Roof bars / Roof rack
WARNI NG
As a safety measure and to avoid damaging the roof, it is essential to use the roof bars and racks approved for your vehicle.Observe the instructions on fitting and use contained in the guide supplied with the roof
bars and racks.
WARNI NG
RecommendationsDistribute the load uniformly, taking care to avoid overloading one of the sides.Arrange the heaviest part of the load as close as possible to the roof.Secure the load firmly.Drive gently: the vehicle will be more susceptible to the effects of side winds and its stability may be affected.Remove the roof bars once they are no longer needed.
WARNI NG
As this value may change, please verify the maximum load quoted in the guide supplied with the roof bars.If the height exceeds 40 cm, adapt the speed of the vehicle to the profile of the road to avoid damaging the roof bars and the fixings on the vehicle.
Be sure to refer to national legislation in order to comply with the regulations for transporting objects that are longer than the vehicle.
Roof bars
A maximum of 3 roof bars (or 2 bars for the version with panoramic sunroof) can be installed - use the positions marked in colour.
With panoramic sunroof
NOTIC E
Max. authorised load weight:– over 2 roof bars: 100 kg,– distributed over 3 roof bars: 150 kg.
To install the transverse roof bars, use the fixing points provided for this purpose:► Open the fixing covers on each bar.► Put each fixing point in place and lock them to the roof one by one.► Ensure that the roof bars are correctly fitted
(by shaking them).► Close the fixing covers on each bar.The bars can be interchanged and are adaptable to each pair of fixing points.

NOTIC E
New vehicleDuring the first few particle filter regeneration operations, you may notice a "burning" smell. This is perfectly normal.
Manual gearbox
The gearbox does not require any maintenance (no oil change).
Automatic gearbox
The gearbox does not require any maintenance (no oil change).
Drive selector (Electric)
The drive selector does not require any maintenance.
Manual parking brake
If you notice excessive brake lever travel or decreased effectiveness, the parking brake must be adjusted, even between two services.This system must be checked by any authorized Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or any reliable repairer.
Electric parking brake
This system does not require any routine servicing. However, in the event of a
problem, do not hesitate to have the system checked by a TOYOTA dealer or a qualified workshop.
NOTIC E
For more information on the Electric parking brake, refer to the corresponding section.
Brake pads
Brake wear depends on the style of driving, particularly in the case of vehicles used in town, over short distances. It may be necessary to have the condition of the brakes checked, even between vehicle services.Unless there is a leak in the circuit, a drop in the brake fluid level indicates that the brake pads are worn.
NOTIC E
After washing the vehicle, moisture, or in wintry conditions, ice can form on the brake discs and pads: braking efficiency may be reduced. Gently dab the brakes to dry and defrost them.
Brake disc/drum wear
For any information on checking brake disc/drum wear, contact any authorized Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or any reliable repairer.
Wheels and tyres
The inflation pressure of all tyres, including the spare wheel, must be checked on "cold” tyres.The pressures indicated on the tyre pressure label are valid for "cold" tyres. If you have driven for more than 10 minutes or more than 10 km (6 miles) at over 50 km/h (31 mph), add 0.3 bar (30 kPa) to the values indicated on the label.
WARNI NG
Under-inflation increases fuel consumption. Non-compliant tyre pressure causes premature wear on tyres and has an adverse effect on the vehicle's road holding - risk of an accident!
Driving with worn or damaged tyres reduces the braking and road holding performance of the vehicle. It is recommended to regularly check the condition of the tyres (tread and sidewalls) and wheel rims as well as the presence of the valves.When the wear indicators no longer appear set back from the tread, the depth of the grooves is less than 1.6 mm; it is imperative to replace the tyres.Using different size wheels and tyres from those specified can affect the lifetime of tyres, wheel
rotation, ground clearance, the speedometer reading and have an adverse effect on road holding.
Page 222 of 360

