8 For confirmation, repeat
steps 6 and 7 until desired
“gain” setting is reached (just
below point of trailer wheel
lock-up).
■When setting the “gain”
Wheel lock-up occurs when the
trailer wheel squeals or tire smoke
occurs. Trailer wheels may not lock-
up while driving heavily loaded
trailer. During this case, adjust the
Trailer “gain” to the highest allow-
able setting for the towing condition.
■When disconnecting and recon-
necting 12-volt battery termi-
nals
The “gain” setting data will be reset.
■Trailer Sway Control Function
Helps suppress trailer sway at an
early stage by using the trailer brake
control system to operate the trailer
brakes.
■If the Trailer brake warning light
comes on
Indicates a malfunction in the Trailer
brake control system or Trailer con-
nector circuit.
Have the vehicle inspected by your
Toyota dealer immediately.
WARNING
■Trailer brake type setting
It is the responsibility of the driver
to make sure the trailer brakes
are functioning normally and
adjusted appropriately. Failure to
check and maintain trailer brakes
may result in loss of vehicle con-
trol, crash, or serious injury.
Trailer brake control system will
work with most electric and elec-
tric-overhydraulic trailer braking
systems up to 3 axles (24A output
to trailer brakes). Please be sure
to test compatibility with the sys-
tem at low speeds and in a safe
area. If a warning message
appears in the multi-information
display ( P.511), have the vehi-
cle inspected by your Toyota
dealer immediately. Some elec-
tric-over-hydraulic trailer brakes
will take some minimum output to
activate. Trailer brake control sys-
tem will not work with trailer
hydraulic surge brakes.

Trailer Backup Guide*
Trailer Backup Guide is a
system to assist when back-
ing up a trailer by providing
either (1) steering control to
assist backing up straight
(Straight Path Assist) or (2)
guidance for manual steer-
ing backup (Guidance
mode).
Trailer Backup Guide uses
the rear camera to detect
the trailer and a trailer hitch
light, which allows the
driver to use the system at
night time.
The system calculates the
trailer angle by image pro-
cessing from the rear cam-
era and calculates trailer
length and hitch length
during the trailer setup (cali-
bration) maneuver.

brate in daytime on a smooth and
level road.
●It may be necessary at times to re-
calibrate the trailer to improve per-
formance.
●The system is designed to be
used with the same trailer connec-
tion every time. If the ball mount
position is changed or reconfig-
ured or items are added to the
trailer tongue
after calibration, re-
calibration may be required.
Guidance mode provides a
“Trailer Direction” arrow that
indicates the direction the trailer
will swing, based on calculations
from the steering wheel angle
information. Guidance mode
provides a “BRAKE Extreme

WARNING
■Cautions regarding the use of
the system
In order for this system to perform
as designed, the vehicle must be
driven safely and the driver must
control the speed to keep it within
operating parameters and to
avoid a collision.
As there is a limit to the degree of
control performance that this sys-
tem can provide, do not overly
rely on this system. The driver is
always responsible for paying
attention to the vehicle’s sur-
roundings and driving safely. This
system does not control braking
(or steering when in Guidance
mode). Driver needs to control
vehicle speed, control braking,
(and steering when in Guidance
mode,) and stop the vehicle to
avoid any collision. Failure to fol-
low this warning could result in
property damage, serious injury
or death.
■When using the Trailer
Backup Guide
For proper system performance,
observe the following precautions.
Failure to do so may lead to an
accident resulting in property
damage, serious injury, or death.
●Keep the tailgat e fully latched.
●Keep the rear camera clean at
all times.
●Do not change the installation
position or direction of the rear
camera or remove it.
●Do not modify the trailer hitch
light. (→P.386)
●Make sure nothing can obstruct
the rear camera view of the
trailer.
The system is designed to oper-
ate in various weather and lighting
conditions and on different ground
surfaces (asphalt , grass, gravel,
etc.), however performance can
still be affected by various envi-
ronmental factors (e.g. shadow
passing over the tr ailer or dimin-
ished contrast between trailer and
the ground leading to trailer
detection being lost, etc.) so
always drive carefully, remain
alert and aware of your surround-
ings, and do not overly rely on the
system.

When using Eco drive mode, the
torque corresponding to the
accelerator pedal depression
amount can be generated more
smoothly than it is in normal
conditions. In addition, the oper-
ation of the air conditioning sys-
tem (heating/cooling) will be
minimized, improving the fuel
economy. ( P.358)
The Eco-friendly driving is pos-
sible by keeping the indicate of
Hybrid System Indicator within
Eco area. ( P.97)
Shift the shift lever to D when
stopped at a traffic light, or driv-
ing in heavy traffic etc. Shift the
shift lever to P when parking.
When using the N, there is no
positive effect on fuel consump-
tion. When using the air condi-
tioning system, etc., the hybrid
battery (traction battery) power
is consumed. 
Drive your vehicle smoothly.
Avoid abrupt acceleration and
deceleration. Gradual accel-
eration and deceleration will
make more effective use of
the electric motor (traction
motor) without having to use
gasoline engine power.
 Avoid repeated acceleration.
Repeated acceleration con-
sumes hybrid battery (trac-
tion battery) power, resulting
in poor fuel consumption. Bat-
tery power can be restored by
driving with the accelerator
pedal slightly released.
Make sure to operate the brakes
gently and in a timely manner. A
greater amount of electrical
energy can be regenerated
when slowing down.
Repeated acceleration and
deceleration, as well as long
waits at traffic lights, will lead to
bad fuel economy. Check traffic
reports before leaving and avoid
delays as much as possible.
When driving in a traffic jam,
gently release the brake pedal
to allow the vehicle to move for-
ward slightly while avoiding

overuse of the accelerator
pedal. Doing so can help control
excessive gasoline consump-
tion.
Control and maintain the vehicle
at a constant speed. Before
stopping at a toll booth or simi-
lar, allow plenty of time to
release the accelerator and gen-
tly apply the brakes. A greater
amount of electrical energy can
be regenerated when slowing
down.
Use the air conditioning only
when necessary. Doing so can
help reduce excessive gasoline
consumption.
In summer: When the ambient
temperature is high, use the
recirculated air mode. Doing so
will help to reduce the burden on
the air conditioning system and
reduce fuel consumption as
well.
In winter: Because the gasoline
engine will not automatically cut
out until it and the interior of the
vehicle are warm, it will con-
sume fuel. Also, fuel consump-
tion can be improved by
avoiding overuse of the heater.Make sure to check the tire infla-
tion pressure frequently.
Improper tire inflation pressure
can cause poor fuel economy.
Also, as snow tires can cause
large amounts of friction, their
use on dry roads can lead to
poor fuel economy. Use tires
that are appropriate for the sea-
son.
Carrying heavy luggage will lead
to poor fuel economy. Avoid car-
rying unnecessary luggage.
Installing a large roof rack will
also cause poor fuel economy.
Since the gasoline engine starts
up and cuts out automatically
when cold, warming up the
engine is unnecessary. More-
over, frequently driving short
distances will cause the engine
to repeatedly warm up, which
can lead to excess fuel con-
sumption.
