2504-1. Before driving

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, when using engine braking,
do not use the transmission in D.
Multi-mode manual transmission:
Select an appropriate gear in M position to maintain the effective-
ness of engine braking and to maintain charging system perfor-
mance.
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 30C (85F) 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. 685)

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.

UK_AURIS/AURIS_HV_EE (OM12E33E)
Use the correct tire chain size when mounting the tire chains.
Chain size is regulated for each tire size.
Side chain:
3 mm (0.12 in.) in diameter
10 mm (0.39 in.) in width
30 mm (1.18 in.) in length
Cross chain:
4 mm (0.16 in.) in diameter
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.
17-inch tires
Tire chains cannot be installed on 17-inch 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.
