●Secure all items in the occupant
compartment.
●Never allow anyone to ride in the
luggage compartment. It is not
designed for passengers. They should ride in their seats with their
seat belts properly fastened.
■Load and distribution
●Do not overload your vehicle.
●Do not apply loads unevenly. Improper loading may cause deteri-
oration of steering or braking con-
trol 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 lug- gage carrier, observe the following:
Roof rails
Cross bars
●Do not place any cargo directly onto
the roof rails. This may lead to the
cargo becoming dislodged, result- ing in an accident.
●Place the cargo so that its weight is distributed evenly between the front
and rear axles.
●If loading long or wide cargo, never
exceed the vehicle overall length or
width. (P.566)
●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 grav-
ity of the vehicle higher. Avoid high speeds, sudden starts, sharp turns,
sudden braking or abrupt maneu-
vers, otherwise it may result in loss of control or vehicle rollover due to
failure to operate this vehicle cor-
rectly 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.
■When installing cross bars (vehi-cles with roof rails)
Make sure the cross bars are installed
securely by pushing them forward and rearward.
Failure to do so may cause an unex-
pected accident.

1704-1. Before driving
Check the allowable towing capac-
ity, GVM (Gross Vehicle Mass),
MPAC (Maximum Permissible Axle
Trailer towing
For this model, only vehicles
with a towing package can tow
another vehicle. Before towing,
check the gross combination
vehicle mass and gross vehi-
cle mass described on the
information tag (manufac-
turer's label) to see whether or
not your vehicle can tow
another vehicle. ( P.171)
If the gross combination vehi-
cle mass is greater than the
gross vehicle mass, your vehi-
cle is equipped with a towing
package and can tow another
vehicle. On the other hand, if
the gross combination vehicle
mass is the same as the gross
vehicle mass, your vehicle is
not equipped with a towing
package and cannot tow
another vehicle.
Vehicles without a towing
package
Toyota does not recommend 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 towing or for the
use of tow hitch mounted carriers.
Vehicles with a towing pack-
age
Your vehicle is designed primarily as
a passenger carrying vehicle. Towing
a trailer will have an adverse effect
on handling, performance, braking,
durability, and fuel consumption. Your
safety and satisfaction depend on the
proper use of correct equipment and
cautious driving habits. For your
safety and the safety of others, do
not overload the vehicle or trailer.
To tow a trailer safely, use extreme
care and drive the vehicle in accor-
dance with the trailer’s characteris-
tics and operating conditions.
Toyota warranties do not apply to
damage or malfunction caused by
towing a trailer for commercial pur-
poses.
Ask your local authorized Toyota
retailer or Toyota authorized repairer,
or any reliable repairer for further
details before towing, as there are
additional legal requirements in some
countries.

Capacity), and permissible drawbar
load before towing. ( P.566)
Toyota recommends the use of the
Toyota hitch/bracket for your vehi-
cle. Other products of a suitable
nature and comparable quality may
also be used.
For vehicles where the towing
device blocks any of the lights or
license plate, the following shall be
observed:
 Do not use towing devices that
cannot be easily removed or
repositioned.
 Towing devices must be
removed or repositioned when
not in use.
■Total trailer weight and per-
missible drawbar load
Total trailer weight
Weight of the trailer itself plus the trailer
load should be within the maximum
towing capacity. Exceeding this weight
is dangerous. ( P.566)
When towing a trailer, use a friction
coupler or friction stabilizer (sway con-
trol device).
Permissible drawbar load
Allocate the trailer load so that the
drawbar load is greater than 25 kg
(55.1 lb.) or 4% of the towing capacity.
Do not let the drawbar load exceed the
indicated weight. ( P.566)
■Information tag (manufac-
turer’s label)
Gross combination vehicle mass
The sum of the total vehicle weight and
the weight of the trailer being towed can
be used to judge whether or not the
vehicle can be used to tow another
vehicle.
If the gross combination vehicle mass
is greater than the gross vehicle mass,
your vehicle is equipped with a towing
package and can tow another vehicle.
On the other hand, if the gross combi-
nation vehicle mass is the same as the
gross vehicle mass, your vehicle is not
equipped with a towing package and
cannot tow another vehicle.
Gross vehicle mass
The combined weight of the driver, pas-
sengers, luggage, towing hitch, total
curb mass and drawbar load should not

