Malfunction
In the event of a malfunction, this warning lamp comes on on the instrument panel, accompanied by the display of a message and an audible signal.
Have it checked by any authorized Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or any reliable repairer.
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 provided by any authorized Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or any reliable repairer.
In order to ensure that these systems remain effective in wintry conditions, the use of snow or all-season tyres is recommended. All four wheels must be fitted with tyres approved for your vehicle.All tyre specifications are listed on the tyre/paint label. For more information on Identification markings, refer to the corresponding section.

11 4
Intelligent traction control
Depending on version, the vehicle has a system to help with driving on snow: intelligent traction control.This system detects situations of poor surface grip that could make it difficult to move off or make progress on deep fresh snow or compacted snow.In these situations, the system limits the amount of wheel spin to provide the best traction and trajectory control for the vehicle.
NOTIC E
The use of snow tyres is strongly recommended on surfaces offering low levels of grip.
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 (VSC) must not have any faults.The vehicle speed must be between 37 and 99 mph (60 and 160 km/h).If the system detects that the trailer is snaking, it applies the brakes to stabilise the trailer and reduces engine power, if necessary, to slow the vehicle (indicated by the flashing of this warning lamp on the instrument panel and the brake lamps coming on).For information on weights and towed loads, refer to the Engine technical data and towed loads section or your vehicle’s registration certificate.To ensure safe driving with a Towing device,
refer to the corresponding section.
Malfunction
If a fault occurs, this warning lamp lights up on the instrument panel, accompanied by a message and an audible signal.To continue towing a trailer, reduce speed and drive carefully!Have it checked by any authorized Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or any reliable repairer.
WARNI NG
The trailer stability control system provides an extra safety feature under normal driving conditions, when following the recommendations for use of trailers and current legislation in force in your country. It must not encourage the driver to take extra risks, such as using a trailer in unsuitable conditions of operation (e.g. excessive load, exceeded nose weight, worn or under-inflated tyres, faulty braking system) or driving at excessive speed.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.

Toyota Traction Select
(Depending on version)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 all-season Peak Mountain Snow Flake 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.A five-position selector knob allows you to choose the setting best suited to the driving conditions encountered.An indicator lamp associated with each mode comes on, accompanied by the display of a message to confirm your choice.
Operating modes


Standard (VSC)
This mode is calibrated for a low level of wheel spin, based on the different levels of grip normally encountered on the road.
NOTIC E
Every time the ignition is switched off, the system automatically resets to this mode.
Snow
This mode adapts its strategy to the conditions of grip encountered for each of the two front wheels on moving off.
(mode active up to 80 km/h (50 mph))
All terrain (mud, damp grass, etc.)
This mode, when moving off, allows considerable spin on the wheel with the least grip to optimise clearing of the mud and to regain grip. At the same time, the wheel with the most grip is controlled in such a way as to transmit as much torque as possible.When moving, the system optimises wheel spin to respond to the driver's requirements as fully as possible.(mode active up to 50 km/h (31 mph))
Sand
This mode allows little spin on the two driving wheels at the same time to allow the vehicle to move forward and limit the risks of getting stuck in the sand.(mode active up to 75 mph (120 km/h))
WARNI NG
Do not use the other modes on sand as the vehicle may become stuck.
You can deactivate the ASR and DSC systems by turning the knob to the "OFF" position.

Driving recommendations
► Observe the driving regulations and remain vigilant whatever the traffic conditions.► Monitor your environment and keep your hands on the wheel to be able to react to anything that may happen any time.► Drive smoothly, anticipate the need for braking and maintain a longer safety distance, especially in bad weather.► Stop the vehicle to carry out operations that require close attention (such as adjustments).► During long trips, take a break every two hours.To ensure the durability of the vehicle and for safety reasons, remember that certain precautionary measures must be taken when driving the vehicle:
Manoeuvre cautiously, at low speed
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.
Drive the vehicle carefully
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.
Maintenance
Inflate to the minimum pressure indicated on the label, or even over-inflate by 0.2 to 0.3 bar for long journeys.
Important!
WARNI NG
Never leave the engine running in a closed space without sufficient ventilation. Internal combustion engines emit toxic exhaust gases such as carbon monoxide. Danger of poisoning and death!
WARNI NG
In severe wintry conditions (temperature below -23°C), let the engine run for 4 minutes before moving off, to ensure the correct operation and durability of the mechanical components of your vehicle (engine and gearbox).
WARNI NG
Never drive with the parking brake applied. Risk of overheating and damage to the braking system!
WARNI NG
Do not park the vehicle or leave the engine running on a flammable surface (dry grass, dead leaves, etc.). The exhaust system of your vehicle is very hot, even several minutes after the engine stops. Risk of fire!
WARNI NG
Never leave a vehicle unattended 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).
WARNI NG
Never leave children inside the vehicle unsupervised.
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 your vehicle's
electrical systems.

If the vehicle absolutely must drive through a flooded section of road:► Check that the depth of the water does not exceed 15 cm, taking account of waves that might be generated by other users.► Deactivate the Stop & Start function.► 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 motor.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 any authorized Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or any reliable repairer.
Noise (Electric)
On the outside
Due to the vehicle’s quiet operation when driving, the driver must pay particular attention.At speeds of up to 19 mph (30 km/h), the pedestrian horn warns other road users of the vehicle’s presence.
NOTIC E
Cooling the traction batteryThe cooling fan comes on during charging to cool the on-board charger and the traction battery.
On the inside
During use, you may hear certain perfectly normal noises specific to electric vehicles, such as:– Traction battery relay when starting.– Vacuum pump when braking.– Vehicle tyres or aerodynamics when driving.– Jolting and knocking noise during hill starts.
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.
