Eco-driving
Eco-driving
Eco-driving refers to a range of everyday practices that allow the motorist to optimise their fuel consumption and CO2emissions.
Optimise your use of the gearbox
With a manual gearbox, move off gently and change up promptly. While accelerating, change up early.With an automatic gearbox, favour automatic mode and avoid pressing the accelerator pedal heavily or suddenly.The gear efficiency indicator prompts you to engage the most suitable gear: whenever this indication is displayed on the instrument panel, follow it straight away.With an automatic gearbox, this indicator appears only in manual mode.
Drive smoothly
Maintain a safe distance between vehicles, use engine braking rather than the brake pedal and press the accelerator gradually. These attitudes
help to save fuel, reduce CO2 emissions and decrease general traffic noise.If the vehicle has the steering-mounted "CRUISE" control, use cruise control at speeds above 40 km/h (25 mph) when the traffic is flowing well.
Use electrical equipment wisely
Before moving off, if the passenger compartment is too warm, ventilate it by opening the windows and air vents before using the air conditioning.At speeds above 50 km/h (31 mph), close the windows and leave the air vents open.Consider using equipment that can help keep the temperature in the passenger compartment down (sunroof blind and window blinds, etc.).Unless automatically regulated, switch off the air conditioning as soon as the desired temperature has been reached.Switch off the demisting and defrosting functions, if they are not managed automatically.Switch off the heated seat as soon as possible.Switch off the headlamps and foglamps when the visibility conditions do not require their use.Avoid running the engine before moving off, particularly in winter; your vehicle will warm up much faster while driving.As a passenger, avoid connecting your multimedia devices (film, music, video game, etc.) to help reduce consumption of electrical
energy, and hence fuel.Disconnect all portable devices before leaving the vehicle.
Limit the causes of excess consumption
Spread loads throughout the vehicle; place the heaviest items in the boot, as close as possible to the rear seats.Limit the loads carried in the vehicle and minimise wind resistance (roof bars, roof rack,
bicycle carrier, trailer, etc.). Preferably, use a roof box.Remove roof bars and roof racks after use.At the end of winter, remove snow tyres and refit summer tyres.
Comply with servicing instructions
Check tyre pressures regularly, with the tyres cold, referring to the label in the door aperture on the driver's side.Carry out this check in particular:– before a long journey.– at each change of season.– after a long period out of use.Do not overlook the spare wheel and, where applicable, the tyres on your trailer or caravan.Have your vehicle serviced regularly (engine oil, oil filter, air filter, passenger compartment filter, etc.) and observe the schedule of operations in the manufacturer's service schedule.With a Diesel engine, if the SCR system is faulty, your vehicle will emit pollution. Visit a TOYOTA dealer or a qualified workshop as soon as
possible to restore your vehicle’s nitrogen oxide emissions to regulatory compliance.When filling the fuel tank, do not continue after the third nozzle cut-out, to avoid overflow.You will only see the fuel consumption of your new vehicle settle down to a consistent average after the first 3,000 kilometres (1,900 miles).

Hazard warning lamps


► Pressing the red button causes all the direction indicators to flash.They can operate with the ignition off.
Automatic operation of
hazard warning lamps
When braking in an emergency, depending on the rate of deceleration, the hazard warning lamps come on automatically. They switch off automatically when you next accelerate.It is also possible to switch them off by pressing the button.
Horn

► Press the central part of the steering wheel.
Electronic stability control
(ESC)
The electronic stability control programme includes the following systems:– Anti-lock braking system (ABS) and Electronic brake force distribution (EBFD).
– Emergency braking assistance (EBA).– Anti-slip regulation (ASR).– Dynamic stability control (DSC).– Trailer stability assist (TSA).
Anti-lock braking system
(ABS) and Electronic brake
force distribution (EBFD)
These systems enhance the vehicle’s stability and handling during braking, and enable greater control while cornering, particularly on poor or slippery road surfaces.ABS prevents wheel locking in the event of emergency braking.EBFD manages the braking pressure wheel by wheel.This warning lamp comes on fixed in the event of an ABS malfunction.The vehicle retains conventional braking. Drive carefully at a moderate speed.Contact a TOYOTA dealer or a qualified workshop as soon as possible.
This warning lamp, when lit together with the STOP and ABS warning lamps, accompanied by a message and an audible signal, indicates an EBFD malfunction.You must stop as soon as it is safe to do so.Contact a TOYOTA dealer or a qualified workshop.

