Emergency braking
If depressing the brake pedal fails to provide effective braking or in exceptional circumstances (e.g. driver unwell, assisted driving), the vehicle can be braked by sustained pulling on the electric parking brake control. Braking continues for as long as the control is kept pulled, and ceases when the control is released.The ABS and DSC systems stabilise the vehicle during emergency braking.If emergency braking malfunctions, the message "Parking brake fault" will be displayed on the instrument panel.If the ABS and DSC systems malfunction, indicated by lighting one or both warning lamps on the instrument panel, the vehicle’s stability is no longer ensured.► In this case, ensure the vehicle's stability by successive and repeated "pull-release" actions on the electric parking brake control until the vehicle comes to a complete stop.
Hill start assist
System which briefly keeps the vehicle stationary (for approximately 2 seconds) when making a hill start, while you transfer your foot from the brake pedal to the accelerator pedal.It is only active when:– The vehicle is completely stationary, with your foot on the brake pedal.– Certain slope conditions are met.– The driver’s door is closed.
WARNI NG
Do not leave the vehicle while it is being held temporarily by hill start assist.If someone needs to get out of the vehicle with the engine running, apply the parking brake manually. Then check that the parking brake indicator lamp and the P indicator lamp in the electric parking brake control lever are on fixed.
WARNI NG
The hill start assist function cannot be deactivated. However, using the parking brake to immobilise the vehicle interrupts its operation.
Operation
Facing uphill, with the vehicle stationary, the vehicle is held for a short time when the driver releases the brake pedal:– If first gear or neutral is engaged on a manual gearbox.– If mode D or M is selected on an automatic gearbox.– If mode D or B is selected on the drive selector.
Facing downhill, with the vehicle stationary and reverse gear engaged, the vehicle is held for a short time when the driver releases the brake pedal.

operation
This symbol is displayed if a gear is not engaged correctly (gear selector between two positions).► Place the selector "correctly" at a position.
Switching off the vehicle
Before switching off the engine, select position P then apply the parking brake to immobilise the vehicle, unless this is set to automatic mode (with electric parking brake).Check that mode P has been engaged and that the electric parking brake has been applied automatically; if not, apply it manually.The corresponding indicator lamps in the selector and the electric parking brake control lever must be on, as well as those on the instrument panel.
NOTIC E
A point of resistance may be noticed when moving to position P.If the selector is not in position P, when the driver's door is opened or approximately 45 seconds after the ignition is switched off, an audible signal sounds and a message appears.► Return the drive selector to position P; the audible signal stops and the message disappears.
WARNI NG
When positioned on a steep slope with a loaded vehicle, depress the brake pedal, select position P, apply the parking brake, unless it is set to automatic mode (with electric parking brake), then release the brake pedal.
WARNI NG
In all circumstances, ensure that the selector is in position P before leaving your vehicle.
Malfunction
In the event of a malfunction, this warning lamp comes on and a message is displayed, when the ignition is switched on.In this case, the gearbox goes into back-up mode and is locked in 3rd gear. You may feel a significant jolt (without risk to the gearbox) when changing from P to R and from N to R.Do not exceed 62 mph (100 km/h), local speed restrictions permitting.Have it checked by any authorized Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or any reliable repairer.
WARNI NG
There is a risk of damaging the gearbox:– If the accelerator and brake pedals are depressed simultaneously.– In the event of a battery failure, forcing the selector from position P to another position.

NOTIC E
If you open the driver's door while mode N is engaged, an audible signal will sound and mode P will be engaged. The audible signal stops when the driver's door is closed.
WARNI NG
At speeds below 3 mph (5 km/h), opening the driver’s door will engage mode P - risk of sudden braking!
WARNI NG
In the event of battery failure, it is essential to place the chock(s) supplied with the tool kit against one of the wheels to immobilise the vehicle.
Special aspects of automatic mode
The gearbox selects the gear that provides optimal performance based on ambient temperature, road profile, vehicle loading and driving style.For maximum acceleration, press the accelerator fully down (kick-down). The gearbox changes
down automatically or holds the selected gear until the maximum engine speed is reached.
Steering mounted controls allow the driver to temporarily select a gear, if the vehicle speed and engine speed conditions permit.
Special aspects of manual mode
The gearbox only changes from one gear to another if the vehicle speed and engine speed conditions permit.
Starting the vehicle
► Fully depress the brake pedal.► Start the engine.► With your foot on the brake pedal, push once or twice backwards to select automatic mode D, or forwards to shift into reverse gear R.► Release the brake pedal.► Accelerate gradually to automatically release the electric parking brake.The vehicle moves off immediately.
WARNI NG

