Horn

► Press the central part of the steering wheel.
Pedestrian horn (Electric)
This system alerts pedestrians that the vehicle is approaching.The pedestrian horn operates once the vehicle is moving and at speeds of up to 19 mph (30 km/h), in forward or reverse gear.This function cannot be deactivated.
Malfunction
In the event of a malfunction, this warning lamp comes on on the instrument panel.
Have it checked by any authorized Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or any reliable repairer.
Vehicle stability control
(VSC)
The electronic stability control programme includes the following systems:
– Anti-lock braking system (ABS) and Electronic brake force distribution (EBFD).– Emergency braking assistance (EBA).– Anti-slip regulation (ASR).– Dynamic stability control (DSC).– Intelligent traction control.– Trailer stability assist (TSA).
Anti-lock braking system
(ABS)/Electronic brake force
distribution (EBFD)
These systems enhance the vehicle’s stability and handling during braking, and enable greater control while cornering, particularly on poor or slippery road surfaces.ABS prevents wheel locking in the event of emergency braking.Electronic brake force distribution (EBFD) manages overall braking pressure on each individual wheel.► When braking in an emergency, depress the pedal very firmly and maintain this pressure.

After an impactHave it checked by any authorized Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or any reliable repairer.
Emergency braking
assistance (EBA)
In an emergency, this system enables you to reach the optimum braking pressure more quickly and therefore reduce the stopping distance.It is triggered in relation 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 braking efficiency.
Anti-slip regulation (ASR)
/ Dynamic stability control
(DSC)
Anti-slip regulation (or traction control) optimises traction by using engine braking and by applying the brakes on the driving wheels to avoid one or more wheels spinning. It also enhances the vehicle's directional stability.If there is a difference between the vehicle’s trajectory and the path desired by the driver, the dynamic stability control system automatically uses engine braking and the brakes on one or
more wheels to return the vehicle to the desired path, within the limits of the laws of physics.These systems are activated automatically every time the vehicle is started.These systems are activated in the event of a problem with grip or trajectory (confirmed by this warning lamp flashing on the instrument panel).
Deactivation/Reactivation
In exceptional conditions (moving a vehicle that is bogged down in mud, stuck in snow, on loose soil, etc.), it may prove useful to deactivate the DSC/ASR systems, so that the wheels can move freely and regain grip.However, it is recommended that the systems be reactivated as soon as possible.
NOTIC E
Only the ASR system can be deactivated from the touch screen.
Deactivating using the button or Toyota Traction SelectPress this button or turn the thumbwheel to this position.The indicator lamp in the button or thumbwheel comes on: the DSC/ASR systems no longer
have an effect on engine operation.Deactivating using the touch screenIn the "Driving/Vehicle" menu, deactivate the ASR system.

OrTurn the thumbwheel to this position.
The indicator lamp in the button or thumbwheel goes off.Reactivating using the touch screenIn the "Driving/Vehicle" menu, activate the ASR system.A confirmation message is displayed and this warning lamp on the instrument panel goes off.These systems are reactivated automatically every time the ignition is switched off, or at speeds over 31 mph (50 km/h).Below 31 mph (50 km/h), these systems must be reactivated manually.
Malfunction
In the event of a malfunction, this warning lamp comes on on the instrument panel, accompanied by the display of a message and an audible signal.
Have it checked by any authorized Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or any reliable repairer.
WARNI NG
ASR/DSCThese systems enhance safety during normal driving, but should not encourage the driver to
take extra risks or drive at high speed.It is in conditions of reduced grip (rain, snow, ice) that the risk of loss of grip increases. It is therefore important for your safety to keep these systems activated in all conditions, and particularly in difficult conditions.Correct operation of these systems depends on compliance with the manufacturer's recommendations relating to the wheels (tyres and rims), braking and electronic components, as well as the assembly and repair procedures provided by any authorized Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or any reliable repairer.In order to ensure that these systems remain effective in wintry conditions, the use of snow or all-season tyres is recommended. All four wheels must be fitted with tyres approved for your vehicle.All tyre specifications are listed on the tyre/paint label. For more information on Identification markings, refer to the corresponding section.
Intelligent traction control
Depending on version, the vehicle has a system to help with driving on snow: intelligent traction control.This system detects situations of poor surface grip that could make it difficult to move off or make progress on deep fresh snow or compacted snow.In these situations, the system limits the amount
of wheel spin to provide the best traction and trajectory control for the vehicle.
NOTIC E
The use of snow tyres is strongly recommended on surfaces offering low levels of grip.
Trailer stability assist (TSA)
When towing, this system reduces the risk of the vehicle or trailer snaking.
Operation
The system is activated automatically when the ignition is switched on.The electronic stability control system (VSC) must not have any faults.
The vehicle speed must be between 37 and 99 mph (60 and 160 km/h).If the system detects that the trailer is snaking, it applies the brakes to stabilise the trailer and reduces engine power, if

