Eco-driving
Eco-driving
Eco-driving refers to a range of everyday practices that allow the motorist to optimise their fuel consumption and CO2emissions.
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 and avoid pressing the accelerator pedal heavily or suddenly.The gear efficiency 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 attitudes
help to save fuel, reduce CO2 emissions and decrease general traffic noise.If the vehicle has the steering-mounted "CRUISE" control, use cruise control at speeds above 40 km/h (25 mph) when the traffic is flowing well.
Use electrical equipment wisely
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 50 km/h (31 mph), close the windows and leave the air vents open.Consider using equipment that can help keep the temperature in the passenger compartment down (sunroof blind and window blinds, etc.).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.Switch off the headlamps and foglamps when the visibility conditions do not require their use.Avoid running the engine before moving off, particularly in winter; your vehicle will warm up much faster while driving.As a passenger, avoid connecting your multimedia devices (film, music, video game, etc.) to help reduce consumption of electrical
energy, and hence fuel.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 (roof bars, roof rack,
bicycle carrier, trailer, etc.). 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 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 overlook the spare wheel and, where applicable, the tyres on your trailer or caravan.Have your vehicle serviced regularly (engine oil, oil filter, air filter, passenger compartment filter, etc.) and 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. Visit a TOYOTA dealer or a qualified workshop as soon as
possible to restore your vehicle’s nitrogen oxide emissions to regulatory compliance.When filling the fuel tank, do not continue after the third nozzle cut-out, to avoid overflow.You will only see the fuel consumption of your new vehicle settle down to a consistent average after the first 3,000 kilometres (1,900 miles).

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.

Interior fittings
Mats
Fitting
When fitting the mat for the first time, on the driver's side use only the fasteners supplied in the enclosed sachet.The other mats are simply laid over the carpet.
Removing/refitting
► To remove it on the driver's side, move the seat backwards and unclip the fasteners.► To refit it, position the mat and secure it by pressing.► Check that the mat is secured correctly.
WARNI NG
To avoid any risk of jamming the pedals:– Only use mats which are suitable for the fasteners already present in the vehicle; these fasteners must be used.– Never fit one mat on top of another.The use of mats not approved by TOYOTA may interfere with access to the pedals and hinder the operation of the cruise control/speed limiter.The approved mats have two fasteners located underneath the seat.
Roof and roof storage
Overhead storage compartment and central storage compartment
The overhead storage compartment (1) is located above the sun visors and can be used to
store miscellaneous objects.There is a storage space (2) located in the roof lining.
The maximum permitted load is 6 kg (13 lb).
WARNI NG
In the event of sharp deceleration, objects placed in the central storage compartment of the roof may be transformed into projectiles.
Rear storage compartment
This compartment is accessible from the rear
seats and from the vehicle's boot.It has a capacity of 60 litres and the maximum permitted load is 10 kg (22 lb).
► To open it from the rear seats, slide the rear storage compartment shutters.

WARNI NG
Do not place hard or heavy objects on the table. Such objects could become projectiles in the event of sudden deceleration.
Side blinds
They are fitted to the windows of the sliding side doors (depending on version).
► To raise or lower the blind, pull it by the tab.
NOTIC E
To avoid damaging the blind:– Guide it slowly, using the tab, while raising or lowering it.– Make sure the tab is securely fastened
before opening the door.
High load retaining net
This net, hooked onto the upper mountings and the lower rings or lugs, enables the use of the full loading volume, up to the roof:– Behind the front seats (row 1) when the rear seats are folded.– Behind the rear seats (row 2).
NOTIC E
When positioning the net, check that the strap loops are visible from the boot; this will make slackening or tightening them easier.
WARNI NG
Remove the luggage cover shelf or roller
(depending on version).
Installation behind row 1
► Open the covers on the upper mountings 1.► Unroll the high load retaining net.► Position one end of the net's metal bar in the corresponding upper mounting 1, then do the same with the other end.► Fully extend the straps.
► Wind each strap around bar 3 located under the front seat cushion (row 1), then secure each
52
spring hook to the ring on the corresponding strap.► Fold down the rear seats.► Tighten the straps without raising the bench seat.► Check that the net is hooked and tightened correctly.
Installation behind row 2
► Fold or remove the luggage cover.► Open the covers on the upper mountings 2.► Unroll the high load retaining net.
► Position one end of the net's metal bar in the corresponding upper mounting 2, then do the same with the other end.► Attach the hook on each of the net's straps to the corresponding stowing ring 4 (located on the floor).► Tighten the straps.► Check that the net is hooked and tightened correctly.
WARNI NG
Never use the ISOFIX ring, which is for fixing the strap of a child seat with Top Tether.

All work on the airbag systems must only be performed by a TOYOTA dealer or a qualified workshop.Even if all of the precautions mentioned are observed, a risk of injury or of minor burns to the head, chest or arms cannot be ruled out when an airbag is deployed. The airbag inflates almost instantly (within a few milliseconds) then deflates within the same time discharging the hot gas via openings provided for this purpose.
WARNI NG
Front airbagsDo not drive holding the steering wheel by its spokes or resting your hands on the centre part of the wheel.Passengers must not place their feet on the dashboard.Do not smoke as deployment of the airbags can cause burns or the risk of injury from a
cigarette or pipe.Never remove or pierce the steering wheel or hit it violently.Do not fix or attach anything to the steering wheel or dashboard, as this could cause injuries when the airbags are deployed.
WARNI NG
Lateral airbagsUse only approved covers on the seats, compatible with the deployment of the lateral airbags. For information on the range of seat covers suitable for your vehicle, contact a TOYOTA dealer.Do not fix or attach anything to the seat backrests (clothes, etc.), as this could cause injuries to the thorax or arm when the lateral airbag is deployed.Do not sit with the upper part of the body any nearer to the door than necessary.The vehicle's front door panels include side impact sensors.A damaged door or any unauthorised or incorrectly executed work (modification or repair) on the front doors or their interior trim could compromise the operation of these sensors - risk of malfunction of the lateral airbags!Such work must only be done by a TOYOTA
dealer or a qualified workshop.
WARNI NG
Curtain airbagsDo not fix or attach anything to the roof, as this could cause head injuries when the curtain airbag is deployed.Do not remove the grab handles installed on the roof, as they play a part in securing the curtain airbags.
Child seats
NOTIC E
The regulations on carrying children are specific to each country. Refer to the legislation in force in your country.
For maximum safety, please observe the following recommendations:– In accordance with European regulations, all children under the age of 12 or less than 150 cm (4 ft 11”) tall must travel in approved child seats suited to their weight, on seats fitted with a seat belt or ISOFIX mountings.– Statistically, the safest seats in your vehicle for carrying children are the rear seats.– Children weighing less than 9 kg (20 lb) must travel in the "rear facing" position, whether in the front or rear of the vehicle.
85
Safety

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.
