Eco-driving
Eco-driving refers to a range of everyday practices that allow the motorist to optimise the vehicle's energy consumption (fuel and/or electricity) and CO2 emissions.
Optimise your use of the gearbox
With a manual gearbox, move off gently and change up promptly. While accelerating, change
up early.With an automatic gearbox, favour automatic mode. Do not depress the accelerator pedal heavily or suddenly.The gear shift indicator prompts you to engage the most suitable gear. Whenever this indication is displayed on the instrument panel, follow it straight away.With an automatic gearbox, this indicator appears only in manual mode.
Drive smoothly
Maintain a safe distance between vehicles, use engine braking rather than the brake pedal and press the accelerator gradually. These practices help to save on energy consumption, reduce CO2 emissions and decrease general traffic noise.When the traffic is flowing smoothly, select the cruise control.
Control the use of electrical equipment
Before moving off, if the passenger compartment is too warm, ventilate it by opening the windows and air vents before using the air conditioning.At speeds above 31 mph (50 km/h), close the windows and leave the air vents open.Consider using equipment that can help keep the temperature in the passenger compartment down (e.g. sunroof blind, window blinds).
Unless automatically regulated, switch off the air conditioning as soon as the desired temperature has been reached.Switch off the demisting and defrosting functions, if they are not managed automatically.Switch off the heated seat as soon as possible.Adapt the use of headlamps and/or foglamps to the level of visibility, in accordance with current legislation in the country in which you are driving.Avoid running the engine before moving off, particularly in winter (other than in severe wintry conditions: temperature below -23°C). The vehicle will warm up much faster while driving.As a passenger, avoid connecting your multimedia devices (e.g. film, music, video game) to help reduce the consumption of energy.Disconnect all portable devices before leaving the vehicle.
Limit the causes of excess consumption
Spread loads throughout the vehicle. Place the heaviest items in the boot as close as possible to the rear seats.
Limit the loads carried in the vehicle and minimise wind resistance (e.g. roof bars, roof rack, bicycle carrier, trailer). Preferably, use a roof box.Remove roof bars and roof racks after use.At the end of winter, remove snow tyres and refit summer tyres.
Comply with the servicing instructions
Check tyre pressures regularly, with the tyres
cold, referring to the label in the door aperture on the driver's side.Carry out this check in particular:– before a long journey.– at each change of season.– after a long period out of use.Do not forget the spare wheel and, where applicable, the tyres on your trailer or caravan.Have your vehicle serviced regularly (e.g. engine oil, oil filter, air filter, passenger compartment filter, etc.). Observe the schedule of operations in the manufacturer's service schedule.With a Diesel engine, if the SCR system is faulty, your vehicle will emit pollution. Check with any authorized Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or any reliable repairer as soon as possible to restore your vehicle's nitrogen oxide emissions to legal levels.When filling the fuel tank, do not continue after the third cut-out of the nozzle, to avoid overflow.You will only see the fuel consumption of your new vehicle settle down to a consistent average after the first 1,900 miles (3,000 kilometres).

NOTIC E
As a safety precaution and to facilitate engine starting:– always select neutral,– depress the clutch pedal.
Gear efficiency indicator
(Depending on engine.)This system helps reduce fuel consumption by recommending the most appropriate gear.
Operation
Depending on the driving situation and the vehicle's equipment, the system may advise to skip one or more gears.Gear shift recommendations should not be considered compulsory. In fact, the road layout, the traffic density and safety remain the deciding factors when choosing the best gear. The driver therefore remains responsible for deciding whether or not to follow the indications issued by the system.This function cannot be deactivated.On certain Diesel versions with manual gearbox, the system may suggest changing into neutral (N is displayed in the instrument panel) so that the engine can go into standby (STOP mode with Stop & Start), in certain driving conditions.

