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.
Load retaining partition


On the floor, behind the front seats, a vertical partition protects the driver and front passengers against the risk of load movement.
Steel or glazed partitions separate the loading area from the cab.
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.

82
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.
There must not be any empty space between the components of the load.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.

► Lift the control (without going beyond the point of resistance) and slide the assembly forwards or backwards.► Release the control when it is in the desired position.► Check that the table is secured on the runner. If this is not the case, move the assembly slightly to the next notch on the runner.
NOTIC E
You can move the table in both the open and stowed position. However, to ensure safety, it is advised that you handle the assembly in the stowed position.
WARNI NG
For the table to run smoothly, ensure that no objects are blocking the space used by the runner on the floor.Before manoeuvring the table, check that there is nothing on the table.
Unfolding

► Operate the control on the top and pull the table assembly up until it clicks into place.► Pull each table top fully up then pivot them on each side into the horizontal position.
Folding
► Raise each table top, going beyond the point of resistance, to the vertical position.► Push each table top down into its housing until it clicks into place.

► Push the control then tip the table assembly downward until it clicks into place.
WARNI NG
Before stowing the table tops, check that they are clear. Before tipping the assembly down, check that the two table tops have clicked home in the low position and that there is nothing in the cup holder area (such as a can or pen).
Cup holders
Two cups or cans and small objects (such as a credit card, portable ashtray or pen) can be carried in the middle of the unfolded table.
WARNI NG
Liquids carried in an open vessel (a cup or mug) could be spilt, presenting a risk. Be careful.Never use the table in this position while the vehicle is being driven.

86
Removal

► Raise the control fully to release the anchorages and tip the table assembly forward. ► Remove the table assembly through the sliding door in row 2.
WARNI NG
Check that there is nothing in the space around the runner on the floor, so that the table disengages cleanly.

Be careful of passengers' feet when manoeuvring the assembly.
Storage off the runner
WARNI NG
If removing the table from the vehicle for storage, ensure that it is placed in a clean area, in order to avoid introducing any foreign bodies into the mechanisms.The table must be placed outside the vehicle, on a flat and level surface, resting on the guide so as not to damage visible parts.
WARNI NG
Caution, when out of the vehicle, the table leans to the right or left when placed on a surface.


WARNI NG
Incorrect use of the table can cause serious injury.Never use the table in the open or deployed position while the vehicle is in motion. In the event of sudden braking, any object placed on the table can become a projectile.Ensure that the table is correctly stowed in
the low position before setting off.Never use the table tops as seats or lean on them.A label attached to the side of the table serves as a reminder of this.
WARNI NG
Never place hot objects such as saucepans or frying pans on the table - risk of damaging the surface and starting a fire!
WARNI NG
When the table is deployed, each table top can support a maximum of 10 kg. If you exceed the maximum weight limit, you risk damaging part or all of the table.Never lift the table when it is between individual seats; you risk damaging the table tops.


WARNI NG
Before moving the table or an individual seat forwards or backwards, make sure that the seat's backrest is upright and the table is stowed.

WARNI NG
When stowing the table tops, never place your hand inside the slide area - risk of trapping your fingers! Use the handle provided.
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.
