NOTIC E
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.

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.

Driving aidsYou should hold the steering wheel with both hands, always use the interior and exterior rear view mirrors, always keep the feet close to the pedals and take a break every two hours.
NOTIC E
Manoeuvring aidsThe driver must always check the surroundings of the vehicle before and during the whole manoeuvre, in particular using the mirrors.
WARNI NG
Radar(s)The operation of the radar(s), along with any associated functions, may be affected by the accumulation of dirt (e.g. mud, ice), in poor weather conditions (e.g. heavy rain, snow), or if the bumpers are damaged.If the front bumper is to be repainted, contact any authorized Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or any reliable repairer; certain types of paint could interfere with the operation of the radar(s).


WARNI NG
Driving aids cameraThis camera and its associated functions may be impaired or not work if the windscreen area in front of the camera is dirty, misty, frosty, covered with snow, damaged or masked by a sticker.In humid and cold weather, demist the windscreen regularly.Poor visibility (inadequate street lighting, heavy rain, thick fog, snowfall), dazzle (headlamps of an oncoming vehicle, low sun, reflections on a damp road, leaving a tunnel, alternating shade and light) can also impair
detection performance.In the event of a windscreen replacement, contact any authorized Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or any reliable repairer to recalibrate the camera; otherwise, the operation of the associated driving aids may be disrupted.
NOTIC E
Other camerasThe images from the camera(s) displayed on the touch screen or on the instrument panel may be distorted by the terrain.In the presence of areas in shade, or in conditions of bright sunlight or inadequate lighting, the image may be darkened and with lower contrast.Obstacles may appear further away than they actually are.
WARNI NG
SensorsThe operation of the sensors, as well as any associated functions, may be disrupted by noise pollution such as that emitted by noisy vehicles and machinery (e.g. lorries, pneumatic drills), by the accumulation of snow or dead leaves on the road or in the
event of damaged bumpers and mirrors.When reverse gear is engaged, an audible signal (long beep) indicates that the sensors may be dirty.A front or rear impact to the vehicle can upset the sensors’ settings, which is not always detected by the system: distance measurements may be distorted.

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).
WARNI NG
Operating limitsNever use the system in the following situations:– In an urban area with the risk of pedestrians crossing the road.– In heavy traffic (except versions with the Stop & Go function).– On winding or steep roads.– On slippery or flooded roads.
– In poor weather conditions.– In the event of restricted visibility for the driver.– Driving on a speed circuit.– Driving on a rolling road.– When using a 'space-saver' type spare wheel.– When using snow chains, non-slip covers or studded tyres.
Programmable cruise
control
WARNI NG
For more information, refer to the General recommendations on the use of driving and manoeuvring aids and to Cruise control - particular recommendations.
This system automatically maintains the vehicle’s speed at the value programmed by the driver (speed setting), without the use of the accelerator pedal.Cruise control is switched on manually.It requires a minimum vehicle speed of 25 mph (40 km/h).With a manual gearbox, third gear or higher must be engaged.With an automatic gearbox, mode D or second gear or higher in mode M must be engaged.With a drive selector, mode D or B must be
engaged.

In the event of a malfunction, dashes are displayed flashing and then fixed instead of the speed setting.Have it checked by any authorized Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or any reliable repairer.
Adaptive Cruise Control
WARNI NG
For more information, refer to the General recommendations on the use of driving and manoeuvring aids and to Cruise control - particular recommendations.
This system automatically maintains the vehicle speed at a value set by the driver (speed setting), while respecting a safety distance from the vehicle in front (target vehicle) previously set by the driver. The system automatically manages the acceleration and deceleration of the vehicle.With a manual gearbox, the system slows the vehicle down as far as a speed of 30 km/h (19 mph).With the Stop function, the system manages the braking until the vehicle comes to a complete stop.
WARNI NG
The brake lamps come on if the vehicle is slowed down by the system.It can be dangerous to drive if the brake lamps are not in perfect working order.


To do so, the system uses a camera located at the top of the windscreen and, depending on version, a radar located in the front bumper.
WARNI NG
Primarily designed for driving on main roads and motorways, this system only works with moving vehicles driving in the same direction as your vehicle.
NOTIC E
If the driver activates the direction indicator to overtake a slower vehicle, cruise control may temporarily reduce the distance to the target vehicle to facilitate overtaking, without exceeding the speed setting.
