restrained.
●A warning message is displayed on the multi-information display while the
system is operating.
■ECO Accelerator Guidance ( P.105, 111)
Eco-friendly driving may be achieved
mo r e ea si l y b y s ta y in g w it h in t he zo n e o f Eco acceleration. Also, by staying within the zone of Eco acceleration, it will be
easier to obtain a good Eco score.
●When starting off:
Gradually depress the accelerator pedal
to stay within the zone of Eco accelera-
tion and accelerate to the desired
speed. By refraining from excessive
acceleration, a good eco start score will
be obtained.
●When driving:
After accelerating to the desired speed,
release the accelerator pedal and drive
at a stable speed while staying within
the zone of Eco acceleration. By staying
within the zone of Eco acceleration, a
good eco cruise score will be obtained.
●When stopping:
By starting to release the accelerator
pedal early before decelerating, a good
eco stop score will be obtained.
■Breaking in your new Toyota
To extend the life of the vehicle, observ- ing the following precautions is recom-
mended:
●For the first 300 km (186 miles):
Avoid sudden stops.
●For the first 800 km (500 miles):
Do not tow a trailer. (vehicles with tow-
ing packages only)
●For the first 1000 km (621 miles): • Do not drive at extremely high speeds.
• Avoid sudden acceleration. • Do not drive at a constant speed for
extended periods.
■Operating your vehicle in a foreign
country
Comply with the relevant vehicle regis- tration laws and confirm the availability
of the correct fuel. ( P.422)
WARNING
Observe the following precautions. Failure to do so may result in death or
serious injury.
■When starting the vehicle
Always keep your foot on the brake pedal while stopped with the “READY” indicator is illuminated. This
prevents the vehicle from creeping.
■When driving the vehicle
●Do not drive if you are unfamiliar with the location of the brake and accelerator pedals to avoid
depressing the wrong pedal.
• Accidentally depressing the accel-
erator pedal instead of the brake pedal will result in sudden accelera-tion that may lead to an accident.
• When backing up, you may twist your body around, leading to a diffi-
culty in operating the pedals. Make sure to operate the pedals properly.
• Make sure to keep a correct driving posture even when moving the vehicle only slightly. This allows you
to depress the brake and accelera- tor pedals properly.
• Depress the brake pedal using your right foot. Depressing the brake pedal using your left foot may delay
response in an emergency, result- ing in an accident.

ity, GVM (Gross Vehicle Mass),
MPAC (Maximum Permissible Axle
Trailer towing (vehicles
without towing pack-
ages - including
Reunion)
Toyota does not recommend
towing a trailer with your vehi-
cle.
Toyota also does not recom-
mend the installation of a tow
hitch or the use of a tow hitch
carrier for a wheelchair,
scooter, bicycle, etc. Your vehi-
cle is not designed for trailer
towing or for the use of tow
hitch mounted carriers.
Trailer towing (vehicles
with towing packages -
except for Reunion)
Your vehicle is designed pri-
marily as a passenger carrying
vehicle. Towing a trailer will
have an adverse effect on han-
dling, performance, braking,
durability, and fuel consump-
tion. Your safety and satisfac-
tion depend on the proper use
of correct equipment and cau-
tious driving habits. For your
safety and the safety of others,
do not overload the vehicle or
trailer.
To tow a trailer safely, use
extreme care and drive the
vehicle in accordance with the
trailer’s characteristics and
operating conditions.
Toyota warranties do not apply
to damage or malfunction
caused by towing a trailer for
commercial purposes.
Contact any authorized Toyota
retailer or Toyota authorized
repairer, or any reliable
repairer for further information
about additional requirements
such as towing kits, etc.

Capacity), and permissible draw-
bar load before towing. ( P. 4 2 0 )
Toyota recommends the use of the
Toyota hitch/bracket for your vehi-
cle. Other products of a suitable
nature and comparable quality may
also be used.
For vehicles where the towing
device blocks any of the lights or
license plate, the following shall be
observed:
 Do not use towing devices that
cannot be easily removed or
repositioned.
 Towing devices must be
removed or repositioned when
not in use.
■Total trailer weight and per-
missible drawbar load
Total trailer weight
Weight of the trailer itself plus the trailer
load should be within the maximum
towing capacity. Exceeding this weight
is dangerous. ( P.420)
When towing a trailer, use a friction
coupler or friction stabilizer (sway con-
trol device).
Permissible drawbar load
Allocate the trailer load so that the
drawbar load is greater than 25 kg
(55.1 lb.) or 4% of the towing capacity.
Do not let the drawbar load exceed the
indicated weight. ( P.420)
■Information tag (manufac-
turer’s label)
Gross vehicle mass
The combined weight of the driver, pas-
sengers, luggage, towing hitch, total
curb mass and drawbar load should not
exceed the gross vehicle mass by more
than 100 kg (220.5 lb.). Exceeding this
weight is dangerous.
Maximum permissible rear axle
capacity
The weight borne by the rear axle
should not exceed the maximum per-
missible rear axle capacity by 15% or
more. Exceeding this weight is danger-
ous. The values for towing capacity
were derived from testing conducted at
sea level. Take note that engine output
and towing capacity will be reduced at
high altitudes.

■Tire information
●Increase the tire inflation pressure to
20.0 kPa (0.2 kgf/cm2 or bar, 3 psi) greater than the recommended value when towing. ( P.427)
●Increase the air pressure of the trailer tires in accordance with the total
trailer weight and according to the val- ues recommended by the manufac-turer of your trailer.
■Trailer lights
Please consult any authorized Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or any reliable repairer when installing
trailer lights, as incorrect installation may cause damage to the vehicle’s lights. Please take care to comply with
your state’s laws when installing trailer lights.
WARNING
■When the gross vehicle mass or maximum permissible axle
capacity is exceeded
Failing to observe this precaution may lead to an accident causing death or
serious injury.
●Add an additional 20.0 kPa (0.2
kgf/cm2 or bar, 3 psi) to the recom- mended tire inflation pressure
value. ( P.427)
●Do not exceed the established
speed limit for towing a trailer in built-up areas or 100 km/h (62 mph), whichever is lower.

