■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.494)
●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.
■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).
■If trailer sway occurs
One or more factors (crosswinds, pass- ing vehicles, rough roads, etc.) can
adversely affect handling of your vehicle and trailer, causing instability.
●If trailer swaying occurs:• Firmly grip the steering wheel. Steer straight ahead.
Do not try to control trailer swaying by turning the steering wheel.• Begin releasing the accelerator pedal
immediately but very gradually to reduce speed.
Do not increase speed. Do not apply
vehicle brakes.

6-3. Do-it-yourself maintenance
Maintenance and care
Use only Toyota wheel nuts and
wheel nut wrenches designed for
use with your aluminum wheels.
When rotating, repairing or
changing your tires, check that
the wheel nuts are still tight after
driving 1600 km (1000 miles).
Be careful not to damage the
aluminum wheels when using
tire chains.
Use only Toyota genuine balance
weights or equivalent and a plas-
tic or rubber hammer when bal-
ancing your wheels.
WARNING
●Never use oil or grease on the wheel bolts or wheel nuts.
Oil and grease may cause the wheel nuts to be excessively tight-ened, leading to bolt or disc wheel
damage. In addition, the oil or grease can cause the wheel nuts to loosen and the wheel may fall off,
causing an accident and resulting in death or serious injury. Remove any oil or grease from the wheel bolts or
wheel nuts.
■Use of defective wheels prohib-
ited
Do not use cracked or deformed wheels. Doing so could cause the tire
to leak air during driving, possibly causing an accident.
NOTICE
■Replacing tire pressure warning
valves and transmitters
●Because tire repair or replacement
may affect the tire pressure warning valves and transmitters, make sure to have tires serviced by any autho-
rized Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or any reliable repairer. In addition, make sure to
purchase your tire pressure warn- ing valves and transmitters at any authorized Toyota retailer or Toyota
authorized repairer, or any reliable repairer.
●Ensure that only genuine Toyota wheels are used on your vehicle.Tire pressure warning valves and
transmitters may not work properly with non-genuine wheels.
