CAUTION
nTrailer towing precautions
lFollow all the instructions described in this section. Failure to do so could
cause an accident resulting in death or serious injury.
lExceeding the towing capacity, GVWR, GCWR and GAWR can cause an
accident resulting in death or serious personal injuries.
nTo avoid accident or injury
lDo not exceed 45 mph (72 km/h) or the posted towing speed limit, which−
ever is lower. As instability (swaying) of the towing vehicle−trailer combina−
tion increases as speed increases, exceeding 45 mph (72 km/h) may
cause loss of control.
lSlow down and downshift before descending steep or long downhill
grades. Do not make sudden downshifts.
lAvoid holding the brake pedal down too long or applying the brakes too
frequently. This could cause the brakes to overheat and result in reduced
braking efficiency.
lDo not exceed the trailer hitch assembly weight, gross vehicle weight,
gross axle weight and trailer tongue load capacities.
lNever load more weight in the back than in the front of the trailer. About
60% of the load should be in the front half of the trailer, and the remaining
40% in the rear.
l
Do not use cruise control when you are towing.

nMaximum load of tire
Check that the maximum load of the re
placed tire is greater than 1/2 of
the Gross Axle Weight Ratings (GAWR) of either the front axle or the
rear axle, whichever is greater.
As for the maximum load of the tire, see the load limit at maximum cold
tire inflation pressure mentioned on the sidewall of the tire, and as for the
Gross Axle Weight Ratings (GAWR)
, see the Certification Label. ( P.
401, 507).
nTire types
1 Summer tires
Summer tires are high−speed performance tires best suited to highway
driving under dry conditions. Sinc
e summer tires do not have the same
traction performance as snow tire s, summer tires are inadequate for
driving on snow−covered or icy roads. For driving on snow−covered
roads or icy roads, the use of
snow tires is recommended. When
installing snow tires, be sure to replace all four tires.
2 All season tires
All season tires are designed to prov ide better traction in snow and to
be adequate for driving in most winter conditions, as well as for use
year round. All season tires, however, do not have adequate traction
performance compared with snow tires in heavy or loose snow. Also,
all season tires fall short in acceleration and handling performance
compared with summer tires in highway driving.
3Snow tires
For driving on snow−covered roads or icy roads, we recommend using
snow tires. If you need snow tires,
select tires of the same size, con−
struction and load capacity as the or iginally installed tires. Since your
vehicle has radial tires as original equipment, make sure your snow
tires also have radial construction. Do not install studded tires without
first checking local regulations for possible restriction. Snow tires
should be installed on all wheels. (

Maintenance and care
Wheels
If a wheel is bent, cracked or heavily corroded, it should be
replaced.
Otherwise, the tire may separate from the wheel or cause loss of
handling control.
nWheel selection
When replacing wheels, care should be taken to ensure that
they are equivalent to those removed in load capacity, diameter,
rim width, and offset.
Replacement wheels are available at your Toyota dealer.
Toyota does not recommend using:
lWheels of different sizes or types
lUsed wheels
l
Bent wheels that have been straightened
n
Aluminum wheel precautions
l
Use only Toyota wheel nuts and wrenches designed for use
with your aluminum wheels.
l
When rotating, repairing or changing your tires, check that the
wheel nuts are still tight after driving 1000 miles (1600 km).
lBe careful not to damage the aluminum wheels when using
tire chains.
lUse only Toyota genuine balance weights or equivalent and a
plastic or rubber hammer when balancing your wheels.

Lubrication system
Oil viscosity:
l
The 0W portion of the oil viscosity rating indicates the characteristic
of the oil which allows cold startab ility. Oils with a lower value before
the W allow for easier starting of the engine in cold weather.
lThe 20 in 0W−20 indicates the oil viscosity when the oil is as its oper−
ating temperature. An oil with a higher viscosity may be better suited
if the vehicle is operated at high
speeds, or under extreme load con−
dition.

Warning: The temperature grades for this tire are established for a
tire that is properly inflated and not overloaded.
Excessive speed, underinflation, or
excessive loading, either sepa−
