Thermal comfort
consumption indicator
(Electric)

The gauge shows the consumption of the traction battery's electrical energy by the thermal comfort devices in the passenger compartment.The devices in question are the heating and air conditioning systems.This equipment can be used:
– If the vehicle is not plugged in, when the READY lamp is lit.– If the vehicle is plugged in, when the ignition is switched on ("Lounge" mode).Selecting ECO mode limits the performance of some of this equipment. The needle on the thermal comfort consumption indicator then moves into the "ECO" zone.
NOTIC E
To quickly heat or cool the passenger compartment, feel free to temporarily select the maximum heating or cooling setting.When the heating is on maximum, the gauge on the thermal comfort consumption indicator is in the MAX zone. When the air conditioning is on maximum, it stays in the ECO zone.
Excessive use of thermal comfort equipment, particularly at low speed, can significantly decrease the vehicle's range.Remember to optimise equipment settings upon achieving the desired level of comfort, and adjust them if necessary whenever you start the vehicle.After an extended period without using the heating, you may notice a slight odour during the first few minutes of use.
Distance recorders
The total and trip distances are displayed for thirty seconds when the ignition is switched off, when the driver's door is opened and when the vehicle is locked or unlocked.
Total distance recorder


This recorder measures the total distance travelled by the vehicle since its initial registration.
Trip distance recorder (Diesel)

NOTIC E
When the engine is cold, the air flow will only increase to its optimum level gradually, to avoid distributing too much cold air.In cold weather, it prioritises the distribution of warm air to the windscreen, the side windows and the footwells only.
Manual mode
It is possible to make a different choice from that offered by the system by changing a setting. The other functions will still be managed automatically.As soon as a setting is changed, the "AUTO" symbol disappears.
Deactivating the system
► Press button 2 "-" until the fan symbol disappears.This disables all functions of the dual-zone automatic air conditioning system.The temperature is no longer regulated. A slight flow of air can still be felt, due to the forward movement of the vehicle.► Press button 2 "+" to switch the system on again.
Temperature
The driver and front passenger can each set the temperature to suit their preferences.The value shown on the display is a level of comfort, not a temperature in Celsius or Fahrenheit.► Push button 1 down to decrease the value or up to increase it.
NOTIC E
A setting of around 21 provides optimum comfort. Depending on your requirements, a setting between 18 and 24 is normal.In addition, we recommend avoiding left/right setting differences of more than 3.
NOTIC E
On entering the vehicle, if the interior temperature is significantly colder or warmer than the comfort value setting, there is no need to alter the value displayed in order to reach the required level of comfort. The system compensates automatically and corrects the temperature difference as quickly as possible.
NOTIC E
For maximum cooling or heating of the passenger compartment, it is possible to exceed the minimum value 14 or the maximum value 28.► Push button 1 down until "LO" is displayed or up until "HI" is displayed.

WARNI NG
Never leave a vehicle unattended with the engine running. If you have to leave your vehicle with the engine running, apply the parking brake and put the gearbox into neutral or position N or P (depending on the type of gearbox).
WARNI NG
Never leave children inside the vehicle unsupervised.
On flooded roads
We strongly advise against driving on flooded roads, as this could cause serious damage to the engine or gearbox, as well as to your vehicle's electrical systems.

If the vehicle absolutely must drive through a flooded section of road:► Check that the depth of the water does not exceed 15 cm, taking account of waves that might be generated by other users.
► Deactivate the Stop & Start function.► Drive as slowly as possible without stalling. In all cases, do not exceed 6 mph (10 km/h).► Do not stop and do not switch off the motor.On leaving the flooded road, as soon as safety conditions allow, make several light brake applications to dry the brake discs and pads.If in doubt about the state of your vehicle, contact any authorized Toyota retailer or Toyota
authorized repairer, or any reliable repairer.
Noise (Electric)
On the outside
Due to the vehicle’s quiet operation when driving, the driver must pay particular attention.At speeds of up to 19 mph (30 km/h), the pedestrian horn warns other road users of the vehicle’s presence.
NOTIC E
Cooling the traction batteryThe cooling fan comes on during charging to cool the on-board charger and the traction battery.
On the inside
During use, you may hear certain perfectly
normal noises specific to electric vehicles, such as:– Traction battery relay when starting.– Vacuum pump when braking.
– Vehicle tyres or aerodynamics when driving.– Jolting and knocking noise during hill starts.
In case of towing
WARNI NG
Driving with a trailer places greater demands on the towing vehicle and requires extra care from the driver.
NOTIC E
Respect the maximum towable weights.At altitude: reduce the maximum load by 10% per 1,000 metres (3,280 ft) of altitude; the density of the air decreases with altitude and the performance of the engine reduces.
WARNI NG
New vehicle: do not pull a trailer before having driven at least 1,000 kilometres (620 miles).
NOTIC E
If the outside temperature is high, let the engine idle for 1 to 2 minutes after the vehicle comes to a stop, to help it to cool.

150
Before setting off
Nose weight
► Distribute the load in the trailer so that the heaviest items are as close as possible to the axle and the nose weight (at the point where it joins your vehicle) approaches the maximum permitted without exceeding it.
Tyres
► Check the tyre pressures of the towing vehicle and of the trailer, observing the recommended pressures.
Lighting
► Check the electrical signalling on the trailer and the headlamp beam height of your vehicle.
NOTIC E
If a genuine TOYOTA towing device is used, the rear parking sensors will be deactivated automatically to avoid the audible signal.
When driving
Cooling
Towing a trailer uphill causes the coolant temperature to increase. The maximum towable load depends on the gradient and the exterior
temperature. The fan’s cooling capacity does not increase with engine speed.► Reduce speed and lower the engine speed to limit the amount of heating produced.
In all cases, pay attention to the coolant temperature.If this warning lamp and the STOP warning lamp come on, stop the vehicle and switch off the engine as soon as possible.
Brakes
Braking distances are increased when towing a trailer. To avoid overheating the brakes, the use
of engine braking is recommended.
Side wind
Bear in mind that the vehicle will be more susceptible to wind when towing.
Anti-theft protection
Electronic immobiliser
The remote control contains an electronic chip which has a special code. When the ignition is switched on, this code must be recognised in order for starting to be possible.A few seconds after switching off the ignition, this system locks the engine control system, therefore preventing the engine from being started in the event of a break-in.In the event of a fault, you are informed by illumination of this warning lamp, an audible signal and a message on the screen.The vehicle will not start; contact any authorized Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or any reliable repairer as soon as possible.
