750 (5  150) = 650 lbs.)
(5) Determine the combined
weight of luggage and cargo
being loaded on the vehicle.
That weight may not safely
exceed the available cargo and
luggage load capacity calcu-
lated in Step 4.
(6) If your vehicle will be towing
a trailer, load from your trailer
will be transferred to your vehi-
cle. Consult this manual to
determine how this reduces the
available cargo and luggage
load capacity of your vehicle.
( P.152)
Toyota does not recommend towing
a trailer with your vehicle. Your
vehicle is not designed for trailer
towing.
Cargo capacity
Total load capacity (vehicle
capacity weight) ( P.392)
When 2 people with the com-
bined weight of A lb. (kg) are rid-
ing in your vehicle, which has a total load capacity (vehicle
capacity weight) of B lb. (kg),
the available amount of cargo
and luggage load capacity will
be C lb. (kg) as follows:
B
*2 lb. (kg) - A*1 lb. (kg) = C*3 lb.
(kg)
*1: A =Weight of people
*2: B =Total load capacity
*3: C =Available cargo and luggage load
In this condition, if 3 more passen-
gers with the combined weight of D
lb. (kg) get on, the available cargo
and luggage load will be reduced E
lb. (kg) as follows:
C lb. (kg) - D*4 lb. (kg) = E*5 lb.
(kg)
*4: D =Additional weight of people
*5: E =Available cargo and luggage load
As shown in the example above,
if the number of occupants
increases, the cargo and lug-
gage load will be reduced by an
amount that equals the
increased weight due to the
additional occupants. In other
words, if an increase in the num-
ber of occupants causes an
excess of the total load capacity
(combined weight of occupants
plus cargo and luggage load),
you must reduce the cargo and
luggage on your vehicle.

WARNING
■Things that must not be car-
ried in the trunk
The following things may cause a
fire if loaded in the trunk:
●Receptacles co ntaining gaso-
line
●Aerosol cans
■Storage precautions
Observe the following precau-
tions.
Failure to do so m ay prevent the
pedals from being depressed
properly, may block the driver’s
vision, or may result in items hit-
ting the driver or passengers, pos-
sibly causing an accident.
●Stow cargo and luggage in the
trunk whenever possible.
●To prevent cargo and luggage
from sliding forward during
braking, do not stack anything in
the enlarged trunk. Keep cargo
and luggage low, as close to the
floor as possible.
●When you fold down the rear
seats, long items should not be
placed directly behind the front
seats.
●Do not place cargo or luggage
in or on the following locations.
• At the feet of the driver
• On the front passenger or rear seats (when stacking items)
• On the package tray
• On the instrument panel
• On the dashboard
●Secure all items in the occupant
compartment.
●Never allow anyon e to ride in
the enlarged trunk. It is not
designed for passengers. They
should ride in their seats with
their seat belts properly fas-
tened.
■Capacity and distribution
●Do not exceed the maximum
axle weight rating or the total
vehicle weight rating.
●Even if the total load of occu-
pant’s weight and the cargo
load is less than the total load
capacity, do not apply the load
unevenly. Improper loading may
cause deterioration of steering
or braking control which may
cause death or serious injury.

1524-1. Before driving
■Total load capacity and seating
capacity
These details are also described on
the tire and loading information
label. ( P.328)
Vehicle load limits
Vehicle load limits include
total load capacity, seating
capacity, towing capacity
and cargo capacity.
 Total load capacity (vehicle
capacity weight): P.392
Total load capacity means the
combined weight of occupants,
cargo and luggage.
 Seating capacity:  P.392
Seating capacity means the max-
imum number of occupants
whose estimated average weight
is 150 lb. (68 kg) per person.
Towing capacity
Toyota does not recommend tow-
ing a trailer with your vehicle.
Cargo capacity
Cargo capacity may increase or
decrease depending on the
weight and the number of occu-
pants.
WARNING
■Overloading the vehicle
Do not overload the vehicle.
It may not only cause damage to
the tires, but also degrade steer-
ing and braking ability, resulting in
an accident.
Trailer towing
Toyota does not recom-
mend towing a trailer with
your vehicle. Toyota also
does not recommend the
installation of a tow hitch or
the use of a tow hitch carrier
for a wheelchair, scooter,
bicycle, etc. Your vehicle is
not designed for trailer tow-
ing or for the use of tow
hitch mounted carriers.

on the upper portion of the
windshield to detect the
brightness of the lights of
vehicles ahead, street-
lights, etc., and automati-
cally changes the head
lights between the high
beams and low beams.
WARNING

assist systems and contrib-
utes to a safe and comfort-
able driving experience:
WARNING
■Toyota Safety Sense 3.0
The Toyota Safety Sense 3.0
operates under the assumption
that the driver will drive safely,
and is designed to help reduce
the impact to the occupants in a
collision and assist the driver
under normal driving conditions.
As there is a limit to the degree of
recognition accuracy and control
performance that this system can
provide, do not ov erly rely on this
system. The driver is solely
responsible for paying attention to
the vehicle’s surroundings and
driving safely.
■For safe use
●Do not overly rely on this sys-
tem. The driver is solely respon-
sible for paying attention to the
vehicle’s surroundings and driv-
ing safely. This system may not
operate in all situations and pro-
vided assistance is limited.
Over-reliance on this system to
drive the vehicle safely may
lead to an accident resulting in
death or serious injury.
●Do not attempt to test the oper-
ation of the system, as it may
not operate properly, possibly
leading to an accident.
●If attention is necessary while
performing driving operations or
a system malfunction occurs, a
warning message or warning
buzzer will be operated. If a
warning message is displayed
on the display, follow the
instructions displayed.
●Depending on external noise,
the volume of the audio system,
etc. it may be difficult to hear the
warning buzzer. Also, depend-
ing on the road conditions, it
may be difficult to recognize the
operation of the system.
■When it is necessary to dis-
able the system
In the following si tuations, make
sure to disable the system.
Failure to do so may lead to the
system not operating properly,
possibly leading to an accident
resulting in death o r serious injury.
