NOTIC E
With an automatic gearbox, the system is only active in manual operation.
The information appears in the instrument panel, in the form of an ascending or descending arrow and the recommended gear.
NOTIC E
The system adapts its gear shift recommendation according to the driving conditions (slope, load, etc.) and the driver’s requirements (request for power, acceleration, braking, etc.).The system never suggests:– engaging first gear.– engaging reverse.
Automatic gearbox
Automatic 6 or 8-speed gearbox, with electronic management of gear changes. It also offers a manual mode with sequential gear changes via control paddles located behind the steering wheel.
Gear selector
WARNI NG
To turn the gear selector in complete safety, it is recommended that you keep your foot on the brake pedal.
P.Park.
R.Reverse.
N.Neutral.
D.Drive (automatic operation).
M.Manual (manual operation with sequential
changing of the gears).
NOTIC E
Position N can be used in traffic jams or in a car wash tunnel.
Steering mounted controls

► Pull the right-hand "+" or left-hand "-" control paddle towards you to change up or down.
NOTIC E
The steering mounted controls do not allow neutral to be selected and reverse gear to be engaged or disengaged.

164
The gearbox changes down automatically or holds the gear selected until the maximum engine speed is reached.When braking, the gearbox changes down automatically to provide effective engine braking.If the accelerator pedal is sharply released, the gearbox will not shift to a higher gear for safety reasons.
WARNI NG
Never select position N while the vehicle is moving.Never select positions P or R unless the vehicle is completely stationary.
Temporary manual control
of gear changes
You can temporarily assume control of gear changing using the "+" et "-” steering-mounted controls. The gear change request will be executed if the engine speed permits. This function allows you to anticipate certain situations, such as overtaking another vehicle or approaching a bend in the road. After a few seconds with no inputs via the control paddles, the gearbox reverts to automatic
operation.
Creeping (moving without
using the accelerator)
This function facilitates manoeuvring of the vehicle at low speed (when parking, in traffic jams, etc.).When the engine is at idle, with the parking brake released and gear position D, M or R selected, the vehicle begins to creep forward
as soon as you take your foot off the brake pedal (even without pressing the accelerator).
WARNI NG
As a safety precaution, never leave the vehicle with the engine running and the doors closed.
Manual operation
► With the selector in position D, press button M to enable 6- or 8-speed sequential gear changing.The indicator lamp for the button comes on.► Operate the "+" or "-" steering mounted controls. M appears and the engaged gears are shown in succession on the instrument panel.
► You can revert to automatic operation at any time by pressing button M again.The indicator lamp for the button goes off.
NOTIC E
In manual mode, there is no need to release the accelerator pedal while changing gear.
NOTIC E
It is only possible to change from one gear to another if the vehicle speed and engine speed permit.
NOTIC E
If the engine speed is too low or too high, the selected gear flashes for a few seconds, then the gear actually engaged is shown.When the vehicle is stationary or moving very slowly, the gearbox automatically selects gear M1.

