NOTE Do not climb or sit on the
armrest. Doing so could damage the
armrest.
NOTE The top surface of the armrest
contains a cup holder for rear seat
occupants. Refer to “Cup holder”.
WARNING
31)Do not attempt to adjust the seat while
driving. This can cause loss of vehicle
control and result in an accident. After
adjustments are made, ensure the seating
is locked in position by attempting to move
the seat forward and rearward without
using the adjusting mechanism.
32)After releasing the adjustment lever,
always check that the seat is locked on the
guides by trying to move it back and forth.
If it is not locked, the seat may move
unexpectedly and make you lose control of
the vehicle.33)For maximum safety, keep the back of
your seat upright, lean back into it and
make sure the seat belt fits closely across
your chest and pelvis.
34)Make sure the backrests are properly
secured at both sides (not visible "red
notches) to prevent them from moving
forward, in the event of sharp braking, with
possible impact with of the passengers.
35)It is extremely dangerous to ride in the
cargo area (inside or outside) of a vehicle.
Also, the cargo area and rear seats should
never be used as a play area by children. In
a collision, people or children riding
unrestrained in these areas are more likely
to be seriously injured or killed.
36)Do not allow people or children to ride
in any area of your vehicle that is not
equipped with seats and seat belts, and
make sure that everyone travelling in your
vehicle is in a seat and wearing a seat belt,
or in the case of a child is strapped in a
child restraint.
37)To minimize the risk of personal injury in
the event of a collision or sudden braking,
the seatbacks should always be in the
almost upright position while the vehicle is
in motion. The protection provided by the
seat belts may be reduced significantly
when the seatback is reclined. There is
greater risk that the passenger will slide
under the seat belt, resulting in serious
injury, when the seatback is reclined.
38)Make sure the seat is adjusted by an
adult or with adult supervision for correct
and safe operation.
39)Do not place a cushion or the like
between your back and the seatback while
driving. The effectiveness of the head
restraints will be reduced in the event of an
accident.40)The reclining mechanism of the front
manual seat's seatback is spring loaded,
causing it to fold the seatback forward
when the lock lever is operated. When
using the lever, sit close to the seatback or
hold it with your hand to control its return
motion.
41)When sliding the seats, be careful not
to catch your hand or foot.
42)If your vehicle is equipped with the rear
seat, when sliding or reclining the seat
rearward, pay careful attention to the rear
seat passengers.
IMPORTANT
10)The fabric upholstery of the seats has
been designed to withstand long-term wear
deriving from normal use of the car. Some
precautions are however required. Avoid
prolonged and/or excessive rubbing
against clothing accessories such as metal
buckles and Velcro strips which, by
applying a high pressure on the fabric in a
small area, could cause it to break, thereby
damaging the upholstery.

WARNING
43)All adjustments must only be carried
out with the vehicle stationary and the
engine off. Head restraints must be
adjusted so that the head, rather than the
neck, rests on them. Only in this case can
they protect your head correctly. To take
best advantage of the protection provided
by the head restraint, adjust the seat back
so that you are sitting up straight and your
head is as close to the head restraint as
possible.
44)Driving without the head restraints in
place can cause you and your passengers
serious injury or death in an accident. To
reduce the risk of injury in an accident,
always make sure the head restraints are
installed and properly positioned when the
seat is occupied.45)Never place a cushion or similar device
on the seatback. This can adversely affect
head restraint performance by increasing
the distance between your head and the
restraint.
46)When a person sits in the middle
seating position of the rear seat, pull up the
head restraint to a height at which it locks
in position. Be sure to make this
adjustment before starting to drive. Serious
injuries could otherwise be suffered in the
result of an impact (Double cab).
47)Make sure that the height adjusting
knob (A) is correctly adjusted as shown in
the illustration, and also lift the head
restraints to ensure that they do not come
out of the seatback.
48)The shape and size of the head
restraint differs according to the seat.
Always use the correct head restraint
provided for the seat and do not install the
head restraint in the wrong direction.

Cargo loads precautions
When loading luggage, be careful to the
following.
Stow cargo and luggage in the cargo
area whenever possible.
Distribute cargo or luggage evenly
not to be unbalanced in weight of a
load.
Do not place cargo or luggage on
the instrument panel. Also, do not stack
up cargo or luggage on the front
passenger’s seat or the rear seat.
Having the driver’s vision blocked, and
your cargo being thrown inside the
cabin if you suddenly have to brake can
cause a serious accident or injury.
WARNING
77)If a vehicle is parked on a very steep
gradient or with a side gradient, opening
the rear door or side door could cause any
unsecured items to emerge suddenly.
78)If you wish to carry a reserve of petrol
in a can, observe the legal restrictions and
only use a can that is type-approved and
properly secured to the load anchorage
eyebolts. Anyway, by doing so, you
increase the risk of fire in the event of an
accident with your vehicle.

