Warning and indicator
lamps
Displayed as symbols, the warning and indicator lamps inform the driver of the occurrence of a malfunction (warning lamps) or of the operating status of a system (operation or deactivation indicator lamps). Certain lamps light up in two ways (fixed or flashing) and/or in several colours.
Associated warnings
The illumination of a lamp may be accompanied by an audible signal and/or a message displayed in a screen.
Relating the type of alert to the operating status of the vehicle allows you to determine whether the situation is normal or whether a fault has
occurred: refer to the description of each lamp for further information.
When the ignition is switched on
Certain red or orange warning lamps come on for a few seconds when the ignition is switched on. These warning lamps should go off as soon as the engine is started.For more information on a system or a function, refer to the corresponding section.
Warning lamp continuously
lit
The illumination of a red or orange warning lamp indicates the occurrence of a fault that needs further investigation.
If a warning lamp remains lit
The references (1), (2) and (3) in the warning and indicator lamp description indicate whether you should contact a qualified professional in addition to the immediate recommended actions.(1): You must stop the vehicle.
Stop as soon as it is safe to do so and switch off the ignition.(2): Contact a TOYOTA dealer or a qualified workshop.(3): Visit a TOYOTA dealer or a qualified workshop.

WARNI NG
When braking in an emergency, press very firmly and maintain this pressure.
WARNI NG
When changing wheels (tyres and rims), ensure that these are approved for your
vehicle.
WARNI NG
After an impact, have these systems checked by a TOYOTA dealer or a qualified workshop.
Emergency braking
assistance (EBA)
In an emergency, this system enables you to reach the optimum braking pressure more quickly and therefore reduce the stopping distance.It is triggered in relation to the speed at which the brake pedal is pressed. This is felt by a reduction in the resistance of the pedal and an increase in braking efficiency.
Anti-slip regulation (ASR)
/ Dynamic stability control
(DSC)
Anti-slip regulation optimises traction using engine braking and by applying the brakes on the driving wheels to avoid wheel spinning. It also enhances the vehicle's directional stability while accelerating.If there is a difference between the vehicle’s trajectory and the path desired by the driver, the dynamic stability control system automatically uses engine braking and the brakes on one or more wheels to return the vehicle to the desired path, within the limits of the laws of physics.These systems are activated automatically every time the vehicle is started.They come into operation in the event of a grip or trajectory problem.This warning lamp on the instrument panel flashes to indicate that they are operating.
Deactivation / Reactivation
In exceptional conditions (moving a vehicle that is bogged down in mud, stuck in snow, on loose
soil, etc.), it may prove useful to deactivate the DSC/ASR systems, so that the wheels can move freely and regain grip.However, it is recommended that the system be reactivated as soon as possible.These systems are reactivated automatically every time the ignition is switched off, or from 50 km/h (31 mph).At speeds below 50 km/h (31 mph), the systems can be reactivated manually.Press this button or turn the thumbwheel to this position.The indicator lamp in the button or thumbwheel comes on: the DSC/ASR systems no longer have an effect on engine operation.To reactivate the system:Press this button.
OrTurn the thumbwheel to this position.
The indicator lamp in the button or thumbwheel goes off.
Malfunction
In the event of a system malfunction, this warning lamp comes on, accompanied by an onscreen message and audible signal.Contact a TOYOTA dealer or a qualified workshop to have the systems checked.

