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.– In row 3, be careful not to leave your feet under the row 2 seat while it is being tilted.– When a row 3 seat is in the fully folded position, ensure that the strap is correctly hooked to the Top Tether fixing of the row 2 backrest: risk of unexpected tipping of the seat.
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.

► 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
Depending on equipment, the mirrors can be folded electrically.
► From the inside, with the ignition on, place control A in the central position.► Pull control A backwards.
► Lock the vehicle from the outside.
NOTIC E
If the mirrors are folded using control A, they will not unfold when the vehicle is unlocked.
Electric unfolding
The door mirrors are unfolded electrically when the vehicle is unlocked using the remote control or key. Unless folding was selected with control A, pull the control in the central position towards the rear again.
NOTIC E
Folding/unfolding when locking/unlocking the
vehicle can be deactivated. Contact any authorized Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or any reliable repairer.If necessary, the mirrors can be folded manually.

The backrest of the central seat of the bench seat tilts to form a work table, creating a mobile office (for use while stationary).
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.

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.
Warning triangle

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.
74
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 fittings and in particular on the stowing rings, refer to the corresponding section.
WARNI NG
To avoid the risk of injury or accident, the load must be made stable so that it cannot slide, tip over, fall or be thrown. To do this, use only retaining straps that conform to current standards (DIN for example).For more information on putting straps in place, refer to the manufacturer’s user guide.To prevent the load sliding, there must not be any empty space between the load and the panels of the vehicle.As well as the straps, optimise the stability of the load with stable handling equipment (wedges, rigid blocks of wood or padding).
WARNI NG
When washing your vehicle, never clean the inside directly using a water jet.
For the Extenso cabin and
the Crew cab
WARNI NG
Do not place sharp or pointed objects in the protective cover to avoid damaging it.
WARNI NG
Do not place objects on the dashboard.Deactivate the front passenger airbag when carrying long objects.For more information on Deactivating the front passenger airbag, refer to the corresponding section.
WARNI NG
Avoid placing short or heavy loads in the protective cover; use the loading area whenever possible.
WARNI NG
Avoid anchoring loads or hanging items on the wall of the partition.For safety reasons, ensure that small objects do not slip through the gaps of about 3 cm (0 ft 1") between the partition and the vehicle's bodywork.
