Trailer towing (models for model code
destination W)
◆Weight limits
Check the allowable towing capacity, GVM (Gross Vehicle Mass),
MPAC (Maximum Permissible Axle Capacity), and permissible
drawbar load before towing. ( P. 654)
◆Towing hitch/bracket
Toyota recommends the use of the Toyota hitch/bracket for your
vehicle. Other products of a suitable nature and comparable quality
may also be used.
: See “Checking your vehicle’s model” if you are not sure of which model your vehicle is.
( P. 1 1 )
Your vehicle is designed primarily as a passenger-and-load-car-
rying vehicle. Towing a trailer will have an adverse effect on han-
dling, 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
accordance with the trailer’s characteristics and operating con-
ditions.
Toyota warranties do not apply to damage or malfunction
caused by towing a trailer for commercial purposes.
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.

3724-5. Using the driving support systems
HILUX_OM_OM0K375E_(EE)
■Four-wheel drive usage frequency (vehicles with A.D.D.)
You should drive in four-wheel drive for at least 16 km (10 miles) each month.
This will assure that the front drive components are lubricated.
■ Shifting between H2 and H4
If you have trouble shifting in cold w eather, reduce your speed or stop the
vehicle and reshift.
■ Shifting to L4 (vehicles with VSC)
VSC is automatically turned off.
■ When driving on dry paved surface roads and expressway
Use H2 position. If the vehicle is driven in H4 or L4 position for a long time, a
warning buzzer sounds, and the four-wheel drive indicator light flashes rap-
idly or a warning message is shown on the multi-information display. If the
warning message is shown on the multi-information display, follow the mes-
sage.
WARNING
■ While driving
● Never turn the front-wheel drive control switch from H2 to H4 if the wheels
are slipping. Stop the slipping or spinning before shifting.
● For normal driving on dry and hard surface roads, use H2 position. Driving
on dry and hard surface roads in H4 or L4 position may cause drive com-
ponent oil leakage, seizure, or other problems resulting in an accident.
Further, it may cause tire wear and increased fuel consumption.
● Avoid turning suddenly in H4 or L4 position. If you do turn suddenly, the
difference in turning speeds between the front and rear wheels may have
a similar effect to braking, thus making driving difficult.
