11)Make sure the doors are closed:
driving with doors not completely closed is
dangerous.
12)NEVER leave children unattended
inside the car, let alone leave the car with
the doors unlocked in a place that children
can access easily. Children may seriously,
or even fatally, injure themselves. Also
ensure that children do not inadvertently
operate
13)Be careful not to lock the doors while
the key is inside the vehicle.
14)When opening the rear door, confirm
that the occupant of the front seat has
taken off the seat belt before opening the

tightened with the locked seat belt and
could result in serious injury.
15)When closing the rear door, make sure
not being trapped your hands or your
fingers in the doors.
16)Before driving, make sure that the rear
door is securely closed. If a door is ajar, the
door ajar warning lamp will illuminates. If a
door is not completely closed, the rear
door could open while driving and this
could cause an accident such as
occupants being thrown from the vehicle.

NOTE Do not climb or sit on the
armrest. Doing so could damage the
armrest.
NOTE The top surface of the armrest
contains a cup holder for rear seat
occupants. Refer to “Cup holder”.
WARNING
31)Do not attempt to adjust the seat while
driving. This can cause loss of vehicle
control and result in an accident. After
adjustments are made, ensure the seating
is locked in position by attempting to move
the seat forward and rearward without
using the adjusting mechanism.
32)After releasing the adjustment lever,
always check that the seat is locked on the
guides by trying to move it back and forth.
If it is not locked, the seat may move
unexpectedly and make you lose control of
the vehicle.33)For maximum safety, keep the back of
your seat upright, lean back into it and
make sure the seat belt fits closely across
your chest and pelvis.
34)Make sure the backrests are properly
secured at both sides (not visible "red
notches) to prevent them from moving
forward, in the event of sharp braking, with
possible impact with of the passengers.
35)It is extremely dangerous to ride in the
cargo area (inside or outside) of a vehicle.
Also, the cargo area and rear seats should
never be used as a play area by children. In
a collision, people or children riding
unrestrained in these areas are more likely
to be seriously injured or killed.
36)Do not allow people or children to ride
in any area of your vehicle that is not
equipped with seats and seat belts, and
make sure that everyone travelling in your
vehicle is in a seat and wearing a seat belt,
or in the case of a child is strapped in a
child restraint.
37)To minimize the risk of personal injury in
the event of a collision or sudden braking,
the seatbacks should always be in the
almost upright position while the vehicle is
in motion. The protection provided by the
seat belts may be reduced significantly
when the seatback is reclined. There is
greater risk that the passenger will slide
under the seat belt, resulting in serious
injury, when the seatback is reclined.
38)Make sure the seat is adjusted by an
adult or with adult supervision for correct
and safe operation.
39)Do not place a cushion or the like
between your back and the seatback while
driving. The effectiveness of the head
restraints will be reduced in the event of an
accident.40)The reclining mechanism of the front
manual seat's seatback is spring loaded,
causing it to fold the seatback forward
when the lock lever is operated. When
using the lever, sit close to the seatback or
hold it with your hand to control its return
motion.
41)When sliding the seats, be careful not
to catch your hand or foot.
42)If your vehicle is equipped with the rear
seat, when sliding or reclining the seat
rearward, pay careful attention to the rear
seat passengers.
IMPORTANT
10)The fabric upholstery of the seats has
been designed to withstand long-term wear
deriving from normal use of the car. Some
precautions are however required. Avoid
prolonged and/or excessive rubbing
against clothing accessories such as metal
buckles and Velcro strips which, by
applying a high pressure on the fabric in a
small area, could cause it to break, thereby
damaging the upholstery.

WARNING
43)All adjustments must only be carried
out with the vehicle stationary and the
engine off. Head restraints must be
adjusted so that the head, rather than the
neck, rests on them. Only in this case can
they protect your head correctly. To take
best advantage of the protection provided
by the head restraint, adjust the seat back
so that you are sitting up straight and your
head is as close to the head restraint as
possible.
44)Driving without the head restraints in
place can cause you and your passengers
serious injury or death in an accident. To
reduce the risk of injury in an accident,
always make sure the head restraints are
installed and properly positioned when the
seat is occupied.45)Never place a cushion or similar device
on the seatback. This can adversely affect
head restraint performance by increasing
the distance between your head and the
restraint.
46)When a person sits in the middle
seating position of the rear seat, pull up the
head restraint to a height at which it locks
in position. Be sure to make this
adjustment before starting to drive. Serious
injuries could otherwise be suffered in the
result of an impact (Double cab).
47)Make sure that the height adjusting
knob (A) is correctly adjusted as shown in
the illustration, and also lift the head
restraints to ensure that they do not come
out of the seatback.
48)The shape and size of the head
restraint differs according to the seat.
Always use the correct head restraint
provided for the seat and do not install the
head restraint in the wrong direction.

Cargo loads precautions
When loading luggage, be careful to the
following.
Stow cargo and luggage in the cargo
area whenever possible.
Distribute cargo or luggage evenly
not to be unbalanced in weight of a
load.
Do not place cargo or luggage on
the instrument panel. Also, do not stack
up cargo or luggage on the front

gradient or with a side gradient, opening
the rear door or side door could cause any
unsecured items to emerge suddenly.
78)If you wish to carry a reserve of petrol
in a can, observe the legal restrictions and
only use a can that is type-approved and
properly secured to the load anchorage
eyebolts. Anyway, by doing so, you
increase the risk of fire in the event of an
accident with your vehicle.