WARNI NG
ASR / DSCThese systems enhance safety during normal driving, but should not encourage the driver to take extra risks or drive at high speed.It is in conditions of reduced grip (rain, snow, ice) that the risk of loss of grip increases. It is therefore important for your safety to keep these systems activated in all conditions, and particularly in difficult conditions.Correct operation of these systems depends on compliance with the manufacturer's recommendations relating to the wheels (tyres and rims), braking and electronic components, as well as the assembly and repair procedures used by TOYOTA dealers.The use of snow tyres is recommended, to ensure that these systems remain effective in winter conditions. All four wheels must be fitted with tyres approved for the vehicle.
Trailer stability assist (TSA)
When towing, this system reduces the risk of the vehicle or trailer snaking.
Operation
The system is activated automatically when the ignition is switched on.The electronic stability control system (ESC) must not have any faults.
At speeds between 60 and 160 km/h (37 and 99 mph), if the system detects oscillating trailer movements (snaking), it acts on the brakes to stabilise the trailer and, if necessary, reduces engine power to slow the vehicle.This warning lamp flashes on the instrument panel and the brake lamps light up to draw attention to this corrective action.For information on weights and towed loads, refer to the Engine Technical Data and Towed Loads section or your vehicle’s registration certificateTo ensure safe driving with a Towing device, refer to the corresponding section.
Malfunction
If a fault occurs, this warning lamp comes on in the instrument panel, accompanied by a message and an audible signal.If you wish to continue towing a trailer, reduce your speed and drive carefully!Contact a TOYOTA dealer or a qualified workshop to have the system checked.
WARNI NG
The trailer stability assist system offers enhanced safety in normal driving, provided that the recommendations on towing a trailer are observed. It should not encourage the driver to take risks, such as towing a trailer in adverse operating conditions (overloading, failure to observe the trailer nose weight,
worn or under-inflated tyres, faulty braking system, etc.), or to drive at excessive speeds.In certain cases, the system may not detect trailer snaking, particularly with a light trailer.When driving on slippery or poor surfaces, the system may not be able to prevent sudden trailer snaking.
Advanced Grip Control
A special, patented traction control system which improves driveability on snow, mud and sand.This system, optimised for operation in a range of conditions, enables you to manoeuvre in most slippery conditions (encountered during normal passenger car use).When combined with suitable tyres, this system offers a compromise between safety, grip and driveability.The accelerator pedal should be pressed sufficiently to allow the system to harness the power of the engine. Operation at high engine
speeds is completely normal.A five-position selector knob allows you to choose the setting best suited to the driving conditions encountered.An indicator lamp associated with each mode comes on, accompanied by the display of a message to confirm your choice.

Operating modes
Standard (ESC)
This mode is calibrated for a low level of wheel spin, based on the different levels of grip normally encountered on the road.
NOTIC E
Every time the ignition is switched off, the system automatically resets to this mode.
Snow
This mode adapts its strategy to the conditions of grip encountered for each of the two front wheels on moving off.
(mode active up to 80 km/h (50 mph))
All terrain (mud, damp grass, etc.)
This mode, when moving off, allows considerable spin on the wheel with the least grip to optimise clearing of the mud and to regain grip. At the same time, the wheel with the most grip is controlled in such a way as to transmit as much torque as possible.When moving, the system optimises wheel spin to respond to the driver's requirements as fully as possible.(mode active up to 50 km/h (31 mph))
Sand
This mode allows little spin on the two driving wheels at the same time to allow the vehicle to move forward and limit the risks of getting stuck in the sand.(mode active up to 120 km/h (75 mph))
WARNI NG
Do not use the other modes on sand as the vehicle may become stuck.
You can deactivate the ASR and DSC systems by turning the knob to the "OFF" position.
NOTIC E
The ASR and DSC systems will no longer act on the operation of the engine or of the brakes in the event of a change of trajectory.These systems are reactivated automatically from 50 km/h (31 mph) and whenever the ignition is switched on.
WARNI NG
RecommendationsYour vehicle is designed principally to drive on tarmac roads but it allows you to occasionally drive on other less passable terrain.However, it does not permit off-road driving such as:– crossing and driving on terrain which could damage the underbody or strip away components (fuel pipe, fuel cooler, etc.) due to obstacles or stones in particular,– driving on terrain with steep gradients and
poor grip,– crossing a stream.

