When towing
Distribution of loads
F 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 per formance. Above 1 000 metres, the maximum towed load must be reduced by 10 % for every 1 000 metres of altitude.
Side wind
F Take into account the increased sensitivity to side wind.
Cooling
Towing a trailer on a slope increases the temperature of the coolant.As the fan is electrically controlled, its cooling capacity is not dependent on the engine speed.F To lower the engine speed, reduce your speed.The maximum towed load on a long incline depends on the gradient and the ambient temperature.In all cases, keep a check on the coolant temperature.
F If the warning lamp and the STOP warning lamp come on, stop the vehicle and switch off the engine as soon as possible.
Braking
Towing a trailer increases the braking distance.To avoid overheating of the brakes, the use of engine braking is recommended.
Ty r e s
F Check the tyre pressures of the towing vehicle and of the trailer, observing the recommended pressures.
Lighting
F Check the electrical lighting and signalling on the trailer and the headlamp beam height of your vehicle.
For more information on Weights, refer to the corresponding section.
The rear parking sensors will be deactivated automatically to avoid the audible signal if a genuine Toyota towbar is used.
If the ambient temperature is high, it is recommended that the engine be allowed to idle for 1 to 2 minutes after the vehicle comes to a stop, to facilitate its cooling.
For more information on Adjusting the headlamp beam height, refer to the corresponding section.

F Turn the key to position 2, ignition on, to operate the engine pre-heating.
F Wait until this warning lamp goes off in the instrument panel then operate the starter motor by turning the key to position 3 until the engine starts, without pressing the accelerator. Once the engine starts, release the key.
The warning lamp does not come on if the engine is already warm. Depending on the climatic conditions, it is recommended that you proceed as follows:- In temperate conditions, do not run the engine with the vehicle stationary to warm it up, but rather move off straight away and drive at
moderate engine speeds.- In wintry conditions, the pre-heater warning lamp will stay on for a longer period after switching on the ignition; wait until it goes off before starting.- In ver y severe wintr y conditions (temperature below -23°C), to ensure the correct operation and durability of the mechanical components of your vehicle (engine and gearbox), leave the engine running for 4 minutes before moving off.Never leave the engine running in an enclosed area without adequate ventilation: internal combustion engines emit toxic exhaust gases, such as carbon monoxide. Danger of intoxication and death.
If the engine does not start straight away, switch off the ignition.Wait a few moments before trying again. If the engine does not start after a few attempts, do not keep trying: you risk damaging the starter motor and the engine.Call on an authorized Toyota dealer or repairer, or another duly qualified and
equipped professional.

Forward collision warning and Autonomous
emergency braking system with Pedestrian
Detection
Conditions for operation
The Autonomous emergency braking system operates:- between 3 and 87 mph (5 and 140 km/h), in the case of a moving vehicle,- at a speed below 50 mph (80 km/h), in the case of a stationary vehicle,- at a speed below 36 mph (60 km/h), in the case of a pedestrian,- if the passenger seat belts are fastened,- if the vehicle is not accelerating sharply,- if the vehicle is not in a tight corner.v
The Forward collision warning system allows the driver to be warned that their vehicle is at risk of collision with the vehicle in front or a pedestrian in their traffic lane.The Autonomous emergency braking system inter venes following the aler t if the driver does not react quickly enough and does not operate the vehicle's brakes.If the driver fails to act, it contributes towards avoiding a collision or limiting its severity by reducing the speed of your vehicle.
These systems use a radar located in the front bumper and a camera at the top of the windscreen.
These system are designed to improve road safety.It is the driver's responsibility to continuously monitor the state of the traffic, observing the driving regulations.These systems do not replace the need for vigilance on the part of the driver.
The Forward collision warning system only operates:- with a registered vehicle pointing in the same direction as the traffic, moving or stationary,- with pedestrians.- from 4 mph (7 km/h) (and is deactivated at 3 mph (5 km/h)).
