■Information tag (manufacturer’s label) 
Gross vehicle mass
The combined weight of the driver, passengers, luggage, towing hitch, 
total curb mass and drawbar load should not exceed the gross vehicle 
mass by more than 100 kg (220.5 lb.). Exceeding this weight is danger- 
ous.
Maximum permissible rear axle capacity
The weight borne by the rear axle should not exceed the maximum per-
missible rear axle capacity by 15% or more. 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.

WARNING
■ When the gross vehicle mass or maximum permissible axle capacity is 
exceeded 
Failing to observe this precaution may lead to an accident causing death or 
serious injury. 
● Add an additional 20.0 kPa (0.2 kgf/cm2 or bar, 3 psi) to the recommended 
tire inflation pressure value. ( P. 772)  
● Do not exceed the established speed limit for towing a trailer in built-up 
areas or 100 km/h (62 mph), whichever is the lower.

■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. 772) 
● Increase the air pressure of the trailer tires in accordance with the total 
trailer weight and according to the values recommended by the manufac- 
turer of your trailer. 
■ Tr a i l e r l i g h ts 
Please consult at any authorized 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 and 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 the total load exerted 
on the vehicle is within the range of the weight limits. ( P. 224) 
● Ensure that the trailer load is secure. 
● Supplementary outside rear view mirrors 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 burden placed on the vehicle compared to
normal driving. 
● Retighten all bolts securing the hitching ball and bracket after towing for 
approximately 1000 km (600 miles).

● In some situations such as the following, sufficient braking force may not be 
obtained, preventing the system from performing properly: 
• If the braking functions cannot operate to their full extent, such as when 
the brake parts are extremely cold, extremely hot, or wet
• If the vehicle is not properly maintained (brakes or tires are excessively 
worn, improper tire inflation pressure, etc.) 
• When the vehicle is being driven on a gravel road or other slippery sur-
face 
● Some pedestrians such as the following may not be detected by the radar 
sensor and camera sensor, preventi ng the system from operating properly*: 
• Pedestrians shorter than approximately  1 m (3.2 ft.) or taller than approx- 
imately 2 m (6.5 ft.)
• Pedestrians wearing oversized clothing (a rain coat, long skirt, etc.), mak- 
ing their silhouette obscure 
• Pedestrians who are carrying large baggage, holding an umbrella, etc.,
hiding part of their body 
• Pedestrians who are bending forward or squatting 
• Pedestrians who are pushing a stroller, wheelchair, bicycle or other vehi-
cle 
• Groups of pedestrians which are close together 
• Pedestrians who are wearing wh ite and look extremely bright 
• Pedestrians in the dark, such as at night or while in a tunnel 
• Pedestrians whose clothing appears to be nearly the same color or 
brightness as their surroundings
• Pedestrians near walls, fences, guardrails, or large objects 
• Pedestrians who are on a metal object (manhole cover, steel plate, etc.) 
on the road
• Pedestrians who are walking fast 
• Pedestrians who are changing speed abruptly 
• Pedestrians running out from behind a vehicle or a large object
• Pedestrians who are extremely close to the side of the vehicle (outside 
rear view mirror, etc.)
*: Depending on the region in which the vehicle was sold, the pedestrian 
detection function may not be available. 

4684-5. Using the driving support systems
C-HR_OM_Europe_OM10528E
WARNING
■When the TRC/VSC systems are turned off 
Be especially careful and drive at a speed appropriate to the road condi- 
tions. As these are the systems to help ensure vehicle stability and driving 
force, do not turn the TRC/VSC systems off unless necessary. 
Trailer Sway Control is part of the VSC system and will not operate if VSC 
turned off or experiences a malfunction.  
■ Replacing tires 
Make sure that all tires are of the specified size, brand, tread pattern and 
total load capacity. In addition, make sure that the tires are inflated to the 
recommended tire inflation pressure level. 
The ABS, TRC and VSC systems will not function correctly if different tires 
are installed on the vehicle.  
Contact any authorized Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or any
reliable repairer for further information when replacing tires or wheels. 
■ Handling of tires and the suspension 
Using tires with any kind of problem or  modifying the suspension will affect 
the driving assist systems, and may cause a system to malfunction. 
■ Trailer Sway Control precaution 
The Trailer Sway Control system is not able to reduce trailer sway in all situ- 
ations. 
Depending on many factors such as the conditions of the vehicle, trailer, 
road surface, and driving environment, the Trailer Sway Control system 
may not be effective. Refer to your trailer owner’s manual for information
on how to tow your trailer properly.
