ignition is switched on.
Stop & Start time counter
The Stop & Start system puts the engine temporarily into standby - STOP mode - during stops in the traffic (red lights, traffic jams, or other...). The engine restarts automatically - START mode - as soon as you want to move off. The restart takes place instantly, quickly and silently.Per fect for urban use, the Stop & Start system reduces fuel consumption and exhaust emissions as well as the noise level when stationary.
If your vehicle has an automatic gearbox and the vehicle is stationary, the "ECO" indicator lamp comes on and the engine goes into standby automatically when you press the brake pedal or place the gear selector in position N.
If your vehicle has an electronic gearbox and the vehicle's speed is below 5 mph (8 km/h), the "ECO" indicator lamp comes on and the engine goes into standby automatically when you press the brake pedal or place the gear selector in position N.
(minutes / seconds or hours / minutes)
Never refuel with the engine in STOP mode; you must switch off the ignition with the button.

Tyre Pressure Warning System (TPWS)
The system monitors the pressures in the four tyres, once the vehicle is moving.It compares the information given by the four wheel speed sensors with reference values, which must be reinitialised ever y time the tyre pressures are adjusted or a wheel changed.The system triggers an alert as soon as it detects a drop in the inflation pressure of one or more tyres.
The Tyre Pressure Warning System (TPWS) does not replace the need for vigilance on the part of the driver.This system does not avoid the need to check the tyre pressures (including the spare wheel) every month as well as before a long journey.Driving with under-inflated tyres impairs road holding, extends braking distances and causes premature tyre wear, particularly under arduous conditions (high loading, high speed, long journey).
System which automatically checks the pressures of the tyres while driving.
The tyre pressures defined for your vehicle can be found on the tyre pressure label.For more information on the Identification markings, refer to the corresponding section.Tyre pressures should be checked when the tyres are "cold" (vehicle stopped for 1 hour or after a journey of less than 6 miles (10 km) at moderate speeds).Other wise (when hot), add 0.3 bar to the pressures shown on the label.
Driving with under-inflated tyres
increases fuel consumption.Snow chains
The system does not have to be reinitialised after fitting or removing snow chains.
Spare wheel
The steel spare wheel does not have an tyre pressure warning sensor.

Fuel tank
Opening
If your vehicle is fitted with Stop & Start, never refuel with the engine in STOP mode; you must switch off the ignition using the key, or the START/STOP
button if your vehicle has Smart Entry & Start System.
F You must switch off the engine.F If your vehicle has Smart Entry & Start System, unlock the vehicle.F Open the filler flap.
Refuelling
Additions of fuel must be of at least 8 litres to be registered by the fuel gauge.Opening the filler cap may result in an inrush of air. This vacuum is entirely normal and results from the sealing of the fuel system.
F Remove the filler cap by unscrewing it, then place it on the carrier located on the filler flap.F Introduce the nozzle and push it in fully (pushing on the metal non-return valve A).F Fill the tank. Do not continue past the third cut-off of the nozzle, as this may cause malfunctions.F Refit the filler cap turning it to the right.F Push the filler flap to close it (your vehicle must be unlocked).
F Take care to select the pump that delivers the correct fuel type for your vehicle's engine (reminder on a label on the inside of the filler flap).
Capacity of the tank: approximately 69 litres.
F If your vehicle has a conventional key, introduce the key into the filler cap, then turn it to the left.
