BODY
To install the fuel tank in the front area of the luggage compartment, the upper back panel has been cut
for the 5S-FNE engine model.
To prevent reducing the rigidity of the body due to the upper back panel that has been cut out, as well as
for installing the fuel tank, rear seat back, and package tray trim, a performance rod is used for joining both
rear suspension strut towers for the 5S-FNE engine model.
The luggage door support has been changed from the torsion bar to the damper stay type for the 5S-FNE
engine model.
To prevent reducing the capacity of the luggage compartment due to the installation of the fuel tank in the
luggage compartment, the shape of the rear floor pan has been changed.

A safety chain must always be used
between the towing vehicle and the
trailer. Leave sufficient slack in the
chain for turns. The chain should
cross under the trailer tongue to
prevent the tongue from dropping to
the ground in case it becomes dam-
aged or separated. For correct safety
chain procedures, follow the hitch or
trailer manufacturer 's recommenda-
tions.
CAUTION

If the total trailer weight exceeds
453 kg (1000 lb.), trailer brakes are
required.

Never tap into your vehicle's hy-
draulic system as it would lower its
braking effectiveness.

Never tow a trailer without using a
safety chain securely attached to
both the trailer and the vehicle. If
damage occurs to the coupling unit
or hitch ball, there is danger of the
trailer wandering over into another
lane.
TIRES

Ensure that your vehicle's tires are
properly inflated. Adjust the tire pres-
sure to the recommended cold tire
pressure indicated below (see Chapter
7±2 for instructions.):
Tire pressure, kPa (kgf/cm
2 or bar, psi)
5S±FE engine
Front 210 (2.1, 30)
Rear 210 (2.1, 30)
1MZ±FE engine
Front 220 (2.2, 32)
Rear 220 (2.2, 32)

The trailer tires should be inflated to
the pressure recommended by the trail-
er manufacturer in respect to the total
trailer weight.TRAILER LIGHTS

Trailer lights must comply with federal,
state/provincial and local regulations.
See your local recreational vehicle
dealer or rental agency for the correct
type of wiring and relays for your trail-
er. Check for correct operation of the
turn signals and stop lights each time
you hitch up. Direct splicing may dam-
age your vehicle's electrical system
and cause a malfunction of your lights.
BREAK±IN SCHEDULE

Toyota recommends that you do not
tow a trailer with a new vehicle or a
vehicle with any new power train com-
ponent (engine, transmission, differen-
tial, wheel bearing, etc.) for the first
800 km (500 miles) of driving.
MAINTENANCE

If you tow a trailer, your vehicle will
require more frequent maintenance due
to the additional load. For this informa-
tion, please refer to the scheduled
maintenance information in the ºSched-
uled Maintenance Guideº or ºOwner 's
Manual Supplementº.

Retighten all fixing bolts of the towing
ball and bracket after approximately
1000 km (600 miles) of trailer driving.
