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
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.

WARNI NG
Once these adjustments have been made,
check that the instrument panel can be viewed correctly from your driving position.

► 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.
Storage compartment under
the seat

► Lift the passenger’s seat cushion to access the storage compartment.
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.
With the two-seat front bench seat, the driver's
seat control switches the heating on or off for the bench seat’s outer seat.
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.

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.
Electric unfolding
The electric unfolding of the mirrors is via the remote control or the key when unlocking the vehicle. Unless folding was selected with control A, pull the control back again to the central position.

The vehicle may also be fitted with a pivoting table.► To return the backrest to the sitting position, stow the table, then guide it until it locks.Take care not to jam the tab under the seat cushion while moving the backrest.

WARNI NG
Never use the table while the vehicle is being driven.In the event of sudden braking or impact, any objects on the table might become dangerous projectiles that could cause injury.
Storage compartment under seats

► Lift the central seat to access the storage compartment. This space can be secured by fitting a padlock (not supplied).
WARNI NG
Each time you lock the seat in the sitting position, make sure that passengers have access to the seat belt end pieces and the associated straps.
Side seat
Retractable position

► Pull the tongue on the top edge of the seat near the head restraint to tilt and guide the assembly.It is placed in the floor of the front seat and thus forms a continuous flat floor with the loading space.This position allows transporting long cargo inside the vehicle with the doors closed.When retracted, the maximum weight on the backrest is 50 kg (110 lb).To replace the seat, lift the backrest until the seat locks into position on the floor.

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.

► Stow it behind the driver’s seat, turning the control at the top of the flap to secure it.
Refitting the flap

► Tilt the flap, with the yellow hinges pointing downwards.► Insert the hinges into their housing then press down fully (to avoid vibrations).► With one hand lift the flap to close it, then with the other hand turn the control at the top of the flap to secure it.
Positioning the protective
cover
WARNI NG
Whenever the backrest of the outer seat is
folded down and the partition flap is open, the protective cover must be installed.


WARNI NG
No passengers must be allowed to sit in the central seat if the backrest of the right-hand outer seat is lowered and the partition flap is open.


WARNI NG
When loading long objects, take care to install the protective cover correctly.Read the following procedure carefully.
► Fold down the outer passenger seat backrest.

► Install the protective cover by fastening its 4 snap hooks to the 4 anchor points on the partition.► Pull out the head restraint rods from the folded backrest, leaving two notches visible.► Load the desired objects.
NOTIC E
The maximum load permitted on the folded backrest is 100 kg (220 lb).


► Place the strap of the cover around the head restraint.

Heating and Ventilation
Advice
NOTIC E
Using the ventilation and air conditioning system► To ensure that air is distributed evenly,
keep the external air intake grilles at the base of the windscreen, the nozzles, the vents, the air outlets and the air extractor in the boot free from obstructions.► Do not cover the sunshine sensor located on the dashboard; this sensor is used to regulate the automatic air conditioning system.► Operate the air conditioning system for at least 5 to 10 minutes once or twice a month to keep it in perfect working order.► If the system does not produce cold air, switch it off and contact a TOYOTA dealer or a qualified workshop.When towing the maximum load on a steep gradient in high temperatures, switching off the air conditioning increases the available engine power, enhancing the towing capacity.
WARNI NG
Avoid driving for too long with the ventilation off or with prolonged operation of interior air recirculation. Risk of misting and deterioration of the air quality!
If the interior temperature is very high after the vehicle has stood for a long time in the sunshine, air the passenger compartment for a few moments.Put the air flow control at a setting high enough to quickly change the air in the passenger compartment.
NOTIC E
Condensation created by the air conditioning results in a discharge of water underneath the vehicle. This is perfectly normal.
NOTIC E
Servicing the ventilation and air conditioning system► Ensure that the passenger compartment filter is in good condition and have the filter elements replaced regularly.
We recommend using a composite passenger compartment filter. Thanks to its special active additive, this type of filter helps to purify the air breathed by the occupants and keep the passenger compartment clean (by reducing allergic symptoms, unpleasant odours and greasy deposits).► To ensure correct operation of the air conditioning system, have it checked according to the recommendations in the Maintenance and Warranty Guide.
NOTIC E
Rapid heating of the interior
► Press button 3c.► Turn the thumbwheel 1 to a high temperature (21 minimum).► Turn the thumbwheel 2 to position 3 or beyond.► Press button 4 for a faster result (do not leave the air recirculation on for too long: risk of window fogging).► Do not press the other buttons.
