■Maximum permissible rear axle capacity
Vehicle category M1 models*
The weight borne by the rear axle should not exceed the maximum
permissible rear axle capacity by 15% or more. Exceeding this
weight is dangerous.
Vehicle category N1 models*
The weight borne by the rear axle should not exceed the maximum
permissible rear axle capacity. Exceeding this weight is dangerous.
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.
*: To distinguish the vehicle category, ask any authorized Toyota retailer or
Toyota authorized repairer, or any reliable repairer.
WARNING
■ When the gross vehicle mass or maximum permissible axle capacity is
exceeded (vehicle category M1 models*)
Failing to observe this precaution may lead to an accident causing death or
serious injury.

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. Frequently check behind when mov-
ing 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 exe-
cuting lane changes.
■Transmission information
Vehicles with a Multidrive
To maintain engine braking efficiency, when using engine braking,
do not use the transmission in D. Transmission shift gear position
must be in 4 in the M mode. (P. 252)
Vehicles with a manual transmission
To maintain engine braking efficiency, when using engine braking,
do not use the transmission in 5 and 6 (vehicles with a 6-speed
manual transmission) gear. (P. 260)
■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
high engine coolant temperature warning light flashes or comes on,
turn the air conditioning off immediately, leave the road and stop the
vehicle in a safe place. (P. 639)
■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
(Multidrive) or 1 or R (manual transmission).
