TOW/HAUL switch (if equipped)
“Tow/Haul” mode is ideal for use when carrying heavy loads. When t\
he TOW/HAUL
switch is pressed, throttle response and transmission control are optimi\
zed for the
high performance operation. As fuel economy is reduced while in “Tow/\
Haul” mode,
deactivating when driving without a load is recommended.

ranges, enhancing power performance during towing and preventing
repeated gear changes.
t Downshifts occur at a greater accelerator pedal angle to allow the
vehicle to stay in a higher gear, reducing repeated gear changes.
t Downshifts occur at a lower accelerator pedal angle to allow the
vehicle to stay in a lower gear, enhancing towing ability.
t When the accelerator pedal is wide open, upshift timing is optimized to
effectively use the maximum engine power range available. When Tow/Haul is engaged, the opening angle of the electronically
controlled throttle is wider for any given accelerator pedal position th\
an
normal, enhancing acceleration feeling and response.
t During uphill driving, the gear position is held to prevent repeated ups\
hifting.
t During downhill driving, downshifting to lower gears will occur to effec\
tively use
engine braking.
Refer to the Owner‘s Manual for more details on this system before at\

Always align the marks
Trailer sway may occur when towing a trailer due to strong crosswinds, u\
neven and/
or winding road conditions or the driver’s steering input.
Trailer Sway Control uses sensors to detect trailer sway and then simult\
aneously
and automatically helps to suppress the swaying motion of the trailer by\
integrating
brake and engine torque control to reduce speed and to help quickly cont\
rol the
swaying motion of the trailer.

Toyota’s TRAC sensors are activated when one of the drive wheels star\
ts to slip.
TRAC limits engine output and applies the brakes to the spinning wheel. \
This
transfers power to the wheels that still have traction to help keep you \
on track.
