Audible assistance
The function signals the presence of obstacles
present within the sensors’ detection zone.The proximity information is given by an intermittent audible signal, the frequency of which increases as the vehicle approaches the obstacle.When the distance between the vehicle and the obstacle becomes less than about thirty centimetres, the audible signal becomes continuous.The sound emitted by the speaker (right or left) allows you to identify the side on which the obstacle is located.
Visual assistance
This supplements the audible signal by displaying bars on the screen that move
progressively nearer to the vehicle (green: more distant obstacles; yellow: close obstacles; red: very close obstacles).When the obstacle is very close, the "Danger" symbol is displayed on the screen.
Front parking sensors
In addition to the rear parking sensors, the front parking sensors are triggered when an obstacle is detected in front and the speed of the vehicle is still below 10 km/h (6 mph).The front parking sensors are interrupted if the vehicle stops for more than three seconds in forward gear, if an obstacle is no longer detected or when the speed of the vehicle exceeds 10 km/h (6 mph).
NOTIC E
The sound emitted by the speaker (front or rear) locates the obstacle relative to the vehicle, in front or behind it.
Deactivation/Activation

Installation tips
► If you have to fit the chains during a journey, stop the vehicle on a flat surface on the side of the road.► Apply the parking brake and position any wheel chocks under the wheels to prevent movement of your vehicle.► Fit the chains following the instructions provided by the manufacturer.
► Move off gently and drive for a few moments, without exceeding 50 km/h (31 mph).► Stop your vehicle and check that the snow chains are correctly tightened.
NOTIC E
It is strongly recommended that before you leave, you practise fitting the snow chains on a level and dry surface.
WARNI NG
Avoid driving with snow chains on roads that have been cleared of snow to avoid damaging your vehicle's tyres and the road surface. If your vehicle is fitted with alloy wheels, check that no part of the chain or its fixings is in contact with the wheel rim.
Towing device
Load distribution► 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 performance. The maximum towed load
must be reduced by 10 % for every 1,000 metres (3,280 ft) of altitude.
NOTIC E
Use towing devices and their unmodified harnesses approved by TOYOTA. It is recommended that the installation be performed by any authorized Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or any reliable repairer.If the towing device is not fitted by any authorized Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or any reliable repairer, it must still be fitted in accordance with the vehicle manufacturer's instructions.Certain driving assistance or manoeuvring assistance functions are automatically disabled if an approved towbar is used.
WARNI NG
Observe the maximum authorised towable weight, indicated on your vehicle's registration certificate, the manufacturer's label as well as in the Technical data section of this guide.Complying with the maximum authorised nose weight (towball) also includes the use of accessories (bicycle carriers, tow
boxes, etc.).
WARNI NG
Observe the legislation in force in the country in which you are driving.
NOTIC E

In order to maintain the reliability of the engine and emissions control system, never use additives in the engine oil.
Checking using the dipstick
For the location of the dipstick, please refer
to the illustration of the corresponding engine compartment.► Grasp the dipstick by its coloured grip and pull it out completely.► Wipe the end of the dipstick using a clean, lint-free cloth.
► Reinsert the dipstick and push fully down, then pull it out again to visually check the oil level: the correct level is between marks A (max) and B (min). Do not start the engine if the level is:– above mark A: contact any authorized Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or any reliable repairer.– below mark B: top up the engine oil immediately.
WARNI NG
Oil gradeBefore topping up or changing the engine oil, check that the oil is suitable for your engine and complies with the recommendations in the service schedule supplied with the vehicle (or available from your authorized Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or any
reliable repairer).Use of non-recommended oil may invalidate your warranty in the event of engine failure.
Topping up the engine oil level
For the location of the engine oil filler cap, please refer to the corresponding engine compartment illustration.► Add oil in small quantities, avoiding any spills on engine components (risk of fire).► Wait a few minutes before checking the level again using the dipstick.► Top up the level if necessary.► After checking the level, carefully screw the oil filler cap back on and replace the dipstick in its tube.
NOTIC E
The oil level indication displayed on the instrument panel when the ignition is switched on is not valid for 30 minutes following an addition of oil.
Brake fluid
The level of this fluid should be close to the "MAX" mark. If not, check the brake pad wear.To know how often the brake fluid should be replaced, refer to the manufacturer's servicing schedule.
WARNI NG
If topping up, clean the cap before replacing it. Use only DOT4 brake fluid from a sealed canister.
Power steering fluid
The level of this fluid should be close to the "MAX" mark. Check it, with the vehicle parked on level ground and with the engine cold, by reading the level on the filler neck.
Engine coolant
(Diesel)
It is normal to top up this fluid between two services.The check and top-up must only be done with the engine cold.A level of coolant that is too low risks causing
major damage to the engine; the coolant level must be close to the "MAX" mark without ever going above it.

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.
