Automatic headlamp dipping
System which automatically changes between dipped and main beam according to the ambient light level and the driving conditions, using a camera located at the top of the windscreen.
Activation / deactivation
F Put the lighting control stalk ring in the "AUTO" or dipped/main beam position.
This automatic headlamp dipping system is a driving aid.The driver remains responsible for the vehicle's lighting and for adapting its settings to the levels of brightness and visibility and the traffic conditions.
The system will be operational as soon as you have exceeded 15 mph (25 km/h).If the speed drops below 9 mph (15 km/h), the system no longer operates.
F Flash the headlamps (going beyond the stiff point) to activate the function.
F Flashing the headlamps again pauses the function
and the lighting system changes to "automatic illumination of headlamps".
Pause
The driver can intervene at any time if the situation requires a change in the state of the headlamps.
The driver can intervene at any time if the circumstances dictate by pulling on the lighting control stalk to switch between main and dipped beam.
Flashing the headlamps does not deactivate the system.The state of the system stays in memory when the ignition is switched off.

In the Driving menu, activate/deactivate "Automatic headlamp dip".
The system may suffer interference or not work correctly:- under conditions of poor visibility (for example, snowfall, heavy rain or thick fog, ...),- if the windscreen is dirty, misted or obscured (by a sticker, ...) in front of the camera,- if the vehicle is facing highly
reflective signs.If the fog is too dense, the system is automatically deactivated.
The system is not able to detect:- road users that do not have their own lighting, such as pedestrians,- road users whose lighting is obscured, such as vehicles running behind a safety barrier (on a motorway, for example),- road users at the top or bottom of a steep slope, on twisty roads, on crossroads.With the touch screen

Automatic rain sensitive windscreen wipers
Switching on
Briefly push the control stalk downwards.A wiping cycle confirms that the instruction has been accepted.This warning lamp comes on in the instrument panel and a message is displayed.
Briefly push the control stalk downwards again, or place the control stalk in another position (Int, 1 or 2).This warning lamp goes off in the instrument panel and a message is displayed.
Switching off
The automatic rain sensitive windscreen wipers must be reactivated by pushing the control stalk downwards, if the ignition has been off for more than one minute.
The windscreen wipers operate automatically, without any action on the part of the driver, if rain is detected (sensor behind the rear view mirror), adapting their speed to the intensity of the rainfall.
Do not cover the rain sensor, linked with the sunshine sensor and located in the top of the windscreen behind the rear view
m i r r o r.Switch off the automatic rain sensitive wipers when using an automatic car wash.In winter, it is advisable to wait until the windscreen is completely clear of ice before activating the automatic rain sensitive wipers.
Operating fault
If a fault occurs with the automatic rain sensitive wipers, the wipers will operate in intermittent mode.Have it checked by an authorized Toyota dealer or repairer, or another duly qualified and
equipped professional.

Activation / Deactivation
Activation or deactivation of the function is done in the vehicle configuration menu.
F Pull the windscreen wiper stalk towards you. The screenwash then the wipers operate for a fixed period.The headlamp wash is only activated if the dipped headlamps are on and the vehicle is moving.With daytime running lamps, to activate the headlamp wash, position the lighting stalk in
the dipped beam position.
Windscreen and headlamp
wash
On vehicles fitted with automatic air conditioning, any action on the windscreen wash control results in temporary closing of the air intake to avoid odours inside the passenger compartment.
Screenwash/headlamp wash level low
In the case of vehicles fitted with headlamp washers, when the fluid reservoir low level is reached this warning lamp comes on in the instrument panel, accompanied by an audible signal and a message.
The warning lamp comes on when the ignition is switched on, or every time the stalk is operated, until the reservoir is refilled.Next time you stop, refill the screenwash / headlamp wash reservoir.

Heated windscreen and
washer jets*This function heats the windscreen and washer jets under cold conditions.
In area 1, the heating frees the wiper blades when they are stuck by snow or ice.In area 2, the heating improves visibility by
avoiding the accumulation of snow when the wipers are operating.
Switching on
F With the engine running, press this button; its indicator lamp comes on.The period of operation depends on the ambient temperature.Pressing this button again switches the function off; its indicator lamp goes off.
Special position of the
windscreen wipers
This position permits release of the windscreen wiper blades.It is used for cleaning or replacement of the wiper blades. It can also be useful, in winter, to release the wiper blades from the windscreen.
To maintain the effectiveness of the wiper blades, it is advisable to:- handle them with care,- clean them regularly using soapy water,- avoid using them to retain cardboard on the windscreen,- replace them at the first signs of w e a r.
F Any action on the wiper stalk within one minute after switching off the ignition places the wiper blades vertically on the screen.F To park the wiper blades again, switch on the ignition and operate the wiper stalk.

Electronic stability control (ESC) incorporating the following systems:- anti-lock braking system (ABS) and electronic brake force distribution (EBFD),- emergency braking assistance (EBA),- wheel anti-slip regulation (ASR) or traction control,- dynamic stability control (DSC).
Electronic stability control (ESC)
Definitions
Anti-lock braking system (ABS) and electronic brake force distribution (EBFD)
This system improves the stability and manoeuvrability of your vehicle when braking and contributes towards improved control on corners, in particular on poor or slippery road surfaces.The ABS prevents wheel lock in the event of emergency braking.The EBFD manages the braking pressure wheel by wheel.
Emergency braking assistance (EBA) / Brake assist
In an emergency, this system enables you to reach the optimum braking pressure more quickly and therefore reduce the stopping distance.It is triggered according 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 the effectiveness of the braking.
Anti-slip regulation (ASR) / Traction Control (TRC)
The ASR system (also known as Traction Control) optimises traction in order to limit wheel slip by acting on the brakes of the driving wheels and on the engine. It also improves the directional stability of the vehicle on acceleration.
Dynamic stability control (DSC) / Vehicle Stability Control (VSC)
If there is a difference between the path followed by the vehicle and that required by the driver, the DSC monitors each wheel and automatically acts on the brake of one or more
wheels and on the engine to return the vehicle to the required path, within the limits of the laws of physics.

Anti-lock braking system
(ABS) and electronic brake
force distribution (EBFD)
In emergency braking, press ver y firmly and maintain this pressure.
When changing wheels (tyres and rims), ensure that these are approved for your vehicle.Normal operation of the ABS may make itself felt by slight vibrations of the brake pedal.
The fixed illumination of this warning lamp indicates that there is a fault with the ABS.The vehicle retains conventional braking. Drive carefully at moderate speed.
When this warning lamp comes on, coupled with the STOP and ABS warning lamps, accompanied by an audible signal and a message, it indicates that there is a fault with the electronic brake force distribution (EBFD).You must stop as soon as it is safe to do so.In both cases, have the system checked by an authorized Toyota dealer or repairer, or another duly qualified and equipped professional as soon as possible.
Intelligent traction control
If fitted to your vehicle, it has a system to help driving on snow: intelligent traction control.This system detects situations of difficult sur face adhesion that could make it difficult to move off or make progress on deep fresh snow or compacted snow.In these situations, intelligent traction control limits the amount of wheel slip to provide the best traction and trajectory control for your vehicle.
The use of snow tyres is strongly recommended on sur faces offering low levels of grip.
