TRAILER LIGHTS
Your vehicle is equipped with a wire
harness stored in the rear end under
body. Your vehicle is fitted with a sock-
et for trailer lights under the rear
bumper. Use either of them to connect
and operate the trailer lights. However,
the trailer lights must comply with fed-
eral, state/provincial and local regula-
tions. See your local recreational ve-
hicle dealer or rental agency for the
correct type of wiring and relays for
your trailer. Check for correct operation
of the turn signals and stop lights each
time you hitch up. Direct splicing may
damage your vehicle’s electrical system
and cause a malfunction of your lights.BREAKIN SCHEDULE
Toyota recommends that you do not
tow a trailer with a new vehicle or a
vehicle with any new power train com-
ponent (engine, transmission, differen-
tial, wheel bearing, etc.) for the first
800 km (500 miles) of driving.
MAINTENANCE
If you tow a trailer, your vehicle will
require more frequent maintenance due
to the additional load. For this
information, please refer to the
scheduled maintenance information in
the “Scheduled Maintenance Guide” or
“Owner ’s Manual Supplement”.
Retighten all fixing bolts of the towing
ball and bracket after approximately
1000 km (600 miles) of trailer driving.
CONNECTING A TRAILER (models with
active height control suspension only)
Stop your vehicle and a trailer in line and
perform the following: 1. Put the active height control suspen- sion in the “LO” (low) mode. Turn the
ignition switch off or push the height
control switch to turn off the active
height control suspension.
2. Connect a trailer. 3. Turn the ignition switch on or push the
height control switch to turn on the
active height control suspension. Select
the “N” (normal) mode with the height
select switch.
When a vehicle loaded with four occu-
pants tows a trailer of about 1800 kg
(4000 lb.) with more than about 180 kg
(400 lb.) tongue load, the normal mode
may not be selected with the height con-
trol indicator “LO”. However, there is no
problem to continue normal driving. Drive
with sufficient care because of large load.
DISCONNECTING A TRAILER (models
with active height control suspension
only)
Stop your vehicle and a trailer in line and
perform the following:
1. Put the active height control suspen- sion in the “LO” mode. (Make sure the
vehicle height is in the “LO” mode by
pushing the height select switch on the
“
”side.)
2. Turn the ignition switch off or push the height control switch to turn off the
active height control suspension.
3. Set the supporting leg of a trailer on the ground and raise the hitch by 100
mm (4 in.).
