CAUTION
Load and distribution
Do not overload your vehicle.
Do not apply loads unevenly.
Improper loading may cause deterioration of steering or braking control
which may cause death or serious injury.
Roof luggage carrier precautions (if equipped)
To use the roof rails as a roof luggage carrier, you must fit the roof rails with
two genuine Toyota cross bars or their equivalent.
When you load cargo on the roof luggage carrier, observe the following:
Do not place any cargo directly onto the roof rails. This may lead to the
cargo becoming dislodged, resulting in an accident.
Before driving, make sure the cargo is securely fastened on the roof lug-
gage carrier.
Loading cargo on the roof luggage carrier will make the center of gravity of
the vehicle higher. Avoid high speeds, sudden starts, sharp turns, sudden
braking or abrupt maneuvers, otherwise it may result in loss of control or
vehicle rollover due to failure to operate this vehicle correctly and result in
death or serious injury.
If driving for a long distance, on rough roads, or at high speeds, stop the
vehicle occasionally during the trip to make sure the cargo remains in its
place.
Do not exceed 75 kg (165 lb.) cargo weight on the roof luggage carrier.
Place the cargo so that its weight is dis-
tributed evenly between the front and
rear axles.
If loading long or wide cargo, never
exceed the vehicle overall length or
width. (P. 584)Cross bars

Your vehicle will handle differently when towing a trailer. In order to
avoid accident, death or serious injury, keep the following in mind
when towing:
Checking connections between trailer and lights
Stop the vehicle and check the operation of the connection between
the trailer and lights after driving for a brief period as well as before
starting off.
Practicing driving with a coupled trailer
Get the feel for turning, stopping and reversing with the trailer
coupled by practicing in an area with no or light traffic.
When reversing with a coupled trailer, hold the section of the
steering wheel nearest to you and rotate clockwise to turn the
trailer left or counterclockwise to turn it right. Always rotate a little
at a time to prevent steering error. Have someone guide you
when reversing to lessen the risk of an accident.
Increasing vehicle-to-vehicle distance
At a speed of 10 km/h (6 mph), the distance to the vehicle running
ahead of you should be equivalent to or greater than the combined
length of your vehicle and trailer. Avoid sudden braking that may
cause skidding. Otherwise, the vehicle may spin out of control. This
is especially true when driving on wet or slippery road surfaces.
Sudden acceleration/steering input/cornering
Executing sharp turns when towing may result in the trailer colliding
with your vehicle. Decelerate well in advance when approaching
turns and take them slowly and carefully to avoid sudden braking.
Important points regarding turning
The wheels of the trailer will travel closer to the inside of the curve
than the wheels of the vehicle. To make allowance for this, take the
turns wider than you would normally do.

Driving
Important points regarding stability
Vehicle movement resulting from uneven road surfaces and strong
crosswinds will affect handling. The vehicle may also be rocked by
passing buses or large trucks. Frequently check behind when mov-
ing alongside such vehicles. As soon as such vehicle movement
occurs, immediately start to decelerate smoothly by slowly applying
the brakes. Always steer the vehicle straight ahead while braking.
Passing other vehicles
Consider the total combined length of your vehicle and trailer and
ensure that the vehicle-to-vehicle distance is sufficient before exe-
cuting lane changes.
Transmission information
Multidrive
To maintain engine braking efficiency and charging system perfor-
mance when using engine braking, do not use the transmission in
D, must be in M and select gear step 4 or lower. (P. 212)
Manual transmission
Refrain from driving in 6th gear to maintain the effectiveness of
engine braking and to maintain charging system performance.
If the engine overheats
Towing a loaded trailer up a long, steep incline in temperatures
exceeding 30C (85F) may result in the engine overheating. If the
engine coolant temperature gauge indicates that the engine is over-
heating, turn the air conditioning off immediately, leave the road and
stop the vehicle in a safe place. (P. 577)
When parking the vehicle
Always place wheel chocks under the wheels of both the vehicle
and trailer. Firmly set the parking brake and shift the shift lever to P
(Multidrive) and 1 or R (manual transmission).

Driving
Operate Simple-IPA according to the multi-information display and the
buzzer.
The system detects parking spaces on the front passenger’s side of the
vehicle and assists with parking in a detected space.
When parking in a space on the driver’s side of the vehicle, move the turn
signal lever to indicate turning on the driver’s seat side. Leave the turn sig-
nal lever in that position until automatic steering begins.
Turn the Simple-IPA switch on
with the vehicle driving at 30
km/h (18 mph) or less.
The multi-information display
changes to the parking space
detection screen when the system
is operating.
Drive the vehicle while main-
taining a distance of approxi-
mately 1 m (3 ft.) from the
parked vehicles.
Drive the vehicle as parallel to the
parked vehicles and curb as possi-
ble.
Lower vehicle speeds allow the
system to assist in parking the
vehicle more parallel to the parked
vehicles and curb, and in a more
proper position between vehicles
at the front and rear of a parking
space.
The required length for a parking
space to be detected is the total
vehicle length plus approximately 1
m (3 ft.).
Maintain a vehicle speed of 30
km/h (18 mph) or less.

14 mm (0.55 in.) in width
25 mm (0.98 in.) in length
Regulations regarding the use of tire chains vary depending on loca-
tion and type of road. Always check local regulations before installing
chains.
225/45R17 tires
Tire chains cannot be installed on 225/45R17 tires.
Tire chain installation
Observe the following precautions when installing and removing chains:
Install and remove tire chains in a safe location.
Install tire chains on the front tires. Do not install tire chains on the rear tires.
Install tire chains on front tires as tightly as possible. Retighten chains after
driving 0.5 1.0 km (1/4 1/2 mile).
Install tire chains following the instructions provided with the tire chains.
