(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.178)
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.496)
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.

compartment.
■Capacity and distribution
●Do not exceed the maximum
axle weight rating or the total
vehicle weight rating.
●Even if the tota l 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 deteriorat ion of steering
or braking control which may
cause death or serious injury.
NOTICE

■Total load capacity and seating
capacity
These details are also described on
the tire and loading information
label. ( P.428)
Vehicle load limits
Vehicle load limits include
total load capacity, seating
capacity, towing capacity
and cargo capacity.
 Total load capacity (vehicle
capacity weight): P.496
Total load capacity means the
combined weight of occu-
pants, cargo and luggage.
 Seating capacity:  P.496
Seating capacity means the
maximum number of occu-
pants whose estimated aver-
age weight is 150 lb. (68 kg)
per person.
 TWR (Trailer Weight Rat-
ing)
Toyota does not recommend
towing a trailer with your vehi-
cle.
 Cargo capacity
Cargo capacity may increase
or decrease depending on the
weight and the number of
occupants.
WARNING
■Overloading the vehicle

■Operating conditions
When the driving mode select
switch is not in Eco drive mode.
■Temporary cancelation of the
ASC system functions
The ASC system may be temporar-
ily canceled depending on the driv-
ing conditions, such as when the
tires slip due to sudden accelera-
tion.
The tones may not sound if the driv-
ing mode is switched continuously
in short time periods.
When the H2O switch pressed
while the “READY” indicator is
on, the vehicle purges water.
When the switch is pressed
again, purging stops.
System purging and purging com-
plete messages are displayed in
the multi-information display.
■Water release function during
cold weather
In the following cases, the fuel cell
system automatic drainage may not
operate. It may not be possible to
start the fuel cell system due to the
fuel cell stack, hyd rogen pipes, etc.,
being frozen.
●When transporting or towing the
ASC (Active Sound
Control)*
The ASC is a system that
conveys the operating con-
ditions, such as accelera-
tion and deceleration of the
vehicle, with sounds to the
driver. The vehicle’s reac-
tion with regards to the
driver’s acceleration and
brake operations are con-
veyed with sound. The
respective tone changes for
normal mode and sport
mode. ( P.320)
Water release (H2O
switch)
When the fuel cell system is
stopped, water is automati-
cally purged from the tail-
pipe.
To minimize water accumu-
lation at parking garages,
etc., purge can be done
manually before parking.
