WARNI NG
When driving, keep the glove box closed. Otherwise, there is a risk of injury in the event of an accident or sudden braking.
Lateral airbags

If fitted to the vehicle, this system protects the driver and front passenger in the event of a serious side impact, limiting the risk of injury to the chest, between the abdomen and head.Each lateral airbag is mounted in the seat backrest frame, on the door side.
Deployment
They are deployed on one side in the event of a serious side impact applied to all or part
of the side impact zone, perpendicular to the longitudinal centreline of the vehicle on a horizontal plane and directed from the outside towards the inside of the vehicle.The lateral airbag inflates between the front occupant's abdomen and head and the associated door trim panel.
Curtain airbags
If fitted to the vehicle, this system offers enhanced protection for the driver and passenger in the event of a serious side impact, limiting the risk of injury to the side of the head.Each curtain airbag is built into the pillars and the upper passenger compartment area.
NOTIC E
With the two-seat front bench seat, the passenger sitting in the centre is not protected.
Deployment
They are deployed on one side in the event of a serious side impact applied to all or part of the side impact zone, perpendicular to the longitudinal centreline of the vehicle on a horizontal plane and directed from the outside towards the inside of the vehicle.The curtain airbag inflates between the outer rear passenger and the windows.
Malfunction
If this warning lamp comes on in the instrument panel, you must contact a TOYOTA dealer or a qualified workshop to have the system checked.The airbags may not be deployed in the event of a serious impact.

92
WARNI NG
In the event of a minor impact or bump at the side of the vehicle or if the vehicle rolls over, the airbags may not be deployed.In the event of a rear or front collision, none of the lateral airbags are deployed.
Advice
WARNI NG
For the airbags to be fully effective, observe the safety recommendations below.Adopt a normal upright sitting position.Fasten the seat belt ensuring it is correctly positioned and adjusted.Do not leave anything between the occupants and the airbags (a child, pet, object, etc.), nor fix or attach anything close to or in the way of the airbag release trajectory; this could cause injuries during their deployment.Do not place objects on the dashboard.Never modify the original definition of your vehicle, particularly in the area directly around the airbags.After an accident or if the vehicle has been stolen, have the airbag systems checked.
All work on the airbag systems must only be performed by a TOYOTA dealer or a qualified workshop.Even if all of the precautions mentioned are observed, a risk of injury or of minor burns to the head, chest or arms cannot be ruled out when an airbag is deployed. The airbag inflates almost instantly (within a few milliseconds) then deflates within the same time discharging the hot gas via openings provided for this purpose.
WARNI NG
Front airbagsDo not drive holding the steering wheel by its spokes or resting your hands on the centre part of the wheel.Passengers must not place their feet on the dashboard.Do not smoke as deployment of the airbags can cause burns or the risk of injury from a
cigarette or pipe.Never remove or pierce the steering wheel or hit it violently.Do not fix or attach anything to the steering wheel or dashboard, as this could cause injuries when the airbags are deployed.
WARNI NG
Lateral airbagsUse only approved covers on the seats, compatible with the deployment of the lateral airbags. For information on the range of seat covers suitable for your vehicle, contact a TOYOTA dealer.Do not fix or attach anything to the seat backrests (clothes, etc.), as this could cause injuries to the thorax or arm when the lateral airbag is deployed.Do not sit with the upper part of the body any nearer to the door than necessary.The vehicle's front door panels include side impact sensors.A damaged door or any unauthorised or incorrectly executed work (modification or repair) on the front doors or their interior trim could compromise the operation of these sensors - risk of malfunction of the lateral airbags!Such work must only be done by a TOYOTA
dealer or a qualified workshop.

WARNI NG
Curtain airbagsDo not fix or attach anything to the roof, as this could cause head injuries when the curtain airbag is deployed.Do not remove the grab handles installed on the roof, as they play a part in securing the curtain airbags.
Child seats
NOTIC E
The regulations on carrying children are specific to each country. Refer to the legislation in force in your country.
For maximum safety, please observe the following recommendations:– In accordance with European regulations, all children under the age of 12 or less than 150 cm (4 ft 11”) tall must travel in approved child seats suited to their weight, on seats fitted with a seat belt or ISOFIX mountings.– Statistically, the safest seats in your vehicle for carrying children are the rear seats.– Children weighing less than 9 kg (20 lb) must travel in the "rear facing" position, whether in the front or rear of the vehicle.
NOTIC E
It is recommended that children travel on the rear seats of the vehicle:– ‘rear facing’ up to the age of 3,– ‘forward facing’ over the age of 3.
WARNI NG
Make sure that the seat belt is correctly positioned and tightened.For child seats with a support leg, ensure that the support leg is in firm and steady contact with the floor.
WARNI NG
Remove and stow the head restraint before installing a child seat with backrest on a passenger seat. Refit the head restraint once the child seat has been removed.
Advice
WARNI NG
An incorrectly installed child seat compromises the child's safety in the event of an accident.Ensure that there is no seat belt or seat belt buckle under the child seat, as this could destabilise it.
Remember to fasten the seat belts or the harness of child seats, keeping the slack relative to the child's body to a minimum, even for short journeys.When installing a child seat using the seat belt, ensure that the seat belt is tightened correctly on the child seat and that it secures the child seat firmly on the seat of the vehicle. If the passenger seat is adjustable, move it forwards if necessary.Remove the head restraint before installing a child seat with a backrest on a passenger seat.Ensure that the head restraint is stored or attached securely to prevent it from being thrown around the vehicle in the event of sharp braking. Refit the head restraint once the child seat has been removed.

