Stowing rings
Use the stowing rings on the rear floor to secure loads.
As a safety precaution in case of sharp braking, we recommend placing heavy objects as far forwards as possible (i.e. near the cab).We recommend using the stowing rings on the floor to firmly secure the load.
WARNI NG
When washing your vehicle, never clean the inside directly using a water jet.
Recommendations on
loading
WARNI NG
The weight of the load must comply with the Gross Train Weight (GTW).For more information on Engine technical data and towed loads, refer to the corresponding section.
WARNI NG
If you are using a carrying system (roof bars/roof rack), comply with the maximum loads associated with this system.For more information on Roof bars/Roof rack, refer to the corresponding section.
WARNI NG
Make sure that the size, shape and volume of the loads carried are compatible with the highway code and safety regulations and do not impair the driver’s field of vision.
WARNI NG
The load must be evenly distributed in the loading area so as not to interfere with driving the vehicle.Place the load close to the side panels, or even push it against the side panels between the wheel arches.However, it is recommended that heavy objects are placed as close to the cab as possible as a precaution in case of sharp braking.
WARNI NG
Firmly secure all parts of the load using the stowing rings on the floor of the loading area.For more information on the Interior fittingsand in particular on the stowing rings, refer to the corresponding section.

Advice
WARNI NG
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.
WARNI NG
MaintenanceIn accordance with current safety regulations, for all repairs on your vehicle's seat belts, go to a qualified workshop with the skills and equipment needed, which a TOYOTA dealer is able to provide.Have the seat belts checked regularly by a TOYOTA dealer or a qualified workshop, particularly if the straps show signs of damage.Clean the seat belt straps with soapy water or a textile cleaning product, sold by TOYOTA dealers.
WARNI NG
In the event of an impactDepending on the nature and seriousness of impacts, the pyrotechnic pretensioner device may trigger before and independently
of airbag deployment. Deployment of the pretensioners is accompanied by a slight discharge of harmless smoke and a noise, due to the activation of the pyrotechnic cartridge incorporated in the system.In all cases, the airbag warning lamp comes on.Following an impact, have the seat belt system checked, and if necessary replaced, by a TOYOTA dealer or a qualified workshop.

WARNI NG
In the event of a minor impact or bump at the side of the vehicle or if the vehicle rolls over, the airbags may not be deployed.In the event of a rear or front collision, none of the lateral airbags are deployed.
Advice
WARNI NG
For the airbags to be fully effective, observe the safety recommendations below.Adopt a normal upright sitting position.Fasten the seat belt ensuring it is correctly positioned and adjusted.Do not leave anything between the occupants and the airbags (a child, pet, object, etc.), nor fix or attach anything close to or in the way of the airbag release trajectory; this could cause injuries during their deployment.Do not place objects on the dashboard.Never modify the original definition of your vehicle, particularly in the area directly around the airbags.After an accident or if the vehicle has been stolen, have the airbag systems checked.
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.

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.
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.
