Recreational Towing
When doing recreational towing refer to “Towing Description” (P. 519)
and “Tiedown Hooks” ( P. 520) and carefully fo llow the instructions.
An example of “recreational towing” is towing your vehicle
behind a motorhome.
The transaxle is not designed for towing this vehicle on all 4
wheels.

When Driving
WARNING
■Do not rely completely on Hill Launch Assist (HLA)
Hill Launch Assist (HLA) is an auxiliary device for acceleratin g from a stop
on a slope. The system only operates for about 2 seconds and th erefore,
relying only on the system, when accelerating from a stop is da ngerous
because the vehicle may move (roll) unexpectedly and cause an a ccident.
The vehicle could roll depending on the vehicle’s load or if it is towing some-
thing. In addition, for vehicles with a manual transaxle, the vehicle could still
roll depending on how the clutch pedal or the accelerator pedal is operated.
Always confirm the safety around the vehicle before starting to drive the
vehicle.

tem may not operate normally.
• Heavy luggage is loaded in the luggage compartment or on the r ear seat.
• If there is the possibility of partial contact with a vehicle ahead.
• When driving on continuously curving roads, and entering and e xiting
exits.
• Elongated luggage or cargo is loaded onto installed roof rails and covers
the laser sensor.

If Trouble Arises
Towing Description
A towed vehicle usually should
have its drive wheels (front
wheels) off the ground. If exces-
sive damage or other conditions
prevent this, use wheel dollies.
When towing with the rear wheels
on the ground, release the parking
brake.
We recommend that towing be done only by your Toyota dealer
or a commercial tow-truck service.
Proper lifting and towing are necessary to prevent damage to
the vehicle. Government and local laws must be followed.
Wheel dollies
NOTICE
●Do not tow the vehicle pointed back-
ward with driving wheels on the ground.
This may cause internal damage to the
transaxle.
● Do not tow with sling-type equipment.
This could damage your vehicle. Use
wheel-lift or flatbed equipment.