222
Fitting different tyres on the front and rear axles can cause the VSC to mistime.Always mark the direction of rotation on the tyres that will be stored when fitting winter or summer tyres. Store them in a cool, dry place and away from direct exposure to the sun's rays.Winter or 4-seasons tyres can be identified by this symbol on their sidewalls.
Shock absorbers
It is not easy for drivers to detect when shock absorbers are worn. Nevertheless, the shock absorbers have a major impact on road holding and braking performance.For your safety and driving comfort, it is important to have them regularly checked by any authorized Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or any reliable repairer.
Timing and accessory kits
The timing and accessory kits are used from the time the engine is started until it is switched off. It is normal for them to wear over time.A faulty timing or accessory kit can damage the engine, rendering it unusable. Observe the recommended replacement frequency, stated in distance travelled or time elapsed, whichever is reached first.
AdBlue® (Diesel engines)
To respect the environment and ensure compliance with the Euro 6 standard, without adversely affecting the performance or fuel consumption of its Diesel engines, TOYOTA has taken the decision to equip its vehicles with a system that associates SCR (Selective Catalytic Reduction) with a Diesel particle filter (DPF) for
the treatment of exhaust gases.
SCR system
Using a liquid called AdBlue® that contains urea, a catalytic converter turns up to 85% of the nitrogen oxides (NOx) into nitrogen and water, which are harmless to health and the environment.The AdBlue® is contained in a special tank holding about 20 litres.Its capacity allows a driving range of approximately 3,000 miles (5,000 km) (which may vary considerably depending on your driving style and the vehicle). An alert system is automatically triggered when the remaining range reaches 1,500 miles (2,400 km), i.e. once the reserve level has been reached.Several alerts are triggered successively during the remaining 1,500 miles (2,400 km) until the tank is empty and the vehicle is immobilised.If the estimated distance travelled by the vehicle between two services is greater than 3,000 miles (5,000 km), it will be necessary to top up the AdBlue.
NOTIC E
For more information on the Warning and indicator lamps and the associated alerts, or the Indicators, please refer to the corresponding sections.
WARNI NG
Once the AdBlue® tank is empty, a device required by law prevents the engine from being restarted.If the SCR system is faulty, the level of emissions from the vehicle will no longer meet the Euro 6 standard and the vehicle starts polluting the environment.In the event of a confirmed SCR system malfunction, it is essential to visit any authorized Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or any reliable repairer. After 685 miles (1,100 km), a device is automatically activated to prevent the engine from starting.In both cases, a range indicator indicates the distance that can be travelled before the vehicle is stopped.

WARNI NG
If any AdBlue® is splashed, or if there are any spillages on the bodywork, rinse immediately with cold water or wipe with a damp cloth.If the fluid has crystallised, clean it off using a sponge and hot water.
WARNI NG
Important: in the event of a top-up after a breakdown because of a lack of AdBlue, it is essential to wait around 5 minutes before switching on the ignition, without opening the driver’s door, unlocking the vehicle, inserting the key into the ignition switch, or bringing the key for the "Smart Entry & Start" system into the passenger compartment.Switch on the ignition, then wait for 10 seconds before starting the engine.
► Switch off the ignition and remove the key from the switch to switch off the engine.or► With Smart Entry & Start, press the "START/STOP" button to switch off the engine.
Accessing the AdBlue® tank
► To access the AdBlue® tank, open the front left-hand door.► Turn the blue cap a 6th of a turn anti-clockwise.► Release the cap upwards.► With a container of AdBlue®: after checking the expiry date, read the instructions on the label carefully before pouring the contents of the container into the vehicle's AdBlue tank.► With an AdBlue® pump: insert the nozzle and fill the tank until the nozzle automatically cuts out.► After filling, perform the same sequence of operations in reverse order.
WARNI NG
In order not to overfill the AdBlue® tank:– Add between 10 and 13 litres using AdBlue® containers.– Stop after the nozzle’s first automatic cut-out, if you are refilling at a service station.The system only registers AdBlue® top-ups of 5 litres or more.
WARNI NG
If the AdBlue® tank is completely empty – which is confirmed by the message "Top up AdBlue: Starting impossible" – it is essential to add at least 5 litres.
