When towing
Distribution of loads
F Distribute the load in the trailer so that the heaviest items are as close as possible to the axle and the nose weight approaches the maximum permitted without exceeding it.Air density decreases with altitude, thus reducing engine per formance. Above 1 000 metres, the maximum towed load must be reduced by 10 % for every 1 000 metres of altitude.
Side wind
F Take into account the increased sensitivity to side wind.
Cooling
Towing a trailer on a slope increases the temperature of the coolant.As the fan is electrically controlled, its cooling capacity is not dependent on the engine speed.F To lower the engine speed, reduce your speed.The maximum towed load on a long incline depends on the gradient and the ambient temperature.In all cases, keep a check on the coolant temperature.
F If the warning lamp and the STOP warning lamp come on, stop the vehicle and switch off the engine as soon as possible.
Braking
Towing a trailer increases the braking distance.To avoid overheating of the brakes, the use of engine braking is recommended.
Ty r e s
F Check the tyre pressures of the towing vehicle and of the trailer, observing the recommended pressures.
Lighting
F Check the electrical lighting and signalling on the trailer and the headlamp beam height of your vehicle.
For more information on Weights, refer to the corresponding section.
The rear parking sensors will be deactivated automatically to avoid the audible signal if a genuine Toyota towbar is used.
If the ambient temperature is high, it is recommended that the engine be allowed to idle for 1 to 2 minutes after the vehicle comes to a stop, to facilitate its cooling.
For more information on Adjusting the headlamp beam height, refer to the corresponding section.

Changing the coolant
The coolant does not have to be replaced at routine services.
Fluid specification
The coolant must conform to the manufacturer's recommendations.
The check and top-up must be done with the engine cold.A low coolant level presents the risk of serious damage to your engine.
If the ambient temperature is high, it
is recommended that the engine be allowed to idle for 1 to 2 minutes after the vehicle comes to a stop, to facilitate its cooling.
Avoid prolonged contact of used oil or fluids with the skin.Most of these fluids are harmful to health or indeed very corrosive.
Do not discard used oil or fluids into sewers or onto the ground.Take used oil to an authorized Toyota dealer or repairer, or another duly qualified and equipped professional (France) or to an authorised waste disposal site.
Used products
To p p i n g - u p
This additive must be topped-up by an authorized Toyota dealer or repairer, or another duly qualified and equipped professional without delay.
Diesel additive level
(Diesel engine with
particle filter)
A low additive level is indicated by illumination of this warning lamp, accompanied by an audible warning and a message in the instrument panel screen.
Fluid specification
For optimum cleaning and to avoid freezing, this fluid must not be topped up with or replaced with plain water.
Screenwash and headlamp
wash fluid
In the case of vehicles fitted with headlamp washers, the low fluid level is indicated by an audible signal and a message in the instrument panel screen.Top up the reservoir when you next stop the vehicle.
In wintry conditions, the use of an ethyl alcohol or methanol base fluid is recommended.

Checks
12 V battery
The battery does not require any maintenance.However, check regularly that the terminals are correctly tightened (versions without quick release terminals) and that the connections are clean.
Refer to the manufacturer's service schedule for details of the replacement intervals for these components.
Air filter and passenger compartment filter
Replace the oil filter each time the engine oil is changed.Refer to the manufacturer's service schedule for details of the replacement interval for this component.
Oil filter
Diesel Particle Filter (DPF)
The start of saturation of the particle filter is indicated by the temporary illumination of this warning lamp accompanied by a message in the multifunction screen.
As soon as the traffic conditions permit, regenerate the filter by driving at a speed of at least 40 mph (60 km/h) until the warning lamp goes off.If the warning lamp stays on, this indicates a low additive level.For more information on Checking levels, refer to the corresponding section.
On a new vehicle, the first particle filter regeneration operations may be accompanied by a "burning" smell, which is per fectly normal.Following prolonged operation of the
vehicle at very low speed or at idle, you may, in exceptional circumstances, notice the emission of water vapour at the exhaust on acceleration. This does not affect the behaviour of the vehicle or the environment.
Unless other wise indicated, check these components in accordance with the manufacturer's service schedule and according to your engine.Other wise, have them checked by an authorized Toyota dealer or repairer, or another duly qualified and equipped professional.
For more information and the precautions to take before starting work on the 12 V batter y, refer to the corresponding section.
Depending on the environment (e.g. dusty atmosphere) and the use of the vehicle (e.g. city driving), replace them twice as often if necessar y.A clogged passenger compartment filter may have an adverse effect on the per formance of the air conditioning system and generate undesirable odours.
Versions equipped with Stop & Start are fitted with a 12 V lead-acid battery of specific technology and specification.Its replacement should be carried out only by an authorized Toyota dealer or repairer, or another duly qualified and equipped professional.

Engines
Engine characteristics
The engine characteristics (capacity, maximum power, maximum power speed, fuel, CO2 emissions...) for your vehicle are given in the registration document, as well as in sales brochures.These characteristics correspond to the values type-approved on a test bed, under conditions defined in European legislation (Directive 1999/99/EC).For more information, contact an authorized Toyota dealer or repairer, or another duly qualified and equipped professional.
Weights
The kerb weight is equal to the unladen weight + driver (75 kg).The GTW and towed load values indicated apply up to a maximum altitude of 1 000 metres; the towed load mentioned must be reduced by 10 % for every additional 1 000 metres.The weight of the braked trailer can be increased, within the GTW limit, on condition that the GV W of the towing vehicle is reduced by the same amount.The recommended nose weight is the vertical load on the towbar ball (removable with or without tools).
High ambient temperatures may result in a reduction in the per formance of the vehicle to protect the engine; when the ambient temperature is higher than 37 °C, limit the towed weight.
If the ambient temperature is high, it is recommended that the engine be allowed to idle for 1 to 2 minutes after the vehicle comes to a stop, to facilitate its cooling.
Towing with a lightly loaded vehicle can adversely affect roadholding.Braking distances are increased when towing a trailer.Never exceed 60 mph (100 km/h) when towing (comply with the legislation in force in your country).
GV W: gross vehicle weight, the maximum authorised vehicle weight.GT W: gross train weight, the maximum authorised weight of vehicle plus trailer.
Weights and towed
loads
The maximum weights and towed loads for your vehicle are given are given in the registration document, as well as in sales brochures.These values are also present on the manufacturer's plate or label.For more information, contact an authorized Toyota dealer or repairer, or another duly qualified and equipped professional.
