NOTIC E
When the lighting is left onAn audible signal when a front door is opened warns the driver that the vehicle's exterior lighting is on, with the ignition off and in manual lighting mode.In this case, switching off the lighting stops the audible signal.The lighting goes off when you switch off the ignition, but you can always switch it on again using the lighting control lever.
NOTIC E
Travelling abroad
If using your vehicle in a country that drives on the other side of the road, the headlamps must be adjusted to avoid dazzling on-coming drivers.Contact a TOYOTA dealer or a qualified workshop.
WARNI NG
In good or rainy weather, by both day and night, use of the front foglamps and the rear foglamps are prohibited. In these situations, the power of their beams may dazzle other drivers. They should only be used in fog or falling snow.In these weather conditions, it is your responsibility to switch on the foglamps and dipped headlamps manually as the sunshine sensor may detect sufficient light.Switch off the front and rear foglamps when they are no longer necessary.
WARNI NG
Never look too closely at the luminous beam of LED headlamps: risk of serious eye injury.
Direction indicators

76
NOTIC E
The windscreen wash jets are incorporated into the tip of each wiper arm.Screenwash fluid is sprayed along the length of the wiper blade. This improves visibility and reduces screenwash fluid consumption.In some cases, depending on the contents or colour of the fluid and on the exterior brightness, the liquid spray may be barely noticeable.
WARNI NG
To avoid damaging the wiper blades, do not operate the windscreen washer if the windscreen washer reservoir is empty.Only operate the windscreen washer if there is no risk of the fluid freezing on the windscreen and hindering visibility. Always use windscreen washer fluid suitable for low temperatures during the winter period.
Never top up with water.

Starting using another
battery
When your vehicle's battery is discharged, the engine can be started using a backup battery (external or from another vehicle) and jump leads or using a battery booster.
WARNI NG
Never start the engine by connecting a battery charger.Never use a 24 V or higher battery booster.Check beforehand that the backup battery has a nominal voltage of 12 V and a capacity at least equal to that of the discharged battery.The two vehicles must not be in contact with each other.Switch off all the electrical consumers on both vehicles (audio system, wipers, lighting, etc.).Make sure that the jump leads are not close to the moving parts of the engine (fan, belt, etc.).Do not disconnect the (+) terminal while the engine is running.


â–º Connect the red cable to the (+) terminal of flat battery A (at the metal elbow), then to the (+) terminal of backup battery B or the booster.â–º Connect one end of the green or black cable to the (-) terminal of backup battery B or the booster (or to an earth point on the assisting vehicle).â–º Connect the other end of the green or black cable to earth point C on the broken down vehicle.â–º Start the engine of the assisting vehicle and leave it running for a few minutes.â–º Operate the starter on the broken down vehicle and let the engine run.If the engine does not start straight away, switch off the ignition and wait a few moments before trying again.â–º Wait for it to return to idle.â–º Disconnect the jump leads in reverse order.â–º Allow the engine to run for at least 30 minutes, by driving or with the vehicle
stationary, so that the battery reaches an adequate state of charge.
WARNI NG
To disconnect, proceed in reverse order.
NOTIC E
Some functions, including Stop & Start, are not available if the battery is not sufficiently charged.
Charging the battery using a
battery charger
For optimum service life of the battery, it is essential to maintain an adequate state of charge.In some circumstances, it may be necessary to charge the battery:– using the vehicle mainly for short journeys;– if the vehicle is to be taken off the road for several weeks.Contact a TOYOTA dealer or a qualified workshop.