Hill Assist Descent
Control
System that provides assistance when descending on loose or soft surfaces (gravel, mud, etc.) or a steep gradient.This system reduces the risk of slip or loss of control of the vehicle when descending, whether going forward or in reverse.During a descent, it assists the driver in maintaining a constant speed, depending on the gear engaged, while progressively releasing the brakes.
NOTIC E
For the system to activate, the slope must be greater than 5%.The system can be used with the gearbox in neutral.Otherwise engage a gear corresponding to the speed to prevent the engine stalling.With an automatic gearbox, the system can be used with the selector at N, D or R.
WARNI NG
When the system is regulating, the Active Safety Brake system is automatically
deactivated.
NOTIC E
The system is not available:– if the speed of the vehicle is above 70 km/h (43 mph),– if the speed of the vehicle is being controlled by the Adaptive Cruise Control, depending on the type of gearbox.
Switching on
By default, the system is not selected.The state of the function is not saved when the ignition is switched off.The driver can select the system when the engine is running, when the vehicle is stationary or when moving at speeds up to approximately 50 km/h (31 mph).
► To select the system, at speeds below 50 km/h (31 mph), press this button until its indicator lights up; this lamp appears in green in the instrument panel.The system becomes active at speeds below 30 km/h (19 mph).
► When the vehicle begins its descent, you can release the accelerator and brake pedals; the system regulates the speed:– if the gearbox is in first or second gear, the speed decreases and the indicator lamp flashes rapidly,– if the gearbox is in neutral or if the clutch pedal is depressed, the speed decreases and the indicator lamp flashes slowly; in this case, the maintained descent speed is lower.On a descent, with the vehicle stationary, if you release the accelerator and brake pedals, the system will release the brakes to set the vehicle gradually in motion.The brake lamps light up automatically when the system is regulating.If the speed exceeds 30 km/h (19 mph), regulation is paused automatically, the indicator lamp goes back to grey in the instrument panel, but the green indicator lamp in the button remains on.Regulation resumes automatically when the speed falls below 30 km/h (19 mph) again, if the
slope and pedal release conditions are met.You can depress the accelerator or brake pedal again at any time.
Off
► Press the button until its indicator lamp goes off; the indicator lamp on the instrument panel also goes off.

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.
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 increases the temperature of the coolant. The maximum towable load depends on the gradient and the exterior temperature. The cooling capacity of the fan does not increase with engine speed.► Reduce speed and lower the engine speed, so as to limit the heating-up.
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 of the brakes, the use of engine braking is recommended.
Side wind
Bear in mind the increased susceptibility to the wind that the vehicle will have.
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 a TOYOTA dealer as soon as possible.

selector in position P to allow the engine to be started.If position N is selected inadvertently while driving, allow the engine to return to idle, then select position D to accelerate.
WARNI NG
When the engine is running at idle with the brakes released, if position R, D or M is
selected, the vehicle moves even without the accelerator being pressed.Never leave children unsupervised inside the vehicle.As a safety measure, never leave the vehicle without taking your key or remote control with you, even for a short time.When carrying out maintenance with the engine running, apply the parking brake and select position P.
WARNI NG
With an automatic gearbox, never try to start the engine by pushing the vehicle.
Automatic operation
► Select position D for automatic
changing of the gears.The gearbox then operates in auto-adaptive mode, without any intervention on the part of the
driver. It continuously selects the most suitable gear according to the driving style, the road profile and the load in the vehicle.For maximum acceleration without touching the selector, press the accelerator fully down (kick-down). The gearbox changes down automatically or holds the gear selected until the maximum engine speed is reached.When braking, the gearbox changes down automatically to provide effective engine braking.If the accelerator pedal is sharply released, the gearbox will not shift to a higher gear for safety reasons.
WARNI NG
Never select position N while the vehicle is moving.Never select positions P or R unless the vehicle is completely stationary.
Temporary manual control
of gear changes
You can temporarily assume control of gear changing using the "+" et "-” steering-mounted controls. The gear change request will be executed if the engine speed permits. This function allows you to anticipate certain situations, such as overtaking another vehicle or approaching a bend in the road.
After a few seconds with no inputs via the control paddles, the gearbox reverts to automatic operation.
Creeping (moving without
using the accelerator)
This function facilitates manoeuvring of the vehicle at low speed (when parking, in traffic jams, etc.).When the engine is at idle, with the parking brake released and gear position D, M or R selected, the vehicle begins to creep forward as soon as you take your foot off the brake pedal (even without pressing the accelerator).
WARNI NG
As a safety precaution, never leave the vehicle with the engine running and the doors closed.
Manual operation
► With the selector in position D, press button M to enable 6-speed sequential gear changing.The indicator lamp for the button comes on.► Operate the "+" or "-" steering mounted controls. M appears and the engaged gears are shown in succession on the instrument panel.
Page 108 of 272