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.

100
On leaving the flooded road, as soon as safety conditions allow, make several light brake applications to dry the brake discs and pads.If in doubt about the state of your vehicle, contact a TOYOTA dealer or a qualified workshop.
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.

NOTIC E
The adaptive cruise control deactivates automatically if the use of a “space-saver” type spare wheel is detected or in the event of a malfunction of the lateral brake lamps or trailer brake lamps (for approved trailers).
Memorising speeds
This function, used only for the speed limiter and programmable cruise control, lets you save speed settings that will subsequently be proposed for the purpose of configuring these two systems.You can memorise multiple speed settings for each of the two systems.By default, some speed settings are already memorised.
WARNI NG
As a safety measure, the driver must only change speed settings when stationary.
Changing a speed setting
In the Driving / Vehicle touch screen menu, select "Driving functions" then "Memorised speed settings".
"MEM" button


With this button, you can select a memorised speed setting to use with the speed limiter or the programmable cruise control.For more information on the Speed limiter or Programmable cruise control, refer to the corresponding section.
Active Safety Brake with
Collision Risk Alert and
Intelligent emergency
braking assistance
Refer to the General recommendations on the use of driving and manoeuvring aids.

This system allows:– the driver to be warned that their vehicle is at risk of collision with the vehicle in front,– a collision to be prevented, or its severity to be limited, by reducing the vehicle’s speed.This system is comprised of three functions:– Collision Risk Alert,– Intelligent emergency braking assistance,– Active Safety Brake (automatic emergency braking).

The vehicle has a camera located at the top of the windscreen.

134
WARNI NG
This system does not avoid the need for vigilance on the part of the driver.This system is designed to assist the driver and improve road safety.It is the driver's responsibility to continuously monitor the state of the traffic, observing the driving regulations.
NOTIC E
As soon as the system detects a potential obstacle, it prepares the braking circuit in case automatic braking is needed. This may cause a slight noise and a slight sensation of deceleration.
Operating conditions and
limits
The ESC system must not be faulty.
The DSC/ASR systems must not be deactivated.All passenger seat belts must be fastened.Driving at a steady speed on roads with few bends is required.In the following cases, deactivating the system via the vehicle's configuration menu is advised:– towing a trailer,– carrying long objects on roof bars or roof rack,– with snow chains fitted,
– before using an automatic car wash, with the engine running,– before placing the vehicle on a rolling road in a workshop,– towed vehicle, engine running,– Following an impact to the windscreen close to the detection camera.
NOTIC E
The system is automatically deactivated after the use of certain "space-saver" type spare wheels is detected (smaller diameter).The system is automatically deactivated after detection of a fault with the brake pedal switch or with at least two brake lamps.
WARNI NG
It is possible that warnings are not given, are given too late or seem unjustified.Consequently, always stay in control of your vehicle and be prepared to react at any time to avoid an accident.
WARNI NG
After an impact, the function automatically stops operating. Contact a TOYOTA dealer or a qualified workshop to have the system checked.
Collision Risk Alert
It warns the driver that their vehicle is at risk of collision with the vehicle in front or a pedestrian present in their traffic lane.
Operation
Depending on the degree of risk of collision detected by the system and the alert threshold chosen by the driver, several different levels of alert may be triggered and displayed in the instrument panel.They take account of the vehicle dynamics, the speeds of your vehicle and the one in front, the environmental conditions and the operation of the vehicle (cornering, actions on the pedals, etc.) to trigger the alert at the best moment.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.

While the direction indicators are on and for a few seconds after switching them off, the system considers that any change of trajectory is voluntary and no correction is triggered during this period.
WARNI NG
If the system detects that the driver is not holding the wheel firmly enough during an automatic correction of trajectory, it interrupts the correction. An alert is triggered to encourage the driver to take back control of the vehicle.
Driving situations and related alerts
The table below describes the alerts and messages displayed in different driving situations.These alerts are not displayed sequentially.

