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.
WA R N I N G
■When loading cargo on the
roof luggage carrier (if
equipped)
Observe the following precau-
tions:
●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.658)
●Before driving, make sure the
cargo is securel y fastened on
the roof luggage carrier.
●Loading cargo on the roof lug-
gage carrier will make the cen-
ter of gravity of the vehicle
higher. Avoid high speeds, sud-
den starts, sharp turns, sudden
braking or abrupt maneuvers,
otherwise it may result in loss of
control or vehicle rollover due to
failure to operate this vehicle
correctly and resu lt in death or
serious injury.
●If driving for a long distance, on
rough roads, or at high speeds,
stop the vehicle now and then
during the trip to make sure the
cargo remains in its place.
●Do not exceed 176.4 lb. (80 kg)
cargo weight on the roof lug-
gage carrier.
NOTICE
■When loading cargo on the
roof luggage carrier (if

Be careful not to scratch the sur-
face of the moon roof (if
equipped) or the panoramic moon
roof (if equipped).

■Hitch
Trailer hitch assemblies have dif-
ferent weight capacities estab-
lished by the hitch manufacturer.
Even though the vehicle may be
physically capable of towing a
higher weight, the operator must
determine the maximum weight
rating of the pa rticular hitch
assembly and never exceed the
maximum weight rating specified
for the trailer-hitch. Exceeding the
maximum weight rating set by the
trailer-hitch manufacturer can
cause an accident resulting in
death or serious personal injuries.
NOTICE
■When installing a trailer hitch
Use only the position recom-
mended by your Toyota dealer.
Do not install the trailer hitch on
the bumper; this may cause body
damage.

left. Move your hand to the
right to move the trailer to
right. (This is generally oppo-
site to reversing without a
trailer attached.) Avoid sharp
or prolonged turning. Have
someone guide you when
reversing to reduce the risk of
an accident.
 As stopping distance is
increased when towing a
trailer, vehicle-to vehicle dis-
tance should be increased.
For each 10 mph (16 km/h) of
speed, allow at least one
vehicle and trailer length.
 Avoid sudden braking as you
may skid, resulting in the
trailer jackknifing and a loss of
vehicle control. This is espe-
cially true on wet or slippery
surfaces.
 Avoid jerky starts or sudden
acceleration.
 Avoid jerky steering and
sharp turns, and slow down
before making turn.
 Note that when making a turn,
the trailer wheels will be
closer than the vehicle wheels
to the inside of the turn. Com-
pensate by making a wider
than normal turning radius.
 Slow down before making a
turn, in cross winds, on wet or
slippery surfaces, etc.
Increasing vehicle speed can
destabilize the trailer.
Take care when passing other
vehicles. Passing requires
considerable distance. After
passing a vehicle, do not for-
get the length of your trailer,
and be sure you have plenty
of room before changing
lanes.
 To maintain engine braking
efficiency and charging sys-
tem performance when using
engine braking, do not put the
transmission in D. If in the S
mode, the transmission shift
range position must be in 6 or
lower.
 Instability happens more fre-
quently when descending
steep or long downhill grades.
Before descending, slow
down and downshift. Do not
make sudden downshifts
while descending steep or
long downhill grades.
 Avoid holding the brake pedal
down too long or applying the
brakes too frequently. This
could cause the brakes to
overheat and result in
reduced braking efficiency.
 Due to the added load of the
trailer, your vehicle’s engine
may overheat on hot days (at
temperatures over 85°F
[30°C]) when driving up a long
or steep grade. If the engine
coolant temperature gauge
indicates overheating, imme-
diately turn off the air condi-

the Stop & Start system, the
engine may restart automatically
in the following situations: (To
enable the engine to be stopped
by the Stop & Start system again,
drive the vehicle.)
• When the brake pedal is pumped
or strongly depressed.
• When the air conditioning system is being used.
• When a switch of the air condition- ing system is operated (windshield
defogger switch, etc.).
• The battery is not sufficiently charged.
■When the hood is opened
●If the hood is opened while the
engine is stopped by the Stop &
Start system, the engine will stall
and will not be able to be restarted
by the automatic engine start
function. In this case, restart the
engine using the normal engine
starting procedure. ( P.194, 195)
●If the hood is closed after the
engine is started with the hood
open, the Stop & Start system will
not operate. Close the hood, turn
the engine switch off, wait 30 sec-
onds or more, and then start the
engine.
■Air conditioning system opera-
tion while the engine is stopped
by the Stop & Start system
Vehicles with an automatic air con-
ditioning system: When the air con-
ditioning is in automatic mode and
the engine is stopped by the Stop &
Start system, the fan may operate at
a low speed in order to prevent the
temperature in the cabin from
increasing or decreasing or may be
stopped.
To prioritize air conditioning system
performance when the vehicle is
stopped, disable the Stop & Start
system by pressing the Stop & Start
cancel switch.
●If the windshield is fogged up
Turn the windshield defogger on. (
 P.505, 505)
If the windshield fogs up frequently,
press the Stop & Start cancel switch
to disable the Stop & Start system.
●If an odor is emitted from the air
conditioning system
• Vehicles with a manual air condi-
tioning system:
If the idling stop time setting is set
to “Extended”, change it to “Stan-
dard”. If an odor is emitted when
the idling stop time setting is set to
“Standard”, press the Stop & Start
cancel switch to deactivate the
Stop & Start system.
• Vehicles with a n automatic air
conditioning system:
Press the Stop & Start cancel
switch to deactivate the Stop &
Start system.
■Changing the idling stop time
with the air conditioning system
on
The length of time the Stop & Start
system will operate when the air
conditioning system is on can be
changed in of the multi-informa-
tion display ( P.94). (The length of
time the Stop & Start system will
operate when the a ir conditioning
system is off cann ot be changed.)
■Displaying the Stop & Start sys-
tem status
After Start:
Displays the cumulative time that
the engine is stopped by the Stop &
Start system from when the engine
is started until the engine is
stopped.
This item is reset each time the
engine stops.

sages

shift lever can be shifted from P,
there may be a problem with the
shift lock system. Have the vehi-
cle inspected by your Toyota
dealer immediately.
Vehicles without 235/55R19
101V tires
Use the correct tire chain size
when mounting the tire chains.
Chain size is regulated for each
tire size.
Side chain:
0.12 in. (3 mm) in diameter
0.39 in. (10 mm) in width
1.18 in. (30 mm) in length
Cross chain:
0.16 in. (4 mm) in diameter
0.55 in. (14 mm) in width 0.98 in. (25 mm) in length
Vehicles with 235/55R19
101V tires
Tire chains cannot be mounted.
Snow tires should be used
instead.
Regulations regarding the use
of tire chains vary depending on
location and type of road.
Always check local regulations
before installing chains.
■Tire chain installation
Observe the followi ng precautions
when installing and removing
chains:
●Install and remove tire chains in a
safe location.
●Install tire chains on the front tires
only. Do not install tire chains on
the rear tires.
●Install tire chains on front tires as
tightly as possible. Retighten
chains after drivi ng 1/4 - 1/2 mile
(0.5 - 1.0 km).
●Install tire chains following the
instructions provided with the tire
chains.