necessary, to slow the vehicle (indicated by the flashing of this warning lamp on the instrument panel and the brake lamps coming on).For information on weights and towed loads, refer to the Engine technical data and towed loads section or your vehicle’s registration certificate.To ensure safe driving with a Towing device, refer to the corresponding section.
Malfunction
If a fault occurs, this warning lamp lights up on the instrument panel, accompanied by a message and an audible signal.To continue towing a trailer, reduce speed and drive carefully!Have it checked by any authorized Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or any reliable repairer.
WARNI NG
The trailer stability control system provides an extra safety feature under normal driving conditions, when following the recommendations for use of trailers and current legislation in force in your country. It must not encourage the driver to take extra risks, such as using a trailer in unsuitable
conditions of operation (e.g. excessive load, exceeded nose weight, worn or under-inflated
tyres, faulty braking system) or driving at excessive speed.In certain cases, the system may not detect trailer snaking, particularly with a light trailer.When driving on slippery or poor surfaces, the system may not be able to prevent sudden trailer snaking.
Toyota Traction Select
(Depending on version)A special, patented traction control system, which improves driveability on snow, mud and sand.This system, optimised for operation in a range of conditions, enables you to manoeuvre in most slippery conditions (encountered during normal passenger car use).When combined with all-season Peak Mountain Snow Flake tyres, this system offers a compromise between safety, grip and driveability.The accelerator pedal should be pressed sufficiently to allow the system to harness the power of the engine. Operation at high engine speeds is completely normal.A five-position selector knob allows you to choose the setting best suited to the driving conditions encountered.
An indicator lamp associated with each mode comes on, accompanied by the display of a message to confirm your choice.
Operating modes


Standard (VSC)
This mode is calibrated for a low level of wheel spin, based on the different levels of grip normally encountered on the road.
NOTIC E
Every time the ignition is switched off, the system automatically resets to this mode.
Snow
This mode adapts its strategy to the conditions of grip encountered for each of
the two front wheels on moving off.

11 6
(mode active up to 80 km/h (50 mph))
All terrain (mud, damp grass, etc.)
This mode, when moving off, allows considerable spin on the wheel with the least grip to optimise clearing of the mud and to 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 km/h (31 mph))
Sand
This mode allows little spin on the two driving wheels at the same time to allow the vehicle to move forward and limit the risks of getting stuck in the sand.(mode active up to 75 mph (120 km/h))
WARNI NG
Do not use the other modes on sand as the vehicle may become stuck.
You can deactivate the ASR and DSC systems by turning the knob to the "OFF" position.
NOTIC E
The ASR and DSC systems will no longer act on the operation of the engine or of the brakes in the event of a change of trajectory.These systems are reactivated automatically from 31 mph (50 km/h) and whenever the ignition is switched on.
WARNI NG
RecommendationsYour vehicle is designed principally to drive on tarmac roads but it allows you to occasionally drive on other less passable terrain.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, etc.) due to obstacles or stones in particular,– driving on terrain with steep gradients and poor grip,– crossing a stream.
Seat belts
Inertia reelThe seat belts are equipped with an inertia reel which allows the strap length to automatically adjust to your shape. The seat belt returns to its storage automatically when it is not used.The inertia reels are fitted with a device which automatically locks the strap in the event of a
collision, emergency braking or if the vehicle rolls over. It can be released by pulling the strap firmly and then releasing it so that it reels in slightly.Pyrotechnic pretensioningThis system improves safety in the event of a frontal or side impact.Depending on the severity of the impact, the pyrotechnic pretensioning system instantly tightens the seat belts against the body of the occupants.The pyrotechnic pretensioning seat belts are enabled when the ignition is on.Force limiterThis system reduces the pressure of the seat belt on the chest of the occupant, thus improving their protection.
WARNI NG
In the event of an impactDepending on the nature and seriousness of the impacts, the pyrotechnic device may trigger before and independently of airbag deployment. Deployment of the pretensioners