108
► You can revert to automatic operation at any time by pressing button M again.The indicator lamp for the button goes off.
NOTIC E
In manual mode, there is no need to release the accelerator pedal while changing gear.
NOTIC E
It is only possible to change from one gear to another if the vehicle speed and engine speed permit.
NOTIC E
If the engine speed is too low or too high, the selected gear flashes for a few seconds, then the gear actually engaged is shown.When the vehicle is stationary or moving very slowly, the gearbox automatically selects gear M1.
NOTIC E
To preserve the brakes while descending a steep incline, use engine braking to reduce
your speed (change down or select a lower gear).Keeping the brake pedal pressed continuously for long periods can overheat the brakes, with the risk of damaging the braking system or making it inoperative.Only use the brakes when necessary, to slow or stop the vehicle.
NOTIC E
Depending on the road configuration (e.g. mountainous road), manual operation may be preferable.Automatic operation may not always be suitable, and does not enable engine braking.
Invalid value during manual
operation
This symbol is displayed if a gear is not engaged correctly (gear selector between two positions).► Place the selector "correctly" at a position.
Stopping the vehicle
Before switching off the engine, select position P then apply the parking brake to immobilise the vehicle.
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 gear selector to position P; the audible signal stops and the message disappears.
WARNI NG
On a steep slope with a loaded vehicle, press the brake pedal, select position P, apply the parking brake then release the brake pedal.
WARNI NG
In all circumstances, ensure that the selector is in position P before leaving your vehicle.
Operating fault
When the ignition is on, a message appears in the instrument panel screen to indicate a
gearbox fault.In this case, the gearbox switches to back-up mode and is locked in 3rd gear. You may feel a substantial knock when changing from P to R
Page 130 of 272

130
Level 1 (orange): visual alert only, signalling that the vehicle in front is very close.The message "Vehicle close" is displayed.Level 2 (red): visual and audible alert, signalling that a collision is imminent.The message "Brake!" is displayed.Level 3: finally, in some cases, a haptic alert in the form of micro-braking can be given, confirming the risk of collision.
NOTIC E
Where the speed of your vehicle is too high approaching another vehicle, the first level of alert may not be displayed: the level 2 alert may be displayed directly.Important: the level 1 alert is never displayed for a stationary obstacle or when the "Close" trigger threshold has been selected.
Modifying the alert trigger threshold
This threshold determines how you wish to be warned of the presence of a moving or stationary vehicle in front of you, or a pedestrian present in your traffic lane.The current threshold can be modified via the vehicle configuration menu.You can select one of three pre-defined thresholds:– "Distant",
– "Normal",– "Close".The last threshold selected is memorised when the ignition is switched off.
Intelligent emergency
braking assistance
If the driver brakes, but not sufficiently to avoid a collision, this system will supplement the braking, within the limits of the laws of physics.This assistance will only be provided if you press the brake pedal.
Active Safety Brake
This function, also called automatic emergency braking, intervenes following the alerts if the
driver does not react quickly enough and does not operate the vehicle's brakes.It aims to reduce the speed of impact or avoid a collision where the driver fails to react.
Operation
The system operates under the following conditions:– The vehicle's speed does not exceed 60 km/h (37 mph) when a pedestrian is detected.– The vehicle's speed does not exceed 80 km/h (50 mph) when a stationary vehicle is detected.– The vehicle's speed is between 10 km/h and 85 km/h (6 mph and 53 mph) when a moving vehicle is detected.This warning lamp flashes (for about 10 seconds) once the function is acting on the vehicle's brakes.With an automatic gearbox, in the event of automatic emergency braking until the vehicle comes to a complete stop, keep the brake pedal pressed down to prevent the vehicle from starting off again.
With a manual gearbox, in the event of automatic emergency braking until the vehicle comes to a complete stop, the engine may stall.
NOTIC E
The driver can maintain control of the vehicle at any time by sharply turning the steering wheel and/or pressing the accelerator pedal.
