When the ignition is on, a message appears in the instrument panel screen to indicate a gearbox fault.
Operating 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 and from N to R. This will not cause any damage to the gearbox.Do not exceed 60 mph (100 km/h), local speed restrictions permitting.Have it checked by an authorized Toyota dealer or repairer, or another duly qualified and equipped professional.
You risk damaging the gearbox:- if you press the accelerator and brake pedals at the same time (braking or acceleration must be done only with the right foot),- if you force the selector from position P to another position when the battery is flat.
To reduce fuel consumption when stationary for long periods with the engine running (traffic jam...), position the selector at N and apply the parking brake.
Stopping the vehicle
A stiff point 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, there is an audible signal and a message appears.F Return the selector to position P; the audible signal stops and the message disappears.
Before switching off the engine, select position P then apply the parking brake to immobilise the vehicle.
In all circumstances, ensure that the selector is in position P before leaving your vehicle.
On a steep slope with a loaded vehicle, press the brake pedal, select position P, apply the parking brake then release the brake pedal.

With the ignition on, the flashing of A or AUTO, accompanied by an audible signal and a message, indicates a malfunction of the gearbox.
Operating fault
Have it checked by an authorized Toyota dealer or repairer, or another duly qualified and equipped professional.
Stopping the vehicle
Before switching off the engine, you can:- move to position N to engage neutral,or- leave the gear engaged; in this case, it will not be possible to move the vehicle.In both cases, you must apply the parking brake to immobilise the vehicle.
At low speed, if reverse gear is requested, the N indicator flashes and the gearbox goes into neutral automatically. To engage reverse, move the selector to position N, then position R.
When immobilising the vehicle, with the engine running, you must move the selector to neutral N.Before doing anything under the bonnet ensure that the selector is in neutral N and that the parking brake is applied.
Always press the brake pedal when starting the engine.In all parking situations, you must apply the parking brake to immobilise the vehicle.
To engage reverse gear R, the vehicle must be immobilised with your foot on the brake pedal.

In the event of a fault with the adaptive cruise control, you are alerted by an audible signal and display of the message message "Driving aid functions fault".Have the system checked by an authorized Toyota dealer or repairer, or another duly qualified and equipped professional.
Operating faultThe adaptive cruise control operates by day and at night, in fog or moderate rainfall.
When the cruise control is working, take care if making a maintained press on one of the cruise control programmed speed modification buttons: this can lead to a very quick change in the speed of your vehicle.Do not use the adaptive cruise control on slippery sur faces or in heavy traffic.
When descending a steep hill, the cruise control may not be able to prevent the vehicle from exceeding the programmed speed.When ascending a steep hill or when towing, it might not be possible to achieve or maintain the programmed speed.
The use of mats not approved by Toyota may inter fere with the operation of the adaptive cruise control.
To avoid any risk of jamming the pedals:- ensure that mats are secured c o r r e c t l y,- never fit one mat on top of another.It is recommended that you always keep your feet close to the pedals.
If the difference between the programmed speed setting and the speed of the vehicle in front is too great, the speed cannot be adjusted: the cruise control is automatically deactivated.
The system does not act on the braking system, but works only with engine braking.The regulation range is limited: there will no longer be any adjustment of speed if the difference between the programmed speed setting and the speed of the vehicle in front becomes too high.
The adaptive cruise control cannot in any circumstances replace the obser vation of speed limits, nor the need for the vigilance on the part of the driver.

The Autonomous emergency braking system does not operate:- if the front bumper is damaged,- if the system has been triggered in the last 10 seconds,- if the electronic stability control system has a fault.
Limits of operation
It is recommended that the system be deactivated in the vehicle configuration menu in the following cases:- if the windscreen has impact damage close to the detection camera,- when towing a trailer or caravan,- when a load on the roof rack extends beyond the windscreen (for example: long objects),- when the vehicle is being towed, with the engine running,- when a "space-saver" type spare wheel is fitted (if your vehicle has one),- when on a rolling road for a ser vice in a workshop,- when in an automatic car wash,- if the brake lamps are not working.
Following an impact, the system is automatically disabled; contact an authorized Toyota dealer or repairer, or another duly qualified and equipped professional to have the system checked.
Forward collision warning
Depending on the degree of risk of collision detected by the system and the alert threshold chosen, different levels of alert can be triggered and displayed in the instrument panel or the head-up display.
This level of alert is based on the inter-vehicle time between your vehicle and the vehicle ahead.
Level 1: visual alert only, warning you that the vehicle ahead is very close.A message on your vigilance is displayed as you close on the vehicle ahead.
This information also appears in the head-up display.For more information on the Head-up display, refer to the corresponding section.

It is still possible to use a fuel can to fill the tank but this must be done slowly.In order to ensure a good flow of fuel, do not place the nozzle of the fuel can in direct contact with the flap of the misfuel prevention device.
Travelling abroad
As Diesel fuel pump nozzles may be different in other countries, the presence of the misfuel prevention device may make refuelling impossible.Before travelling abroad, we recommend that you check with the Toyota dealer network, whether your vehicle is suitable for the fuel pumps in the country in which you want to travel.
Fuel used for Diesel
engines
The Diesel engines are compatible with biofuels that conform to current and future European standards and and can be obtained from filling stations:
The use of B20 or B30 fuel meeting standard EN16709 is possible in your Diesel engine. However, this use, even occasional, requires strict application of the special servicing conditions referred to as "Arduous conditions".For more information, contact an authorized Toyota dealer or repairer, or another duly qualified and equipped professional.
The use of any other type of (bio)fuel (vegetable or animal oils, pure or diluted, domestic fuel...) is strictly prohibited (risk of damage to the engine and fuel system).
The only Diesel additives authorised for
use are those that meet the B715000 standard.
- Diesel fuel that meets standard EN590 mixed with a biofuel that meets standard EN14214 (possibly containing up to 7 % Fatty Acid Methyl Ester),
- Diesel fuel that meets standard EN16734 mixed with a biofuel that meets standard EN14214 (possibly containing up to 10 % Fatty Acid Methyl Ester),
- Paraffinic Diesel fuel that meets standard EN15940 mixed with a biofuel that meets standard EN14214 (possibly containing up to 7 % Fatty Acid Methyl Ester).

Checking levels
Take care when working under the bonnet, as certain areas of the engine may be extremely hot (risk of burns) and the cooling fan could start at any time (even with the ignition off).
Engine oil level
The check is carried out either when the ignition is switched on using the oil level indicator in the instrument panel for vehicles so equipped, or using the dipstick.
Checking using the dipstick
The location of the dipstick is shown in the corresponding underbonnet layout view.F Take the dipstick by its coloured grip and remove it completely.F Wipe the end of the dipstick using a clean non-fluffy cloth.F Refit the dipstick and push fully down, then pull it out again to make the visual check: the correct level is between the marks A and B.
Check all of these levels regularly, in line with the manufacturer's ser vice schedule. Top them up if necessary, unless other wise indicated.If a level drops significantly, have the corresponding system checked by an authorized Toyota dealer or repairer, or another duly qualified and equipped professional.
A = MA X
To ensure that the reading is correct, your vehicle must be parked on a level sur face with the engine having been off for more than 30 minutes.
It is normal to top-up the oil level between two ser vices (or oil changes). Toyota recommends that you check the level, and top-up if necessary, every 3 000 miles (5 000 kms).
B = MIN
If you find that the level is above the A mark or below the B mark, do not star t the engine.- If the level is above the MAX mark (risk of damage to the engine), contact an authorized Toyota dealer or repairer, or another duly qualified and equipped professional.- If the level is below the MIN mark, you must top-up the engine oil.
