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 fittings and in particular on the stowing rings, refer to the corresponding section.

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.

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. Its specific active additive
helps protect against polluting gases and bad smells.► To ensure correct operation of the air conditioning system, have it checked according to the recommendations in the Manufacturer's service schedule.


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.
NOTIC E
ECO driving modeSelecting this mode reduces electrical energy consumption, but restricts the performance of the heating and air conditioning systems, although it does not deactivate them.

Air flow
► Turn the thumbwheel 2 to obtain a
comfortable air flow.

88
NOTIC E
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
► Pressing button 3 successively directs the air flow towards:– windscreen, side windows and footwells, – footwells,– central vents, side vents and footwells,– windscreen, side windows, central vents, side vents and footwells,– central and side vents, – windscreen and side windows (demisting or defrosting).
Air conditioning
With the engine running, the air conditioning is designed to operate effectively in all seasons, with the windows closed.It enables you to:– lower the temperature in summer,– enhance the effectiveness of the demisting function in winter, above 3°C.
On/Off
► Press button 5 to activate/deactivate the air conditioning system.When the air conditioning is in operation, to cool the air more quickly, you can use interior air recirculation for a few moments by pressing button 4. Then restore the intake of exterior air.
NOTIC E
The air conditioning does not operate when the air flow adjustment is set to off.
WARNI NG
Switching the system off could result in discomfort (humidity, misting).

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.
"Mono" function
The comfort setting for the passenger side can be indexed to the driver's comfort setting (mono-zone).
► Press the corresponding button 8 to activate/deactivate the function.The indicator lamp in the button comes on when the function is activated.The function is deactivated automatically if a passenger uses the temperature control.

Air flow
► Press the buttons 2 to increase/decrease the air flow.The air flow symbol (a fan) appears. It is filled in or emptied gradually, according to the value set.
Interior air recirculation
The intake of exterior air prevents the formation
of mist on the windscreen and side windows.Recirculating the interior air isolates the passenger compartment from outside odours and fumes and allows the desired passenger compartment temperature to be achieved more rapidly.► Press this button to activate/deactivate the function (confirmed by the illumination/extinction of the indicator lamp).
