Heating and Ventilation
Advice
NOTIC E
Using the ventilation and air conditioning system► To ensure that air is distributed evenly,
keep the external air intake grilles at the base of the windscreen, the nozzles, the vents, the air outlets and the air extractor in the boot free from obstructions.► Do not cover the sunshine sensor located on the dashboard; this sensor is used to regulate the automatic air conditioning system.► Operate the air conditioning system for at least 5 to 10 minutes once or twice a month to keep it in perfect working order.► If the system does not produce cold air, switch it off and contact a TOYOTA dealer or a qualified workshop.When towing the maximum load on a steep gradient in high temperatures, switching off the air conditioning increases the available engine power, enhancing the towing capacity.
WARNI NG
Avoid driving for too long with the ventilation off or with prolonged operation of interior air
recirculation. Risk of misting and deterioration of the air quality!
If the interior temperature is very high after the vehicle has stood for a long time in the sunshine, air the passenger compartment for a few moments.Put the air flow control at a setting high
enough to quickly change the air in the passenger compartment.
NOTIC E
Condensation created by the air conditioning results in a discharge of water underneath the vehicle. This is perfectly normal.
NOTIC E
Servicing the ventilation and air conditioning system► Ensure that the passenger compartment filter is in good condition and have the filter elements replaced regularly.We recommend using a composite passenger compartment filter. Thanks to its special active additive, this type of filter helps to purify the air breathed by the occupants and keep the passenger compartment clean (by reducing
allergic symptoms, unpleasant odours and greasy deposits).► To ensure correct operation of the air conditioning system, have it checked according to the recommendations in the Maintenance and Warranty Guide.
NOTIC E
Stop & StartThe heating and air conditioning systems only operate when the engine is running.Temporarily deactivate the Stop & Start system to maintain a comfortable temperature in the passenger compartment.For more information on the Stop & Start, refer to the corresponding section.

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.

The driver must ensure that passengers use the seat belts correctly and that they are all fastened before setting off.Wherever you are seated in the vehicle, always fasten your seat belt, even for short journeys.
Do not interchange the seat belt buckles, as they will not fulfil their role fully.Before and after use, ensure that the seat belt is reeled in correctly.After folding or moving a seat or rear bench seat, ensure that the seat belt is positioned and reeled in correctly.
WARNI NG
InstallationThe lower part of the strap must be positioned as low as possible on the pelvis.The upper part must be positioned in the hollow of the shoulder.In order to be effective, a seat belt must:– be tightened as close to the body as possible,– be pulled in front of you with a smooth
movement, checking that it does not twist,– be used to restrain only one person,
– not show any signs of cuts or fraying,– not be converted or modified in order not to affect its performance.

Recommendations for childrenUse a suitable child seat if the passenger is less than 12 years old or shorter than one and a half metres (4 ft 11").
Never use the same seat belt to secure more than one child.Never carry a child on your lap.For more information on Child seats, refer to the corresponding section.
WARNI NG
MaintenanceIn accordance with current safety regulations, for all repairs on your vehicle's seat belts, go to a qualified workshop with the skills and equipment needed, which a TOYOTA dealer is able to provide.Have the seat belts checked regularly by a TOYOTA dealer or a qualified workshop, particularly if the straps show signs of damage.
Clean the seat belt straps with soapy water or a textile cleaning product, sold by TOYOTA dealers.
WARNI NG
In the event of an impactDepending on the nature and seriousness of impacts, the pyrotechnic pretensioner device may trigger before and independently of airbag deployment. Deployment of the pretensioners is accompanied by a slight discharge of harmless smoke and a noise, due to the activation of the pyrotechnic cartridge incorporated in the system.In all cases, the airbag warning lamp comes on.Following an impact, have the seat belt system checked, and if necessary replaced, by a TOYOTA dealer or a qualified workshop.
Airbags
System designed to contribute towards improving the safety of the occupants (with the exception of the centre seat in row 2) in the
event of violent collisions.The airbags supplement the action of the force-limiting seat belts.If a collision occurs, the electronic detectors record and analyse the front and side impacts sustained in the impact detection zones:– in the event of a serious impact, the airbags are deployed instantly and contribute towards better protection of the occupants (with the exception of the centre seat in row 2);
