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.

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
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

Driving aidsYou should hold the steering wheel with both hands, always use the interior and exterior rear view mirrors, always keep the feet close to the pedals and take a break every two hours.
NOTIC E
Manoeuvring aidsThe driver must always check the surroundings of the vehicle before and during the whole manoeuvre, in particular using the mirrors.
WARNI NG
Radar(s)The operation of the radar(s), along with any associated functions, may be affected by the accumulation of dirt (e.g. mud, ice), in poor weather conditions (e.g. heavy rain, snow), or if the bumpers are damaged.If the front bumper is to be repainted, contact any authorized Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or any reliable repairer; certain types of paint could interfere with the operation of the radar(s).
WARNI NG
Driving aids cameraThis camera and its associated functions may be impaired or not work if the windscreen area in front of the camera is dirty, misty, frosty, covered with snow, damaged or masked by a sticker.In humid and cold weather, demist the windscreen regularly.Poor visibility (inadequate street lighting, heavy rain, thick fog, snowfall), dazzle (headlamps of an oncoming vehicle, low sun, reflections on a damp road, leaving a tunnel, alternating shade and light) can also impair
detection performance.In the event of a windscreen replacement, contact any authorized Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or any reliable repairer to recalibrate the camera; otherwise, the operation of the associated driving aids may be disrupted.
NOTIC E
Other camerasThe images from the camera(s) displayed on the touch screen or on the instrument panel may be distorted by the terrain.In the presence of areas in shade, or in conditions of bright sunlight or inadequate lighting, the image may be darkened and with lower contrast.Obstacles may appear further away than they actually are.
WARNI NG
SensorsThe operation of the sensors, as well as any associated functions, may be disrupted by noise pollution such as that emitted by noisy vehicles and machinery (e.g. lorries, pneumatic drills), by the accumulation of snow or dead leaves on the road or in the
event of damaged bumpers and mirrors.When reverse gear is engaged, an audible signal (long beep) indicates that the sensors may be dirty.A front or rear impact to the vehicle can upset the sensors’ settings, which is not always detected by the system: distance measurements may be distorted.
156
The sensors do not systematically detect obstacles that are too low (pavements, studs) or too thin (trees, posts, wire fences).Certain obstacles located in the sensors’ blind spots may not be detected or may no longer be detected during the manoeuvre.Certain materials (fabrics) absorb sound waves: pedestrians may not be detected.
NOTIC E
MaintenanceClean the bumpers and door mirrors and the field of vision of the cameras regularly.When washing your vehicle at high pressure, direct the spray from at least 30 cm away from the radar, sensors and cameras.
WARNI NG
Mats/Pedal trimsThe use of mats or pedal trims not approved
by TOYOTA may interfere with the operation of the speed limiter or cruise control.To avoid any risk of jamming the pedals:– Ensure that the mat is secured correctly.– Never fit one mat on top of another.
NOTIC E
Units of speedEnsure that the units of speed displayed on the instrument panel (km/h or mph) are those for the country you are driving in.If this is not the case, when the vehicle is stationary, set the display to the required units of speed so that it complies with what is authorised locally.In case of doubt, contact any authorized Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or any reliable repairer.