Special cases:
The engine will not go into standby if all of the conditions for operation are not met and in the following cases.– Steep slope (ascending or descending).– Vehicle has not exceeded 10 km/h (6 mph) since the last engine start (with the key or the “START/STOP” button).– Needed to maintain a comfortable temperature
in the passenger compartment.– Demisting active.In these cases, this indicator lamp flashes for a few seconds, then goes off.
NOTIC E
After the engine has restarted, STOP mode is not available until the vehicle has reached a speed of 8 km/h (5 mph).
NOTIC E
During parking manoeuvres, STOP mode is not available for a few seconds after coming out of reverse gear or turning the steering wheel.
Restarting the engine (START mode)
The engine automatically restarts as soon as the driver indicates the intention of moving off again.With a manual gearbox: with the clutch pedal fully depressed.With an automatic gearbox:– With the selector in position D or M: with the brake pedal released.– With the selector in position N and the brake
pedal released: with the selector at D or M.– With the selector in position P and the brake pedal depressed: with the selector at R, N, D or M.– Reverse gear engaged.
Special cases
The engine will restart automatically if all conditions for operation are met again and in the following case.– With a manual gearbox: vehicle speed exceeds 16 mph (25 km/h) or 2 mph (3 km/h) (depending on the engine).– With an automatic gearbox, vehicle speed exceeds 2 mph (3 km/h).In this case, this indicator lamp flashes for a few seconds, then goes off.
Malfunctions
Depending on the vehicle’s equipment:In the event of a system malfunction, this warning lamp flashes on the instrument panel.
The warning lamp in this button flashes and a message appears, accompanied by an audible signal.Have it checked by any authorized Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or any reliable repairer.
The vehicle stalls in STOP mode
All of the instrument panel warning lamps come on if there is a fault.
Depending on version, a warning message may also be displayed, prompting you to place the gear selector in position N and depress the brake pedal.► Switch off the ignition then start the engine again with the key or the "START/STOP" button.
WARNI NG
12 V batteryThe Stop & Start system requires a 12 V battery of specific technology and specification.All work must be carried out only by any authorized Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or any reliable repairer.

Under-inflation detection
This system automatically checks the pressures of the tyres while driving.It compares the information given by the wheel speed sensors with reference values, which must be reinitialised every 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.
WARNI NG
Under-inflation detection does not replace the need for vigilance on the part of the driver.This system does not avoid the need to regularly check the tyre pressures (including the spare wheel) as well as before a long journey.Driving with under-inflated tyres, particularly in adverse conditions (heavy load, high speed, long journey):– worsens road-holding.– lengthens braking distances.– causes premature wear of the tyres.– increases fuel consumption.
NOTIC E
The inflation pressures defined for the vehicle can be found on the tyre pressure label.For more information on the Identification markings, refer to the corresponding section.
WARNI NG
Checking tyre pressuresThis check should be done when the tyres are "cold" (vehicle stopped for 1 hour or after a journey of less than 10 km (6 miles) at moderate speeds).Otherwise, add 0.3 bar to the pressures shown on the label.
NOTIC E
Snow chainsThe system does not have to be reinitialised after fitting or removing snow chains.
NOTIC E
Spare wheelThe steel spare wheel does not have an
under-inflation detection sensor.
Under-inflation alert
This is signalled by the fixed illumination of this warning lamp, accompanied by an audible signal and, depending on equipment, the display of a message.► Reduce speed immediately, avoid excessive steering movements and avoid sudden braking.► Stop the vehicle as soon as it is safe to do so.
WARNI NG
The loss of pressure detected may not always cause visible deformation of the tyre.Do not rely on just a visual check.
► Using a compressor, such as the one in the temporary puncture repair kit, check the pressures of all four tyres when cold.► If it is not possible to carry out this check immediately, drive carefully at reduced speed.► In the event of a puncture, use the temporary puncture repair kit or the spare wheel (depending on equipment).
WARNI NG
Driving too slowly may not ensure optimum monitoring.The alert is not immediately triggered in the event of a sudden loss of pressure or tyre blow-out. This is because analysis of the

171

values read by the wheel's speed sensors can take several minutes.The alert may be delayed at speeds below 25 mph (40 km/h), or when adopting a sporty driving mode.
NOTIC E
The alert is kept active until the system is reinitialised.
Reinitialisation
Reinitialise the system after adjusting one or more tyre pressures and after changing one or more wheels.
WARNI NG
Before reinitialising the system, make sure that the pressures of the four tyres are correct for the conditions of use of the vehicle and conform to the values written on the tyre pressure label.Check the pressures of the four tyres before performing the reinitialisation.The system does not advise if a pressure is incorrect at the time of reinitialisation.
With button


