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.

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
If a genuine TOYOTA towing device is used, the rear parking sensors will be deactivated automatically to avoid the audible signal.
When driving
Cooling
Towing a trailer uphill causes the coolant temperature to increase. The maximum towable load depends on the gradient and the exterior temperature. The fan’s cooling capacity does not increase with engine speed.► Reduce speed and lower the engine speed to limit the amount of heating produced.In all cases, pay attention to the coolant temperature.If this warning lamp and the STOP warning lamp come on, stop the vehicle and switch off the engine as soon as possible.
Brakes
Braking distances are increased when towing a trailer. To avoid overheating the brakes, the use of engine braking is recommended.
Side wind
Bear in mind that the vehicle will be more susceptible to wind when towing.
Anti-theft protection
Electronic immobiliser
The remote control contains an electronic chip which has a special code. When the ignition is switched on, this code must be recognised in order for starting to be possible.A few seconds after switching off the ignition, this system locks the engine control system, therefore preventing the engine from being started in the event of a break-in.In the event of a fault, you are informed by illumination of this warning lamp, an audible signal and a message on the screen.The vehicle will not start; contact any authorized Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or any reliable repairer as soon as possible.
