WARNI NG
When the engine is running at idle with the brakes released, if position R, D or M is selected, the vehicle moves even without the accelerator being pressed.Never leave children inside the vehicle unsupervised.As a safety measure, never leave the vehicle without taking your key or remote control with you, even for a short time.When carrying out maintenance with the engine running, apply the parking brake and select position P.
WARNI NG
With an automatic gearbox, never try to start the engine by pushing the vehicle.
Automatic operation
► Select position D for automatic changing of the gears.The gearbox then operates in auto-adaptive mode, without any intervention on the part of the driver. It continuously selects the most suitable gear according to the driving style, the road profile and the load in the vehicle.For maximum acceleration without touching the selector, press the accelerator fully down (kick-down).
The gearbox changes down automatically or holds the gear selected until the maximum engine speed is reached.When braking, the gearbox changes down automatically to provide effective engine braking.If the accelerator pedal is sharply released, the gearbox will not shift to a higher gear for safety reasons.
WARNI NG
Never select position N while the vehicle is moving.Never select positions P or R unless the vehicle is completely stationary.
Temporary manual control
of gear changes
You can temporarily assume control of gear changing using the "+" et "-” steering-mounted controls. The gear change request will be executed if the engine speed permits. This function allows you to anticipate certain situations, such as overtaking another vehicle or approaching a bend in the road. After a few seconds with no inputs via the control paddles, the gearbox reverts to automatic operation.
Creeping (moving without
using the accelerator)
This function facilitates manoeuvring of the vehicle at low speed (when parking, in traffic jams, etc.).When the engine is at idle, with the parking brake released and gear position D, M or R selected, the vehicle begins to creep forward as soon as you take your foot off the brake pedal (even without pressing the accelerator).
WARNI NG
As a safety precaution, never leave the vehicle with the engine running and the doors closed.
Manual operation
► With the selector in position D, press button M to enable 6- or 8-speed sequential gear changing.The indicator lamp for the button comes on.► Operate the "+" or "-" steering mounted controls. M appears and the engaged gears are shown in succession on the instrument panel.► You can revert to automatic operation at any time by pressing button M again.The indicator lamp for the button goes off.

NOTIC E
In manual mode, there is no need to release the accelerator pedal while changing gear.
NOTIC E
It is only possible to change from one gear to another if the vehicle speed and engine
speed permit.
NOTIC E
If the engine speed is too low or too high, the selected gear flashes for a few seconds, then the gear actually engaged is shown.When the vehicle is stationary or moving very slowly, the gearbox automatically selects gear M1.
NOTIC E
To preserve the brakes while descending a steep incline, use engine braking to reduce your speed (change down or select a lower gear).Keeping the brake pedal pressed continuously for long periods can overheat the brakes, with the risk of damaging the braking system or making it inoperative.Only use the brakes when necessary, to slow or stop the vehicle.
NOTIC E
Depending on the road configuration (e.g. mountainous road), manual operation may be preferable.Automatic operation may not always be suitable, and does not enable engine braking.
Invalid value during manual
operation
This symbol is displayed if a gear is not engaged correctly (gear selector between two positions).► Place the selector "correctly" at a position.
Switching off the vehicle
Before switching off the engine, select position P then apply the parking brake to immobilise
the vehicle, unless this is set to automatic mode (with electric parking brake).Check that mode P has been engaged and that the electric parking brake has been applied automatically; if not, apply it manually.The corresponding indicator lamps in the selector and the electric parking brake control lever must be on, as well as those on the instrument panel.
NOTIC E
A point of resistance 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, an audible signal sounds and a message appears.► Return the drive selector to position P; the audible signal stops and the message disappears.
WARNI NG
When positioned on a steep slope with a loaded vehicle, depress the brake pedal, select position P, apply the parking brake, unless it is set to automatic mode (with
electric parking brake), then release the brake pedal.

For example, to change from P to R (with your foot on the brake pedal), either push forwards twice without passing the point of resistance or push just once, passing the point of resistance.
Regenerative braking
With the Brake function and when decelerating
The Brake function emulates engine braking, slowing the vehicle with no need to depress the brake pedal. The vehicle slows more quickly when the driver releases the accelerator pedal.The energy recovered when the accelerator pedal is released is then used to partially recharge the traction battery, thereby increasing the vehicle's driving range.
WARNI NG
The resulting deceleration of the vehicle does not cause the brake lamps to come on.
► From mode D, press button B to activate/deactivate the function (the button lights up when the function is activated).D on the instrument panel is replaced with B.The system status is saved when the ignition is switched off.
WARNI NG
In some situations (e.g. battery full, extreme temperatures), the amount of regenerative braking may be temporarily limited, resulting in less deceleration.The driver must remain alert to traffic conditions and must always be ready to use the brake pedal.
With the brake pedal
When the brake pedal is depressed, the intelligent braking system automatically recovers some of the energy and uses it to recharge the traction battery.This energy recovery also reduces use of the brake pads, thereby limiting their wear.
NOTIC E
The driver may experience a different sensation when depressing the brake pedal compared to a vehicle without regenerative braking.
Driving modes (Electric)
Driving modes are selected using the following control:


Pressing the control displays the modes on the instrument panel and, depending on version, on the screen with TOYOTA Pro Touch with navigation system.You cannot select a mode if the READY lamp is off.When the message disappears, the selected mode is activated and remains indicated on the
instrument panel (except Normal mode).Each time the ignition is switched on, Normal mode is selected by default.
Normal
This optimises the driving range and dynamic performance.To obtain maximum torque and power, depress the accelerator pedal fully.

166
Eco
Optimises energy consumption, by reducing the output of the heating and air conditioning (without actually deactivating them) and limiting both motor torque and power.
Power
Provides equivalent vehicle performance when fully laden (GVW) to when the vehicle is in Normal mode and when unladen.
Stop & Start
The Stop & Start function puts the engine temporarily into standby - STOP mode - during phases when the vehicle is stopped (red lights, queues, etc.). The engine restarts automatically - START mode - as soon as the driver wishes to move off again.Primarily designed for urban use, the function is intended to reduce fuel consumption and exhaust emissions as well as the noise level when stationary.
The function does not affect the functionalities of the vehicle, in particular the braking.
WARNI NG
Driving on flooded roadsBefore entering into a flooded area, it is strongly recommended that you deactivate the Stop & Start system.For more information on Driving recommendations, particularly on flooded roads, refer to the corresponding section.

► If it is not possible to carry out this check immediately, drive carefully at reduced speed.► In the event of a puncture, use the temporary puncture repair kit or the spare wheel (depending on equipment).
WARNI NG
Driving too slowly may not ensure optimum monitoring.
The alert is not immediately triggered in the event of a sudden loss of pressure or tyre blow-out. This is because analysis of the values read by the wheel's speed sensors can take several minutes.The alert may be delayed at speeds below 25 mph (40 km/h), or when adopting a sporty driving mode.
NOTIC E
The alert is kept active until the system is reinitialised.
Reinitialisation
Reinitialise the system after adjusting one or more tyre pressures and after changing one or more wheels.
WARNI NG
Before reinitialising the system, make sure that the pressures of the four tyres are correct for the conditions of use of the vehicle and