► With the vehicle stationary, press this button for 3 to 10 seconds then release it. Reinitialisation is confirmed by anaudible signal.
With audio system or touch screen
With the vehicle stationary, the system is reinitialised via the vehicle configuration menu.
Malfunction
In the event of a malfunction, these warning lamps light up on the
instrument panel.In this case, the tyre under-inflation monitoring function is no longer performed.Have it checked by any authorized Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or any reliable repairer.
Driving and manoeuvring
aids - General
recommendations
NOTIC E
Driving and manoeuvring aids cannot, in any circumstances, replace the need for vigilance
on the part of the driver.The driver must comply with the Highway Code, must remain in control of the vehicle in all circumstances and must be able to retake control of it at all times. The driver must adapt the speed to climactic conditions, traffic and the state of the road.It is the driver's responsibility to constantly check the traffic, to assess the relative distances and speeds of other vehicles and to anticipate their movements before indicating and changing lane.The systems cannot exceed the limits of the laws of physics.
NOTIC E
Driving aids
You should hold the steering wheel with both hands, always use the interior and exterior rear view mirrors, always keep the feet close to the pedals and take a break every two hours.

176
Speed display

The system is active but is not detecting speed limit information.

On detection of speed limit information, the system displays the value.

The driver can, if desired, adjust the speed of the vehicle according to the information given by the system.
Operating limits
The system does not take account of reduced speed limits, especially those imposed in the following cases:– Poor weather (rain, snow).– Atmospheric pollution.– Towing.– Driving with a space-saver type spare wheel or snow chains fitted.
– Tyre repaired using the temporary puncture repair kit.– Young drivers.The system may not display the speed limit if it does not detect a speed limit sign within a preset period and in the following situations:– Road signs that are obstructed, non-standard, damaged or bent.– Obsolete or incorrect maps.
Storing the speed setting

In addition to Speed Limit Recognition and Recommendation, the driver can select the speed displayed as a speed setting for the speed limiter or cruise control using the speed limiter or cruise control 'store' button.

WARNI NG
It is possible that warnings are not given, are given too late or seem unjustified.The driver must always stay in control of the vehicle and be prepared to react at any time to avoid an accident.
WARNI NG
Following an impact, the system is automatically deactivated.Have it checked by any authorized Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or any reliable repairer.
Collision Risk Alert
This function warns the driver that their vehicle is at risk of a collision with the vehicle in front, or with a pedestrian or cyclist present in their traffic lane.
Modifying the alert trigger threshold
This trigger threshold determines the sensitivity with which the function warns of the risk of collision.The threshold is set via the vehicle
configuration menu with the audio system or touch screen.► Select one of the three pre-defined thresholds: "Far", "Normal" or "Close".
The last threshold selected is memorised when the ignition is switched off.
Operation
Depending on the degree of risk of collision detected by the system and the alert trigger threshold chosen by the driver, several different levels of alert may be triggered and displayed on the instrument panel.
The system takes account of the vehicle dynamics, the speed of your vehicle and the one in front, the environmental conditions and the operation of the vehicle (actions on the pedals, steering wheel, etc.) to trigger the alert at the most relevant moment.Level 1 (orange): visual alert only, warning that the vehicle in front is very close.The message "Vehicle close" is displayed.Level 2 (red): visual and audible alert, warning that a collision is imminent.The message "Brake!" is displayed.
NOTIC E
Where the speed of your vehicle is too high approaching another vehicle, the first level of alert may not be displayed: the level 2 alert may be displayed directly.
Important: the level 1 alert is not displayed when there is a stationary obstacle or when the "Near" trigger threshold has been selected.
Intelligent emergency
braking assistance (iEBA)
If the driver brakes, but not sufficiently to avoid a collision, this system will provide additional braking, within the limits of the laws of physics.This assistance will only be provided if the driver presses the brake pedal.
Active Safety Brake

This function, also called automatic emergency braking, intervenes following the alerts if the driver does not react quickly enough and does not operate the vehicle's brakes.It aims to reduce the speed of impact or avoid a collision where the driver fails to react.
