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.
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

NOTIC E
Regularly check the condition of the protective cover.When signs of wear and tear appear, contact a TOYOTA dealer to have it replaced by a protective cover that meets the specifications and qualities required by TOYOTA and your vehicle.
Crew cab
A movable partition that can be placed behind the first or second row of seats protects the
driver and passengers against the risk of load movement.A hatch in the partition can be opened to allow long items to be carried.A protective cover is supplied with the vehicle to enable long items to be carried safely.
Moving the partition
Moving the partition forwards
► Fold the backrests of the row 2 seats and check that they are properly folded. If necessary, adjust the position of the row 1 seats (moving them forwards).► Release the upper latchesA and B.► Check that the latches C and D are retracted.► Slide the partition forwards.► Lock the lower latchesC and D and then check that the locating pins are correctly
engaged in their housings.► Lock the upper latchesA and B.
Moving the partition backwards
► Release the upper latchesA and B.► Release the lower latchesC and D.► Slide the partition backwards.► Lock the upper latchesA and B.► Return the backrests of the row 2 seats to their positions.

WARNI NG
The partition must not be moved with the latches extended - risk of scratches or damage to the plastic trims!

Opening/closing the hatch
► Open/close the hatch using the latch.► Use the stay to keep it in the open position.
WARNI NG
Always close the hatch and raise the backrest of the outer passenger seat(s) (depending on the position of the partition) when you are not carrying a long load.

The driver must ensure that passengers use the seat belts correctly and that they are all fastened before setting off.Wherever you are seated in the vehicle, always fasten your seat belt, even for short journeys.
Do not interchange the seat belt buckles, as they will not fulfil their role fully.Before and after use, ensure that the seat belt is reeled in correctly.After folding or moving a seat or rear bench seat, ensure that the seat belt is positioned and reeled in correctly.
WARNI NG
InstallationThe lower part of the strap must be positioned as low as possible on the pelvis.The upper part must be positioned in the hollow of the shoulder.In order to be effective, a seat belt must:– be tightened as close to the body as possible,– be pulled in front of you with a smooth
movement, checking that it does not twist,– be used to restrain only one person,
– not show any signs of cuts or fraying,– not be converted or modified in order not to affect its performance.
WARNI NG
Recommendations for childrenUse a suitable child seat if the passenger is less than 12 years old or shorter than one and a half metres (4 ft 11").
Never use the same seat belt to secure more than one child.Never carry a child on your lap.For more information on Child seats, refer to the corresponding section.