166
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.
Deactivation/Reactivation

► To deactivate or reactivate the system, press this button.The indicator lamp is lit when the system is deactivated.
With touch screen
The settings are changed via the vehicle configuration menu.
WARNI NG
If the system has been deactivated in STOP mode, the engine restarts immediately.
NOTIC E
The system is reactivated automatically
whenever the engine is started by the driver.
Operation
Main conditions for operation
– The driver’s door must be closed.– The sliding side door must be closed.– The driver's seat belt must be fastened.– The state of charge of the battery must be sufficient.– The temperature of the engine must be within
its nominal operating range.– The outside temperature must be between 0°C and 35°C.
Putting the engine into standby
(STOP mode)
The engine automatically enters standby mode as soon as the driver indicates their intention to stop.With a manual gearbox: at speeds below 12 mph (20 km/h) or with the vehicle stationary (depending on engine), with the gear lever in neutral and the clutch pedal released.With an automatic gearbox: with the brake pedal depressed or the gear selector in position N, with the vehicle stationary.
Time counter
A time counter adds up the time spent in standby during the journey. It is reset to zero every time the ignition is switched on.

Under-inflation detection
This system automatically checks the pressures of the tyres while driving.It compares the information given by the wheel speed sensors with reference values, which must be reinitialised every time the tyre pressures are adjusted or a wheel changed.The system triggers an alert as soon as it
detects a drop in the inflation pressure of one or more tyres.
WARNI NG
Under-inflation detection does not replace the need for vigilance on the part of the driver.This system does not avoid the need to regularly check the tyre pressures (including the spare wheel) as well as before a long journey.Driving with under-inflated tyres, particularly in adverse conditions (heavy load, high speed, long journey):– worsens road-holding.– lengthens braking distances.– causes premature wear of the tyres.– increases fuel consumption.
NOTIC E
The inflation pressures defined for the vehicle can be found on the tyre pressure label.For more information on the Identification markings, refer to the corresponding section.
WARNI NG
Checking tyre pressuresThis check should be done when the tyres are "cold" (vehicle stopped for 1 hour or after a journey of less than 10 km (6 miles) at moderate speeds).Otherwise, add 0.3 bar to the pressures shown on the label.
NOTIC E
Snow chainsThe system does not have to be reinitialised after fitting or removing snow chains.
NOTIC E
Spare wheelThe steel spare wheel does not have an
under-inflation detection sensor.
Under-inflation alert
This is signalled by the fixed illumination of this warning lamp, accompanied by an audible signal and, depending on equipment, the display of a message.► Reduce speed immediately, avoid excessive steering movements and avoid sudden braking.► Stop the vehicle as soon as it is safe to do so.
WARNI NG
The loss of pressure detected may not always cause visible deformation of the tyre.Do not rely on just a visual check.
► Using a compressor, such as the one in the temporary puncture repair kit, check the pressures of all four tyres when cold.► 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

This system does not require any routine servicing. However, in the event of a
problem, do not hesitate to have the system checked by a TOYOTA dealer or a qualified workshop.
NOTIC E
For more information on the Electric parking brake, refer to the corresponding section.
Brake pads
Brake wear depends on the style of driving, particularly in the case of vehicles used in town, over short distances. It may be necessary to have the condition of the brakes checked, even between vehicle services.Unless there is a leak in the circuit, a drop in the brake fluid level indicates that the brake pads are worn.
NOTIC E
After washing the vehicle, moisture, or in wintry conditions, ice can form on the brake discs and pads: braking efficiency may be reduced. Gently dab the brakes to dry and defrost them.
Brake disc/drum wear
For any information on checking brake disc/drum wear, contact any authorized Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or any reliable repairer.
Wheels and tyres
The inflation pressure of all tyres, including the spare wheel, must be checked on "cold” tyres.The pressures indicated on the tyre pressure label are valid for "cold" tyres. If you have driven for more than 10 minutes or more than 10 km (6 miles) at over 50 km/h (31 mph), add 0.3 bar (30 kPa) to the values indicated on the label.
WARNI NG
Under-inflation increases fuel consumption. Non-compliant tyre pressure causes premature wear on tyres and has an adverse effect on the vehicle's road holding - risk of an accident!
Driving with worn or damaged tyres reduces the braking and road holding performance of the vehicle. It is recommended to regularly check the condition of the tyres (tread and sidewalls) and wheel rims as well as the presence of the valves.When the wear indicators no longer appear set back from the tread, the depth of the grooves is less than 1.6 mm; it is imperative to replace the tyres.Using different size wheels and tyres from those specified can affect the lifetime of tyres, wheel
rotation, ground clearance, the speedometer reading and have an adverse effect on road holding.