Important points regarding
trailer loads

1724-1. Before driving
exceed the gross vehicle mass by more
than 100 kg (220.5 lb.). Exceeding this
weight is dangerous.
Maximum permissible rear axle
capacity
The weight borne by the rear axle
should not exceed the maximum per-
missible rear axle capacity by 15% or
more. Exceeding this weight is danger-
ous. The values for towing capacity
were derived from testing conducted at
sea level. Take note that engine output
and towing capacity will be reduced at
high altitudes.

■Tire information
●Increase the tire inflation pressure to
20.0 kPa (0.2 kgf/cm2 or bar, 3 psi) greater than the recommended value
when towing. ( P.566)
●Increase the air pressure of the trailer
tires in accordance with the total
trailer weight and according to the val- ues recommended by the manufac-
turer of your trailer.
■Trailer lights
Please consult any authorized Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or
any reliable repairer when installing
trailer lights, as in correct installation may cause damage to the vehicle’s
lights. Please take care to comply with
your state’s laws when installing trailer
lights.
■Break-in schedule
Toyota recommends that vehicles fitted
with new power train components
should not be used for towing trailers for the first 800 km (500 miles).
■Safety checks before towing
●Check that the maximum load limit for the towing hitch/bracket hitch ball is
not exceeded. Bear in mind that the
coupling weight of the trailer will add to the load exerted on the vehicle.
Also make sure that you will not be
towing a load that exceeds the maxi-
mum permissible axle capacity.
●Ensure that the trailer load is secure.
●Supplementary outside rear view mir- rors should be added to the vehicle if
the traffic behind cannot be clearly
seen with standard mirrors. Adjust the extending arms of these mirrors on
both sides of the vehicle so that they
always provide maximum visibility of the road behind.
■Maintenance
●Maintenance must be performed more frequently when using the vehicle for
towing due to the greater weight bur-
den placed on the vehicle compared to normal driving.
●Retighten all bolts securing the hitch-ing ball and bracket after towing for
approximately 1000 km (600 miles).
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
NOTICE
■When the rear bumper strength-
ening material is aluminum
Ensure the steel bracket part does not
come directly in contact with that
area. When steel and aluminum come into
contact, there is a reaction similar to
corrosion, which will weaken the sec- tion concerned and may result in
damage. Apply a rust inhibitor to parts
that will come in contact when attach- ing a steel bracket.

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 cou-
pled 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 clockw ise 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 th e 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 tr ailer 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 nor-
mally do.
■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. Fre-
quently check behind when moving
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 execut-
ing lane changes.
■Transmission information
Multidrive
To maintain engine braking effi-
ciency and charging system perfor-
mance when using engine braking,
do not use the transmission in D,

1764-1. Before driving
must be in M and select gear step 4
or lower. ( P. 1 8 2 )
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.560)
■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).
WA R N I N G
Follow all the instructions described in this section. Failure to do so could
cause an accident resulting in death
or serious injury.
■Trailer towing precautions
When towing, make sure that none of the weight limits are exceeded.
( P.171)
■Vehicle speed in towing
Observe the legal maximum speeds
for trailer towing.
■Before descending hills or long declines
Reduce speed and downshift. How-
ever, never downshift suddenly while descending steep or long downhill
grades.
■Operation of the brake pedal
Do not hold the brake pedal
depressed often or for long periods of time. Doing so may result in the brake
overheating or reduce braking effects.
■To avoid accident or injury
●Vehicles with a compact spare tire:
Do not tow a trailer when the com- pact spare tire is installed on your
vehicle.
●Vehicles with the emergency tire
puncture repair kit: Do not tow a
trailer when the tire installed is repaired with the emergency tire
puncture repair kit.
●Do not use the following systems
when trailer towing.
• Cruise control (if equipped)
• Dynamic radar cruise control (if
equipped)
• Dynamic radar cruise control with
full-speed range (if equipped)
NOTICE
■Do not directly splice trailer lights
Directly splicing trailer lights may
damage your vehicle’s electrical sys- tem and cause a malfunction.
