WARNI NG
Prolonged use of 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 heavy or sharp 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.
EC O
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.
Electric lumbar
adjustment

► Press the control to obtain the desired lumbar support.
Massage function

This function provides lumbar massage; it only operates when the engine is running as well as in STOP mode of the Stop & Start system.
Activation/Deactivation
► Press this button to activate/deactivate the function.Upon activation, the indicator lamp comes on. The massage function is activated for a period of one hour.

Seating area fittings

High load retaining net
This allows the use of the entire loading capacity, up to the roof:– behind the front seats in row 1, when the rear seats (and bench seats) in rows 2 and 3 are folded or removed,– behind the rear seats (and bench seats) in row 2, when the rear seats (and bench seats) in row 3 are folded or removed.
Upper fixings

► Unclip the anchorage cover in the roof on each side.
Lower fixings (behind row 1)
If your vehicle has fixed one-piece bench seats or seats and bench seats:

► On each side in row 2, insert the fixings in the floor anchorages (as shown above).If your vehicle has seats and bench seats or individual seats on rails:

► On each side in row 2, insert the fixings in the floor anchorages then turn them a quarter turn to lock them in place (as shown above).Place them as close as possible to the end of the rail.
Lower fixings (behind row 2)

► Use the stowing rings.
Fit the net
Unclip the upper fixing covers and secure the lower fixings (as previously described).► Fold (table position) the seats and bench seats in rows 2 and 3 (according to equipment).► Close the rear heating and air conditioning vents (depending on the equipment you have).► Unroll the high load retaining net.
► Position the net upper fixings in the corresponding anchorages in the roof (first one side, then the other).► Fully extend the straps.► On each side, attach the bottom fixings of the net to the lower anchorages (behind row 1) or in the stowing rings (behind row 2).► Tension the straps to extend the net.► Check that the net is attached securely and properly extended.

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 any authorized Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or any reliable repairer.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.


Contains R134A fluorinated greenhouse gasesDepending on version and country of sale, the air conditioning system may contain R134A
fluorinated greenhouse gases.Gas capacity 0.5 kg (+/- 0.025 kg), GWP index 1430 (CO2 equivalent: 0.715 t).

NOTIC E
Stop & StartThe heating and air conditioning systems only operate when the engine is running.Temporarily deactivate the Stop & Start system to maintain a comfortable temperature in the passenger compartment.For more information on the Stop & Start, refer to the corresponding section.

If you set the air flow control to the minimum position (off), the temperature in the vehicle will no longer be controlled. A slight air flow can still be felt however, resulting from the forward movement of the vehicle.
Temperature
► Turn the thumbwheel 1 from "LO" (cold) to "HI" (hot) to adjust the temperature to your requirements.
Air distribution

Automatic comfort mode
► Press the "AUTO" button 6 to toggle the mode.The active mode appears in the display screen, as described below:Provides dynamic, effective air flow.
Offers the best compromise between a comfortable temperature and quiet operation.
Ensures soft, quiet operation by limiting air flow.
NOTIC E
When the engine is cold, the air flow will only increase to its optimum level gradually, to avoid distributing too much cold air.In cold weather, it prioritises the distribution of warm air to the windscreen, the side windows and the footwells only.
Manual mode
It is possible to make a different choice from that offered by the system by changing a setting. The other functions will still be managed automatically.As soon as a setting is changed, the "AUTO" symbol disappears.
Deactivating the system
► Press button 2 "-" until the fan symbol disappears.This disables all functions of the dual-zone automatic air conditioning system.
The temperature is no longer regulated. A slight flow of air can still be felt, due to the forward movement of the vehicle.► Press button 2 "+" to switch the system on again.

Temperature
The driver and front passenger can each set the temperature to suit their preferences.The value shown on the display is a level of comfort, not a temperature in Celsius or Fahrenheit.► Push button 1 down to decrease the value or up to increase it.
NOTIC E
A setting of around 21 provides optimum comfort. Depending on your requirements, a setting between 18 and 24 is normal.In addition, we recommend avoiding left/right setting differences of more than 3.
NOTIC E
On entering the vehicle, if the interior temperature is significantly colder or warmer than the comfort value setting, there is no need to alter the value displayed in order to reach the required level of comfort. The system compensates automatically and corrects the temperature difference as quickly as possible.
NOTIC E
For maximum cooling or heating of the passenger compartment, it is possible to exceed the minimum value 14 or the maximum value 28.► Push button 1 down until "LO" is displayed or up until "HI" is displayed.
