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.

Advice
In the event of an impact
Depending on the nature and seriousness of the impact, the pretensioning device may be deployed before and independently of the airbags. 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 belts system checked, and if necessary replaced, by an authorized Toyota dealer or repairer, or another duly qualified and equipped professional.
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 bear any trace of cuts or fraying,- not be converted or modified to avoid affecting its performance.In 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 your seat belts checked regularly by an authorized Toyota dealer or repairer, or another duly qualified and equipped professional, 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.After folding or moving a seat or rear bench seat, ensure that the seat belt is positioned and reeled in correctly.
Recommendations for children
Use a suitable child seat if the passenger is less than 12 years old or shorter than one and a half metres.Never use the same seat belt to secure more than one person.Never allow a child to travel on your lap.For more information on Child seats, refer to the corresponding section.
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 fulfill their role fully.The seat belts are fitted with an inertia reel permitting automatic adjustment of the length of the strap to your size. The seat belt is stowed automatically when not in use.Before and after use, ensure that the seat belt is reeled in correctly.The 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.The inertia reels are fitted with an automatic locking device which comes into operation in the event of a collision, emergency braking or if the vehicle rolls over. You can release the device by pulling the strap firmly and then releasing it so that it reels in slightly.

Airbags
System designed to contribute towards improving the safety of the occupants (with the exception of the centre seat in rows 2 and 3, if so equipped) in the event of violent collisions. The airbags supplement the action of the seat belts fitted with force limiters.If a collision occurs, the electronic detectors record and analyse the front and side impacts sustained in the impact detection zones:- in the case of a serious impact, the airbags are deployed instantly and contribute towards better protection of the occupants of the vehicle (with the exception of the centre seat in rows 2 and 3, if so equipped); immediately after the impact, the airbags deflate rapidly so that they do not hinder visibility or the exit of the occupants,- in the case of a minor or rear impact or in certain roll-over conditions, the airbags may not be deployed; the seat belt
alone contributes towards ensuring your protection in these situations.
The airbags do not operate when the ignition is switched off.
This equipment will only deploy once. If a second impact occurs (during the same or a subsequent accident), the airbag will not be deployed again.
Deployment of one or more of the airbags is accompanied by a slight emission of smoke and a noise, due to the activation of the pyrotechnic cartridge incorporated in the system.This smoke is not harmful, but sensitive individuals may experience slight irritation.The noise of detonation related to the deployment of one or more airbags may result in a slight loss of hearing for a short time.
Impact detection zones
A. Front impact zone.
B. Side impact zone.

Driving recommendations
Obser ve the driving regulations and remain vigilant whatever the traffic conditions.Pay close attention to the traffic and keep your hands on the wheel so that you are ready to react at any time to any eventuality.On a long journey, a break every two hours is strongly recommended.In difficult weather, drive smoothly, anticipate the need to brake and increase the distance from other vehicles.
Never drive with the parking brake applied - Risk of overheating and damage to the braking system!Risk of fire!As the exhaust system of your vehicle is very hot, even several minutes after
switching off the engine, do not park or run the engine over areas where inflammable substances and materials are present: grass, leaves, etc.
Never leave a vehicle unsuper vised with the engine running. If you have to leave your vehicle with the engine running, apply the parking brake and put the gearbox into neutral or position N or P, depending on the type of gearbox.
Driving on flooded roads
We strongly advise against driving on flooded roads, as this could cause serious damage to the engine or gearbox, as well as to the electrical systems of your vehicle.
Important!If you are obliged to drive through water:
- check that the depth of water does not exceed 15 cm, taking account of waves that might be generated by other users,- deactivate the Stop & Start system,- drive as slowly as possible without stalling. In all cases, do not exceed 6 mph (10 km/h),- do not stop and do not switch off the engine.On leaving the flooded road, as soon as circumstances allow, make several light brake applications to dry the brake discs and pads.If in doubt on the state of your vehicle, contact an authorized Toyota dealer or repairer, or another duly qualified and equipped professional.

To assure the durability of your vehicle and your safety, remember that certain precautions, described hereafter, should be taken when driving your vehicle:
Load the vehicle correctly
With a load carried, the vehicle must remain
within the maximum authorised weight, the Gross Vehicle Weight.To avoid upsetting the balance of the vehicle, the load should be centred and the heaviest
part placed on the floor in front of the rear wheels.
Manoeuve cautiously, at
low speed
The dimensions of your vehicle differ from those of a light vehicle, in width, in height, as well as in length, and some obstacles will be more difficult to notice.Manoeuvre slowly.Before turning, check that there are no obstacles at mid-height along the sides.Before reversing, check that there are no obstacles, particularly at high level behind the vehicle.Be aware of the external dimensions, if ladders are fitted.
It is inadvisable to place heavy loads on a roof rack.Loading the roof rack also requires you not to exceed the maximum load on the roof rack anchorages. Obser ve the maximum authorised weight, available from Toyota dealers.Loads must be securely lashed down.Cargo that is not properly secured inside the vehicle can adversely affect the handling of the vehicle and create the risk of accident.If your vehicle is fitted with a drop-side back, the height and width of the load must remain within the overall dimensions of the vehicle.
Drive the vehicle in a
prudent and efficient way
Take corners gently.Anticipate the need to brake as the stopping distance is increased, particularly on wet or icy roads.Be aware of the effect of side winds on the vehicle.Effective eco-driving saves fuel; accelerate progressively, anticipate the need to slow down and adapt your speed to suit the situation.Indicate changes of direction well in advance so that you are seen by other road users.
Take care
The tyres must be inflated to at least the pressures indicated on the label, even over-inflated by 0.2 to 0.3 bar for long journeys.After ensuring that no obstacle might prevent closing, guide the movement of the door at the right speed until it closes.