Coasting modesDepending on version or engine, with an EAT8 gearbox and the gear selector in mode D, gradually releasing the accelerator pedal fully allows free-wheeling which can save fuel.A drop in engine speed is normal (rev counter at idle, drop in engine noise).
Gear efficiency indicator
(Depending on engine.)This system helps reduce fuel consumption by recommending the most appropriate gear.
Operation
Depending on the driving situation and the vehicle's equipment, the system may advise to skip one or more gears.Gear shift recommendations should not be considered compulsory. In fact, the road layout,
the traffic density and safety remain the deciding factors when choosing the best gear. The driver therefore remains responsible for deciding whether or not to follow the indications issued by the system.This function cannot be deactivated.
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 (power, acceleration, braking, etc.).The system never suggests:– engaging first gear;– engaging reverse.
Stop & Start (Petrol or
Diesel)
The Stop & Start function puts the engine temporarily into standby - STOP mode - during phases when the vehicle is stopped (red lights, queues, etc.). The engine restarts automatically - START mode - as soon as the driver wishes to move off again.Primarily designed for urban use, the function is intended to reduce fuel consumption and
exhaust emissions as well as the noise level when stationary.The function does not affect the functionalities of the vehicle, in particular the braking.
WARNI NG
Opening the bonnetBefore doing anything under the bonnet, deactivate the Stop & Start system to avoid any risk of injury caused by the engine restarting automatically.
WARNI NG
Driving on flooded roadsBefore entering into a flooded area, it is strongly recommended that you deactivate the Stop & Start system.For more information on Driving recommendations, particularly on flooded roads, refer to the corresponding section.

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 the vehicle checked by a TOYOTA dealer or a qualified workshop.
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 alerts the driver if one or more tyres suffer a drop in pressure.The alert is raised when the vehicle is moving, not when stationary.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.It takes into account the last values stored during the reinitialisation request. It is therefore essential that the tyre pressure is correct during the operation. This operation is the driver's responsibility.
WARNI NG
The tyre under-inflation detection cannot, in any circumstances, 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), especially 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 energy consumption.

Cruise control - particular
recommendations
WARNI NG
The cruise control function does not guarantee compliance with the maximum authorised speed and the safety distance between vehicles, the driver remains
responsible for their driving.In the interest of public safety, only use cruise control if the traffic conditions enables vehicles to drive at steady speed and maintain an adequate safety distance.Remain vigilant while cruise control is activated. If you press and hold one of the speed setting modification buttons, your vehicle may change speed very abruptly.When descending a steep hill, the cruise control system cannot prevent the vehicle from exceeding the set speed. Brake if necessary to control the vehicle speed.On steep climbs or when towing, the set speed may not be reached or maintained.
NOTIC E
Exceeding the programmed speed settingYou can temporarily exceed the speed setting by pressing the accelerator pedal (the programmed speed flashes).To return to the speed setting, release the accelerator pedal (when the set speed is reached again, the displayed speed stops flashing).

Rear parking sensors
► Engage reverse gear to start the system (confirmed by an audible signal).The system is switched off when reverse gear is disengaged.
Audible assistance
The system signals the presence of obstacles which are both within the sensors’ detection zone and in the vehicle path defined by the direction of the steering wheel.
Depending on version, in the example shown, only the obstacles present in the shaded area will be signalled by the audible assistance.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 30 cm (0 ft 11"), the audible signal becomes continuous.The sound emitted by the speaker (right or left) indicates the side on which the obstacle is located.
NOTIC E
Adjusting the audible signalWith TOYOTA Connect Radio or TOYOTA Connect Nav, pressing this button opens the window for adjusting the volume of the audible signal.
Visual assistance
It supplements the audible assistance, without taking account of the vehicle's trajectory, by displaying bars on the screen that represent the distance between the obstacle and the vehicle (white: more distant obstacles, orange: 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 in relation to the vehicle, in the vehicle trajectory, in front or behind.