94
WARNI NG
Installing a booster seatThe chest part of the seat belt must be positioned on the child's shoulder without touching the neck.Ensure that the lap part of the seat belt passes correctly over the child's thighs.Use a booster seat with backrest, equipped with a belt guide at shoulder level.
WARNI NG
Additional protectionsTo prevent accidental opening of the doors and rear windows, use the "Child lock".Take care not to open the rear windows by more than one third.To protect young children from the rays of the sun, fit side blinds on the rear windows.As a safety precaution, do not leave:– a child alone and unattended in a vehicle,– a child or an animal in a vehicle which is exposed to the sun, with the windows closed,– the keys within reach of children inside the vehicle.

Driving recommendations
► Observe the driving regulations and remain vigilant whatever the traffic conditions.► Monitor your environment and keep your hands on the wheel to be able to react to anything that may happen any time.► Drive smoothly, anticipate the need for braking and maintain a longer safety distance, especially in bad weather.► Stop the vehicle to carry out operations that require close attention (such as adjustments).► During long trips, take a break every two hours.
Important!
WARNI NG
Never leave the engine running in a closed space without sufficient ventilation. Internal combustion engines emit toxic exhaust gases such as carbon monoxide. Danger of poisoning and death!
WARNI NG
In very severe wintry conditions (temperature below -23°C), let the engine run for 4 minutes
before moving off, to ensure the correct operation and durability of the mechanical components of your vehicle (engine and gearbox).
WARNI NG
Never drive with the parking brake applied. Risk of overheating and damaging the braking system!
WARNI NG
Do not park the vehicle or leave the engine
running on a flammable surface (e.g. dry grass, dead leaves).The vehicle exhaust system is very hot, even several minutes after the engine stops. Risk of fire!
WARNI NG
Never leave a vehicle unattended with the engine running. If you have to leave your vehicle with the engine running, apply the parking brake and put the gearbox into neutral or position N or P (depending on the type of gearbox).
WARNI NG
Never leave children inside the vehicle unsupervised.
WARNI NG
Never drive on surfaces covered with vegetation (tall grass, accumulation of dead leaves, harvest, remains) such as a field, a bushy countryside path, a road's shoulder.These plants may come into contact with the vehicle's exhaust system or some systems that are very hot. Risk of fire!
On flooded roads
We strongly advise against driving on flooded roads, as this could cause serious damage to the engine or gearbox, as well as to the electrical systems of your vehicle.

If you are obliged to drive on a flooded road:► check that the depth of water does not exceed 15 cm (0 ft 5”), taking account of waves that might be generated by other users,► deactivate the Stop & Start function,► drive as slowly as possible without stalling. In all cases, do not exceed 10 km/h (6 mph),► do not stop and do not switch off the engine.

100
On leaving the flooded road, as soon as safety conditions allow, make several light brake applications to dry the brake discs and pads.If in doubt about the state of your vehicle, contact a TOYOTA dealer or a qualified workshop.
In case of towing
WARNI NG
Driving with a trailer places greater demands on the towing vehicle and requires extra care from the driver.
NOTIC E
Respect the maximum towable weights.At altitude: reduce the maximum load by 10% per 1,000 metres (3,280 ft) of altitude; the density of the air decreases with altitude and the performance of the engine reduces.
WARNI NG
New vehicle: do not pull a trailer before having driven at least 1,000 kilometres (620 miles).
NOTIC E
If the outside temperature is high, let the engine idle for 1 to 2 minutes after the vehicle comes to a stop, to help it to cool.
Before setting off
Nose weight
► Distribute the load in the trailer so that the heaviest items are as close as possible to the axle and the nose weight (at the point where it joins your vehicle) approaches the maximum permitted without exceeding it.
Tyres
► Check the tyre pressures of the towing vehicle and of the trailer, observing the recommended pressures.
Lighting
► Check the electrical signalling on the trailer and the headlamp beam height of your vehicle.
NOTIC E
If a genuine TOYOTA towing device is used, the rear parking sensors will be deactivated automatically to avoid the audible signal.
When driving
Cooling
Towing a trailer uphill increases the temperature of the coolant. The maximum towable load depends on the gradient and the exterior temperature. The cooling capacity of the fan does not increase with engine speed.► Reduce speed and lower the engine speed, so as to limit the heating-up.In all cases, pay attention to the coolant temperature.If this warning lamp and the STOP warning lamp come on, stop the vehicle and switch off the engine as soon as possible.
Brakes
Braking distances are increased when towing a trailer. To avoid overheating of the brakes, the use of engine braking is recommended.
Side wind
Bear in mind the increased susceptibility to the wind that the vehicle will have.