GETTING TO KNOW YOUR VEHICLE

Instructions:For small infants, an infant carrier
should be used. For small children
whose height when seated allows the
shoulder belt to lie in contact with the
face or the throat, a child seat should
be used.
The child restraint system should be
appropriate for your child’s weight and
height and properly fit the vehicle. For a
higher degree of safety THE CHILD
RESTRAINT SYSTEM SHOULD BE
INSTALLED IN THE REAR SEAT
(Double cab and Club cab).
Before purchasing a child restraint
system, try installing it in the seat to
make sure there is a good fit. Because
of the location of the seat belt buckles
and the shape of the seat cushion, it
may be difficult to securely install some
manufacturer’s child restraint systems.
If the child restraint system can bepulled forward or to either side easily on
the seat cushion after the seat belt has
been tightened, choose another
manufacturer’s child restraint system.
138) 139) 140)
Older children
Children who have outgrown the child
restraint system should be seated in the
rear seat and wear combination lap
shoulder belt. The lap portion of the belt
should be snug and positioned low on
the abdomen so that it is below the top
of the hip-bone. Otherwise, the belt
could intrude into the child’s abdomen
during an accident and cause injury.
WARNING
123)Fit the child restraint system only
when the vehicle is stationary.
124)When possible, put children in the
rear seat. Accident statistics indicate that
children of all sizes and ages are safer
when properly restrained in the rear seat
rather than in the front seat (Club cab and
Double cab).
125)Holding a child in your arms is no
substitute for a restraint system. Failure to
use a proper restraint system can result in
severe or fatal injury to your child.
126)Each child restraint device or fixing is
to be used only by one child.127)Incorrect fitting of the child restraint
system may result in an inefficient
protection system. In the event of an
accident the child restraint system may
become loose and the child may be
injured, even fatally. When fitting a restraint
system for newborns or children, strictly
comply with the instructions provided by
the Manufacturer.
128)On the sun visor there is a label with
suitable symbols reminding the user that it
is compulsory to deactivate the airbag if a
rearward facing child restraint system is
fitted. Always comply with the instructions
on the passenger side sun visor (see the
"Supplementary Restraint System (SRS) -
Airbag" paragraph).
129)Extreme Hazard! NEVER use a
rearward facing child restraint on a seat
protected by an ACTIVE AIRBAG in front of
it, DEATH or SERIOUS INJURY to the
CHILD can occur.
130)When attaching a child restraint
system to the rear seat, prevent the front
seat from touching the child restraint
system. Otherwise, the child could be
seriously injured in the event of hard
braking or a collision (Club cab and Double
cab).
131)On vehicles with an airbag for the
front passenger, a REARWARD FACING
CHILD RESTRAINT must NOT be used in
the front passenger seat as it places an
infant too close to the passenger airbag.
The force of an inflating airbag could kill or
cause serious injuries to the child. A
rearward facing child restraint must only be
used in the rear seat. (Club cab and
Double cab).

SAFETY

132)Do not move the front or rear seat if a
child is seated on it or on the dedicated
child restraint system.
133)A FORWARD FACING CHILD
RESTRAINT should be used in the rear
seat whenever possible; if it must be used
in the front passenger seat, adjust the seat
to the most rearward position. Failure to do
so could kill or cause serious injuries to the
child.
134)Always make sure that the diagonal
section of the seat belt does not pass
under the arms or behind the back of the
child. In the event of an accident the seat
belt will not be able to secure the child,
with the risk of injury, including fatal injury.
Therefore the child must always wear the
seat belt correctly.
135)Do not use the same lower
anchorage to install more than one child
restraint system.
136)If a Universal ISOFIX child seat system
is not fixed to all three anchorages, it will
not be able to protect the child correctly. In
a crash, the child could be seriously or
fatally injured. 86)
137)Fit the child restraint system when the
car is stationary. The child restraint system
is correctly fixed to the brackets when you
hear the click. Follow the instructions for
assembly, disassembly and positioning that
the Manufacturer must supply with the
child restraint system.
138)After installation, push and pull the
child restraint system back and forth, and
side to side, to see that it is positively
secured. If the child restraint system is not
installed securely, it may cause injury to the
child or other occupants in the case of
accident or sudden stops.139)When the child restraint system is not
in use, keep your child restraint system
secured with the seat belt or remove it
from the vehicle in order to prevent it from
being thrown around inside the vehicle
during an accident.
140)After installing a child restraint system,
do not move the seat: always remove the
child restraint system before making any
adjustment.