Airbags
General information
System designed to help improve the safety of the occupants sitting in the front seats and the rear outer seats, in the event of a violent collision. The airbags supplement the action of the seat belts equipped with a force limiting
system.Electronic detectors record and analyse the front and side impacts sustained in the impact detection zones:– In the event of violent impact, the airbags deploy instantly and help better protect the occupants of the vehicle; immediately after the impact, the airbags deflate rapidly in order not to hinder the visibility or the possible exit of the occupants.– In the event of a slight impact, a rear impact and under certain rollover conditions, the airbags may not deploy; only the seat belt helps to protect you in these situations.The seriousness of the impact depends on the nature of the obstacle and the speed of the vehicle at the moment of collision.
WARNI NG
The airbags do not operate when the ignition is switched off.This equipment will only deploy once. If a second impact occurs (during the same or a subsequent accident), the airbag will not be deployed again.
Impact detection zones
A.Front impact zone
B.Side impact zone
NOTIC E
When one or more airbags are deployed, the detonation of the pyrotechnic charge incorporated in the system makes a noise and releases a small quantity of smoke.This smoke is not harmful, but sensitive individuals may experience slight irritation.The detonation noise associated with the deployment of one or more airbags may result in a slight loss of hearing for a short time.
Front airbags

System that protects the driver and front passenger(s) in the event of a serious front impact, limiting the risk of head and chest injury.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.
Deployment
The airbags are deployed (except the front passenger airbag if it has been deactivated) in the event of a serious front impact to all or part of the frontal impact zone A, in the longitudinal centreline of the vehicle on a horizontal plane and directed from the front towards the rear of the vehicle.The front airbag inflates between the chest and
head of the front occupant of the vehicle and the steering wheel, on the driver's side, and the dashboard, on the passenger side, to cushion their forward movement.

122
WARNI NG
In the event of a minor impact or bump at the side of the vehicle or if the vehicle rolls over, the airbags may not be deployed.In the event of a rear or front collision, none of the lateral airbags are deployed.
Advice
WARNI NG
For the airbags to be fully effective, observe the safety recommendations below.Adopt a normal and upright sitting position.Fasten your seat belt and position it correctly.Do not place anything between the occupants and the airbags (e.g. child, animal, object), do not fix or attach anything near or in the path of the airbags, as this could cause injuries when they are deployed.Never modify the original definition of the vehicle, particularly in the area directly around the airbags.Even if all of the precautions mentioned are observed, a risk of injury or of minor burns to the head, chest or arms cannot be ruled out
when an airbag is deployed. 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.After an accident or if the vehicle has been stolen, have the airbag systems checked.All work must be carried out only by any authorized Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or any reliable repairer.
WARNI NG
Front airbagsDo 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 fix or attach anything to the steering wheel or dashboard, as this could cause injuries when the airbags are deployed.
WARNI NG
Lateral airbagsUse only approved seat covers compatible with the deployment of these airbags. For information on the range of seat covers suitable for your vehicle, contact any authorized Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or any reliable repairer.
Do not fix or attach anything to the seat backrests (e.g. clothing) as this could cause injuries to the chest or arm when the airbag is deployed.Do not sit with the upper part of the body any nearer to the door than necessary.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!All work must be carried out only by any authorized Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or any reliable repairer.

Driving recommendations
► Observe the driving regulations and remain vigilant whatever the traffic conditions.► Monitor your environment and keep your hands on the wheel to be able to react to anything that may happen any time.► Drive smoothly, anticipate the need for braking and maintain a longer safety distance,
especially in bad weather.► Stop the vehicle to carry out operations that require close attention (such as adjustments).► During long trips, take a break every two hours.To ensure the durability of the vehicle and for safety reasons, remember that certain precautionary measures must be taken when driving the vehicle:
Manoeuvre cautiously, at low speed
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.
Drive the vehicle carefully
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.
Maintenance
Inflate to the minimum pressure indicated on the label, or even over-inflate by 0.2 to 0.3 bar for long journeys.
