Eco-driving
Eco-driving
Eco-driving refers to a range of everyday practices that allow the motorist to optimise their fuel consumption and CO2emissions.
Optimise your use of the gearbox
With a manual gearbox, move off gently and change up promptly. While accelerating, change up early.With an automatic gearbox, favour automatic mode and avoid pressing the accelerator pedal heavily or suddenly.The gear efficiency indicator prompts you to engage the most suitable gear: whenever this indication is displayed on the instrument panel, follow it straight away.With an automatic gearbox, this indicator appears only in manual mode.
Drive smoothly
Maintain a safe distance between vehicles, use engine braking rather than the brake pedal and press the accelerator gradually. These attitudes
help to save fuel, reduce CO2 emissions and decrease general traffic noise.If the vehicle has the steering-mounted "CRUISE" control, use cruise control at speeds above 40 km/h (25 mph) when the traffic is flowing well.
Use electrical equipment wisely
Before moving off, if the passenger compartment is too warm, ventilate it by opening the windows and air vents before using the air conditioning.At speeds above 50 km/h (31 mph), close the windows and leave the air vents open.Consider using equipment that can help keep the temperature in the passenger compartment down (sunroof blind and window blinds, etc.).Unless automatically regulated, switch off the air conditioning as soon as the desired temperature has been reached.Switch off the demisting and defrosting functions, if they are not managed automatically.Switch off the heated seat as soon as possible.Switch off the headlamps and foglamps when the visibility conditions do not require their use.Avoid running the engine before moving off, particularly in winter; your vehicle will warm up much faster while driving.As a passenger, avoid connecting your multimedia devices (film, music, video game, etc.) to help reduce consumption of electrical
energy, and hence fuel.Disconnect all portable devices before leaving the vehicle.
Limit the causes of excess consumption
Spread loads throughout the vehicle; place the heaviest items in the boot, as close as possible to the rear seats.Limit the loads carried in the vehicle and minimise wind resistance (roof bars, roof rack,
bicycle carrier, trailer, etc.). Preferably, use a roof box.Remove roof bars and roof racks after use.At the end of winter, remove snow tyres and refit summer tyres.
Comply with servicing instructions
Check tyre pressures regularly, with the tyres cold, referring to the label in the door aperture on the driver's side.Carry out this check in particular:– before a long journey.– at each change of season.– after a long period out of use.Do not overlook the spare wheel and, where applicable, the tyres on your trailer or caravan.Have your vehicle serviced regularly (engine oil, oil filter, air filter, passenger compartment filter, etc.) and observe the schedule of operations in the manufacturer's service schedule.With a Diesel engine, if the SCR system is faulty, your vehicle will emit pollution. Visit a TOYOTA dealer or a qualified workshop as soon as
possible to restore your vehicle’s nitrogen oxide emissions to regulatory compliance.When filling the fuel tank, do not continue after the third nozzle cut-out, to avoid overflow.You will only see the fuel consumption of your new vehicle settle down to a consistent average after the first 3,000 kilometres (1,900 miles).

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.
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.

WARNI NG
Once these adjustments have been made,
check that the instrument panel can be viewed correctly from your driving position.

Charging
► With the charging area clear, place a device in its centre.

When the portable device is detected, the charger’s indicator lamp lights up green. It remains lit for the whole time that the battery is being charged.
WARNI NG
The system is not designed to charge multiple devices simultaneously.


WARNI NG
Do not leave any metal objects (coins, keys, vehicle remote control, etc.) in the charging area while a device is being charged, due to the risk of overheating or interrupting the charging process.
Operating check
The state of the indicator lamp allows the
operation of the charger to be monitored.
State of the indicator lampMeaning
OffEngine switched off.No compatible devices detected.Charging finished.
Fixed greenCompatible device detected.Charging.
Flashing orangeForeign object detected in the charging zone.Device not well centred in the charging zone.
Fixed orangeFault with the device's battery meter.Device battery temperature too high.Charger malfunction.

If the indicator lamp is lit orange:– remove the device, then place it back in the centre of the charging zone.or– remove the device and try again in a quarter of an hour.If the problem persists, have the system checked by a TOYOTA dealer or a qualified workshop.
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.
WARNI NG
When washing your vehicle, never clean the inside directly using a water jet.

54
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.
For the Extenso cabin and
the Crew cab
WARNI NG
Do not place sharp or pointed objects in the protective cover to avoid damaging it.


WARNI NG
Do not place objects on the dashboard.Deactivate the front passenger airbag when carrying long objects.For more information on Deactivating the front passenger airbag, refer to the corresponding section.
WARNI NG
Avoid placing short or heavy loads in the protective cover; use the loading area whenever possible.


WARNI NG
Avoid anchoring loads or hanging items on the wall of the partition.For safety reasons, ensure that small objects do not slip through the gaps of about 3 cm (0 ft 1") between the partition and the vehicle's bodywork.
Extenso cabin

This assembly comprises the two-seat front bench seat and a removable flap.For more information on the two-seat front bench seat, refer to the corresponding section.A partition located on the floor behind the front seats protects the driver and front passengers against the risk of load movement.A movable flap in this partition can be removed to allow long items to be loaded.A protective cover is supplied with the vehicle to enable long items to be carried safely.
Removing the flap

► While holding the flap with one hand, turn the control at the top of the flap with the other hand to release it.► Lower the flap to remove it from its housing.

Moving the partition
Moving the partition forwards

► Fold the backrests of the row 2 seats and check that they are properly folded. If necessary, adjust the position of the row 1 seats (moving them forwards).► Release the upper latches A and B.► Check that the latches C and D are retracted.
► Slide the partition forwards.
► Lock the lower latches C and D and then check that the locating pins are correctly engaged in their housings.► Lock the upper latches A and B.
Moving the partition backwards
► Release the upper latches A and B.► Release the lower latches C and D.► Slide the partition backwards.► Lock the upper latches A and B.► Return the backrests of the row 2 seats to their positions.
NOTIC E
The upper stops may be adjusted if:– excessive force is needed to operate the upper latches A and B.– there is noise while driving, caused by excessive play.
NOTIC E
When the partition is locked behind the row 2 or row 1 seats, an engagement noise tells you that the upper latches are closed.
WARNI NG
Never drive with the partition unlocked.
WARNI NG
The partition must not be moved with the latches extended - risk of scratches or damage to the plastic trims!
WARNI NG
The partition must never be removed to
convert the vehicle from a commercial vehicle to a passenger vehicle.This would pose a risk to the safety of users due to the absence of a child lock on the tailgate (mandatory on passenger vehicles).
WARNI NG
Pay attention to the loading height behind the partition and the size of the long load in the protective cover: the driver must keep a good field of vision.
WARNI NG
Do not place loads between the partition and the bench seat backrest.

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.