4-1. Before driving
■Break-in schedule
Toyota recommends that vehicles fitted with new power train components should not be used for towing trailers for
the first 800 km (500 miles).
■Safety checks before towing
●Check that the maximum load limit for
the towing hitch/bracket hitch ball is not exceeded. Bear in mind that the coupling weight of the trailer will add
to the load exerted on the vehicle. Also make sure that you will not be towing a load that exceeds the maxi-
mum permissible axle capacity.
●Ensure that the trailer load is secure.
●Supplementary outside rear view mir- rors should be added to the vehicle if
the traffic behind cannot be clearly seen with standard mirrors. Adjust the extending arms of these mirrors on
both sides of the vehicle so that they always provide maximum visibility of the road behind.
■Maintenance
●Maintenance must be performed more frequently when using the vehicle for
towing due to the greater weight bur- den placed on the vehicle compared to normal driving.
●Retighten all bolts securing the hitch-ing ball and bracket after towing for
approximately 1000 km (600 miles).
Your vehicle will handle differently
when towing a trailer. In order to
avoid accident, death or serious
injury, keep the following in mind
when towing:
■Checking connections
between trailer and lights
Stop the vehicle and check the
operation of the connection
between the trailer and lights after
driving for a brief period as well as
before starting off.
■Practicing driving with a cou-
pled trailer
 Get the feel for turning, stopping
and reversing with the trailer
coupled by practicing in an area
with no or light traffic.
 When reversing with a coupled
trailer, hold the section of the
steering wheel nearest to you
and rotate clockwise to turn the
trailer left or counterclockwise to
turn it right. Always rotate a little
at a time to prevent steering
error. Have someone guide you
when reversing to lessen the risk
of an accident.
■Increasing vehicle-to-vehicle
distance
At a speed of 10 km/h (6 mph), the
distance to the vehicle running
ahead of you should be equivalent
to or greater than the combined
length of your vehicle and trailer.
NOTICE
■When the rear bumper strength- ening material is aluminum
Ensure the steel bracket part does not come directly in contact with that area.
When steel and aluminum come into contact, there is a reaction similar to corrosion, which will weaken the sec-
tion concerned and may result in damage. Apply a rust inhibitor to parts that will come in contact when attach-
ing a steel bracket.
Guidance

HV Owner's Manual_Europe_M52N30_en
4-1. Before driving
Driving
Avoid sudden braking that may
cause skidding. Otherwise, the
vehicle may spin out of control. This
is especially true when driving on
wet or slippery road surfaces.
■Sudden acceleration/steering
input/cornering
Executing sharp turns when towing
may result in the trailer colliding
with your vehicle. Decelerate well in
advance when approaching turns
and take them slowly and carefully
to avoid sudden braking.
■Important points regarding
turning
The wheels of the trailer will travel
closer to the inside of the curve
than the wheels of the vehicle. To
make allowance for this, take the
turns wider than you would nor-
mally do.
■Important points regarding
stability
Vehicle movement resulting from
uneven road surfaces and strong
crosswinds will affect handling. The
vehicle may also be rocked by
passing buses or large trucks. Fre-
quently check behind when moving
alongside such vehicles. As soon
as such vehicle movement occurs,
immediately start to decelerate
smoothly by slowly applying the
brakes. Always steer the vehicle
straight ahead while braking.
■Passing other vehicles
Consider the total combined length
of your vehicle and trailer and
ensure that the vehicle-to-vehicle
distance is sufficient before execut-
ing lane changes.
■Transmission information
To maintain engine braking effi-
ciency and charging system perfor-
mance when using engine braking,
do not use the transmission in D.
( P.181)
■If the engine overheats
Towing a loaded trailer up a long,
steep incline in temperatures
exceeding 30°C (85°F) may result
in the engine overheating. If the
engine coolant temperature gauge
indicates that the engine is over-
heating, turn the air conditioning off
immediately, leave the road and
stop the vehicle in a safe place.
( P.414)
■When parking the vehicle
Always place wheel chocks under
the wheels of both the vehicle and
trailer. Firmly set the parking brake
and shift the shift lever to P.
WARNING

this section. Failure to do so could cause an accident resulting in death or serious injury.
■Trailer towing precautions
When towing, make sure that none of
the weight limits are exceeded. ( P.168)

HV Owner's Manual_Europe_M52N30_en
4-1. Before driving
WARNING
■Vehicle speed in towing
Observe the legal maximum speeds
for trailer towing.
■Before descending hills or long
declines
Reduce speed and downshift. How- ever, never downshift suddenly while
descending steep or long downhill grades.
■Operation of the brake pedal
Do not hold the brake pedal depressed often or for long periods of
time. Doing so may result in the brake overheating or reduce braking effects.
■To avoid accident or injury
●Vehicles with a compact spare tire: Do not tow a trailer when the com-
pact spare tire is installed on your vehicle.
●Vehicles with the emergency tire puncture repair kit: Do not tow a trailer when the tire installed is
repaired with the emergency tire puncture repair kit.
●Vehicles with a Dynamic radar cruise control: Do not use dynamic radar cruise control when you are
towing.
NOTICE
■Do not directly splice trailer
lights
Directly splicing trailer lights may damage your vehicle’s electrical sys-
tem and cause a malfunction.