(orange)/(green)"Hold the wheel"
– If, while correcting the trajectory, the system detects that the driver has not held the steering wheel for a few seconds, it interrupts the correction and returns control to the driver.– If, while correcting the trajectory, the system determines that the correction will not be enough and that a solid line will be crossed (orange line): the driver is warned that they must provide additional trajectory adjustment.The duration of audible warnings will increase if multiple corrections are performed in quick succession. The warning will become continuous, persisting until the driver responds.This message may also be displayed if you have your hands on the steering wheel.
Operating limits
The system goes into standby automatically in the following cases:– ESC deactivated or operation triggered,
– speed below 65 km/h (40 mph) or greater than 180 km/h (112 mph),– electrical connection of a trailer,– use of the "space-saver" spare wheel detected (as detection is not immediate, deactivation of the system is recommended),
– dynamic driving style detected, pressure on the brake or accelerator pedal,– driving where there are no lane markings,– activation of the direction indicators,– crossing the inside line on a bend,– driving in a tight corner,

– flashing, after a delay of about one second, when overtaking a vehicle slowly, and when the direction indicator is used.
Activation / Deactivation
Activation or deactivation is set via the vehicle configuration menu.
NOTIC E
The system state remains in memory when the ignition is switched off.
NOTIC E
The system is automatically deactivated when towing with a towbar approved by TOYOTA.
Conditions for operation
– All vehicles are moving in the same direction and in adjacent lanes.– The speed of your vehicle must be between 12 and 140 km/h (7 and 87 mph).– When overtaking a vehicle, the speed difference is less than 10 km/h (6 mph).– When overtaken by a vehicle, the speed difference is less than 25 km/h (16 mph).– Traffic is flowing normally.– Overtaking a vehicle over a certain period of time and the vehicle being overtaken remains in the blind spot.
– You are driving on a straight or slightly curved road.– Your vehicle is not pulling a trailer, a caravan, etc.
Operating limits


No alert is triggered in the following conditions:– In the presence of non-moving objects (parked vehicles, barriers, street lamps, road signs, etc.).– Oncoming traffic.– Driving on a winding road or a sharp corner.– When overtaking or being overtaken by a very long vehicle (lorry, bus, etc.) that is detected in the rear blind spot but is also present in the driver’s front field of vision.– When overtaking quickly.– In very heavy traffic: vehicles detected in front and behind are confused with a lorry or a stationary object.

NOTIC E
The rear parking sensors system will be deactivated automatically if a trailer or bicycle carrier is connected to a towing device installed in accordance with the manufacturer's recommendations.In this case, the outline of a trailer is displayed at the rear of the image of the vehicle.
The parking sensors are deactivated while the Park Assist function is measuring a space.For more information on the Park Assist, refer to the corresponding section.
Operating limits
If the boot is heavily loaded, the vehicle may tilt, affecting distance measurements.
Malfunction
In the event of a malfunction when changing into reverse, this warning lamp comes on on the instrument panel, accompanied
by an onscreen message and an audible signal (short beep).Contact a TOYOTA dealer or a qualified workshop to have the system checked.
Top Rear Vision
Refer to the General recommendations on the use of driving and manoeuvring aids.

As soon as reverse gear is engaged with the engine running, this system displays views of your vehicle’s close surroundings on the touch screen using a camera located at the rear of the vehicle.


The screen is divided into two parts with a contextual view and a view from above the vehicle in its close surroundings.
The parking sensors supplement the information on the view from above the vehicle.Various contextual views may be displayed:– Standard view.– 180° view.– Zoom view.AUTO mode is activated by default.In this mode, the system chooses to display the best view (standard or zoom).You can change the type of view at any time during a manoeuvre.The state of the function is not saved when the ignition is switched off.
Principle of operation

Using the rear camera, the vehicle's close surroundings are recorded during manoeuvres at low speed.An image from above your vehicle in its close surroundings is reconstructed (represented
between the brackets) in real time and as the manoeuvre progresses.It facilitates the alignment of your vehicle when parking and allows obstacles close to the vehicle
