General
recommendations for the
seats
WARNI NG
For safety reasons, seat adjustments must only be made when the vehicle is stationary.
WARNI NG
Folding or unfolding the seat backrests must only be done with the vehicle stationary.
WARNI NG
Before moving the seat backwards, ensure that there is no person or object that might prevent the full travel of the seat.There is a risk of trapping or pinching
passengers if present in the rear seats or of jamming the seat if large objects are placed on the floor behind the seat.
WARNI NG
Do not place hard or heavy objects on the backrests forming a table. They could become
dangerous projectiles in the event of sudden braking or a collision.– Do not remove a head restraint without stowing it; secure it to a support inside the vehicle.– Check that the seat belts remain accessible to the passenger and easy to fasten.– Passengers must never take their seat without adjusting and fastening their seat belt.– In row 3, be careful not to leave your feet under the row 2 seat while it is being tilted.– When a row 3 seat is in the fully folded position, ensure that the strap is correctly hooked to the Top Tether fixing of the row 2 backrest: risk of unexpected tipping of the seat.
WARNI NG
Before carrying out the manoeuvres, check that nothing and no one is obstructing the moving elements and their locking.
To avoid sudden folding, take care to hold the backrest and support it until it is horizontal.Never put your hand underneath the seat cushion to guide the seat downwards or upwards, you could get your fingers trapped. Place your hand on the grip/strap (depending on equipment) at the top of the seat cushion.
WARNI NG
Please note: an incorrectly latched backrest compromises the safety of passengers in the event of sudden braking or an impact.The contents of the boot may be thrown forward - risk of severe injury!
Front seats
Correct driving position
Before taking to the road and to make the most of the ergonomic layout of the instruments and controls, carry out these adjustments in the following order:– head restraint height.– seat backrest angle.– seat cushion height.– longitudinal seat position.– steering wheel height and reach.– rear view mirror and door mirrors.

► Push the armrest shaft towards the backrest.► While holding it in this position, rotate the armrest towards the rear.
► Pull the armrest to detach it from the backrest.Refitting the armrest
► Slot the armrest into the backrest, ensuring that you align the bayonet lugs with the holes.► Push the armrest shaft towards the backrest.► While holding it in this position, rotate the armrest towards the front. The armrest is once again secured onto the backrest.
Retractable position
► If the centre console inconveniences you, remove the passenger's seat armrest.► Push the control rearwards fully to tilt and guide the assembly.This position allows you to transport long loads inside the vehicle with the doors closed.When retracted, the maximum permitted weight on the backrest is 50 kg (110 lb).► To reposition the seat cushion, raise the backrest until it locks in the raised position.
Heated seat control
► Approximately 30 seconds after starting the engine, press the control.The temperature is controlled automatically.Pressing again interrupts operation.
NOTIC E
If you press the control while the engine is not running, the request will be memorised for approximately 2 minutes.
ECO
Do not use the function when the seat is not occupied.Reduce the heating intensity as soon as possible.When the seat and passenger compartment have reached a satisfactory temperature, switch the function off; reducing electricity consumption in turn decreases fuel consumption.

WARNI NG
Prolonged use of the heated seats is not recommended for those with sensitive skin.There is a risk of burns for people whose perception of heat is impaired (illness, taking medication, etc.).To keep the heated pad intact and to prevent a short circuit:– do not place sharp or heavy objects on the seat,– do not kneel or stand on the seat,– do not spill liquids onto the seat,– never use the heating function if the seat is wet.
Steering wheel
adjustment
► When stationary, pull the control lever to release the steering wheel.► Adjust the height and reach.► Lower the control lever to lock the steering wheel.
WARNI NG
As a safety precaution, these operations must only be carried out while the vehicle is
stationary.
Mirrors
Door mirrors
Adjustment
► Move control A or turn control C (depending on the version you have) to the right or to the left to select the corresponding mirror.
► Move control B or C (depending on the version you have) in any of the four directions to adjust.► Return control A or C (depending on the version you have) to its centre position.
WARNI NG
As a safety measure, the mirrors should be adjusted to reduce the blind spots.
The objects observed are, in reality, closer than they appear.Take this into account when assessing the distance of vehicles approaching from behind.
Manual folding
You can manually fold the mirrors (parking obstruction, narrow garage, etc.)► Turn the mirror towards the vehicle.
Electric folding
If the vehicle is so equipped, the mirrors can be folded electrically from the inside, with the vehicle parked and the ignition on:
► Place control A in the centre position.► Pull control A back.
► Lock the vehicle from the outside.

NOTIC E
It is recommended that children travel on the rear seats of the vehicle:– ‘rear facing’ up to the age of 3,– ‘forward facing’ over the age of 3.
WARNI NG
Make sure that the seat belt is correctly positioned and tightened.For child seats with a support leg, ensure that the support leg is in firm and steady contact with the floor.
WARNI NG
Remove and stow the head restraint before installing a child seat with backrest on a passenger seat. Refit the head restraint once the child seat has been removed.
Advice
WARNI NG
An incorrectly installed child seat compromises the child's safety in the event of an accident.Ensure that there is no seat belt or seat belt buckle under the child seat, as this could destabilise it.
Remember to fasten the seat belts or the harness of child seats, keeping the slack relative to the child's body to a minimum, even for short journeys.When installing a child seat using the seat belt, ensure that the seat belt is tightened correctly on the child seat and that it secures the child seat firmly on the seat of the vehicle. If the passenger seat is adjustable, move it forwards if necessary.Remove the head restraint before installing a child seat with a backrest on a passenger seat.Ensure that the head restraint is stored or attached securely to prevent it from being thrown around the vehicle in the event of sharp braking. Refit the head restraint once the child seat has been removed.
WARNI NG
Installing a booster seatThe chest part of the seat belt must be positioned on the child's shoulder without touching the neck.Ensure that the lap part of the seat belt passes correctly over the child's thighs.Use a booster seat with backrest, equipped with a belt guide at shoulder level.
WARNI NG
Additional protectionsTo prevent accidental opening of the doors and rear windows, use the "Child lock".Take care not to open the rear windows by more than one third.To protect young children from the rays of the sun, fit side blinds on the rear windows.As a safety precaution, do not leave:– a child alone and unattended in a vehicle,– a child or an animal in a vehicle which is exposed to the sun, with the windows closed,– the keys within reach of children inside the vehicle.

WARNI NG
Any other state of the indicator lamp indicates a fault with the electric child lock.Have it checked by a TOYOTA dealer or a qualified workshop.
WARNI NG
This system is independent and in no circumstances does it take the place of the central locking control.Do not drive with the sliding side door open.Check the status of the child lock each time you switch on the ignition.Always remove the key from the ignition when leaving the vehicle, even for a short time.
