Before driving
L/C200_EE (OM60G38E)
Intrusion sensor and tilt sensor (if equipped)
The intrusion sensor detects an intruder or movement in the vehi-
cle.
The tilt sensor detects changes in vehicle inclination, such as when
the vehicle is towed away.
This system is designed to deter and prevent vehicle theft but does
not guarantee absolute security against all intrusions.
The intrusion sensor and tilt sensor can be canceled using the cancel
switch.
Canceling the intrusion sensor and tilt sensor
Turn the “ENGINE START
STOP” switch off and press the
intrusion sensor and tilt sensor
cancel switch.
A message will be shown on the
multi-information display in the
instrument cluster.

NOTICE
To prevent the water damage
Take all necessary safety measures to ensure that water damage to the
engine or other components does not occur.
Water entering the engine air intake will cause severe engine damage.
Water entering the automatic transmission will cause deterioration in shift
quality, locking up of your transmission accompanied by vibration, and ulti-
mately damage.
Water can wash the grease from wheel bearings, causing rusting and pre-
mature failure, and may also enter the differentials, transmission and
transfer case, reducing the gear oil’s lubricating qualities.
When you drive through water
If driving through water, such as when crossing shallow streams, first check
the depth of the water and the bottom of the river bed for firmness. Drive
slowly and avoid deep water.
Inspection after off-road driving
Sand and mud that has accumulated in brake drums and around brake
discs may affect braking efficiency and may damage brake system compo-
nents.
Always perform a maintenance inspection after each day of off-road driv-
ing that has taken you through rough terrain, sand, mud, or water.

328 2-5. Driving information
L/C200_EE (OM60G38E)Wait for about 20 seconds until the rear vehicle height is low-
ered by the automatic leveling function.
Make sure the hitch is disconnected. If not, raise the hitch
higher and repeat steps 2 through 5.
Move the vehicle forward in the “LO” mode where the hitch
does not touch anything in the “N” (normal) mode.
Put the 4-Wheel AHC in the “N” mode.
Tire information
Increase the air pressure of the trailer tires in accordance with the total trailer
weight and according to the values recommended by the manufacturer of
your trailer.
Trailer lights
Please consult at any authorized dealer or repairer, or another duly qualified
and equipped professional when installing trailer lights, as incorrect installa-
tion 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).
Maintenance
Maintenance must be performed more frequently when using the vehicle
for towing due to the greater weight burden placed on the vehicle com-
pared to normal driving.
Retighten all bolts securing the hitching ball and bracket after towing for
approximately 1000 km (600 miles).
