WARNING
■Capacity and distribution
●Do not exceed the maximum axle weight rating or the total vehicle
weight rating.
●Even if the total load of occupant’s weight and the cargo load is less
than the total load capacity, do not apply the load unevenly. Improper
loading may cause deterioration of steering or braking control which
may cause death or serious injury.
■Roof luggage carrier precautions (vehicles with roof rails)
To use the roof rails as a roof luggage carrier, you must fit the roof rails
with two or more genu ine Toyota cross rails or their equivalent.
When you load cargo on the roof luggage carrier, observe the following:
●Loading cargo on the roof luggage carrier will make the center of the
vehicle gravity higher. Avoid high speeds, sudden starts, sharp turns,
sudden braking or abrupt maneuvers, otherwise it may result in loss of
control or vehicle rollover due to failu re to operate this vehicle correctly
and result in death or serious injury.
●If driving for a long distance, on r ough roads, or at high speeds, stop
the vehicle now and then during the trip to make sure the cargo
remains in its place.
●Do not exceed 165 lb. (75 kg) cargo weight on the roof luggage carrier.
●Place the cargo so that its weight is
distributed evenly between the front
and rear axles.
●If loading long or wide cargo, never
exceed the vehicle overall length or
width. ( →P. 638)
●Before driving, make sure the cargo is
securely fastened on the roof luggage
carrier.

Screen description
The rear view monitor system scr
een will be displayed if the shift
lever is shifted to R while the power switch is in ON mode.
Vehicle width guide lines
The line indicates a guide path when the vehicle is being backed
straight up.
The displayed width is wider than the actual vehicle width.
Vehicle center guide line
The line indicates the estimated vehicle center on the ground.
Distance guide line
The line shows points approximately 1.5 ft. (0.5 m) (red) from the center
of the edge of the bumper.

Differences between the screen and the actual road
The distance guide lines and the v
ehicle width guide lines may not
actually be parallel with the dividi ng lines of the parking space, even
when they appear to be so. Be sure to check visually.
The distances between the vehicle width guide lines and the left
and right dividing lines of the parking space may not be equal, even
when they appear to be so. Be sure to check visually.
The distance guide lines give a distance guide for flat road sur-
faces. In any of the following situations, there is a margin of error
between the fixed guide lines on the screen and the actual dis-
tance/course on the road.
● When the ground behind the vehicle slopes up sharply
The distance guide lines will
appear to be closer to the vehi-
cle than the actual distance.
Because of this, objects will
appear to be farther away than
they actually are. In the same
way, there will be a margin of
error between the guidelines
and the actual distance/course
on the road.

●Distance guidelines
Visually check the surroundings
and the area behind the vehi-
cle. On the screen, it appears
that a truck is parked at point . However, in reality if you
back up to point , you will hit
the truck. On the screen, it
appears that is closest and is furthest away. However,
in reality, the distance to
and is the same, and is
farther than and .
■Vehicle width guide lines
Visually check the surroundings and the area behind the vehicle. In
the case shown below, the truck appears to be outside of the vehi-
cle width guide lines and the vehicle does not look as if it hits the
truck. However, the rear body of the truck may actually cross over
the vehicle width guide lines. In reality if you back up as guided by
the vehicle width guide lines, the vehicle may hit the truck.

Maintenance and care
HIGHLANDER_HV_U (OM48F12U)
When replacing wheels, care should be taken to ensure that they are
equivalent to those removed in load capacity, diameter, rim width and
inset
*.
Replacement wheels are available at your Toyota dealer.
*: Conventionally referred to as “offset”.
Toyota does not recommend using the following:
● Wheels of different sizes or types
● Used wheels
● Bent wheels that have been straightened
● Use only Toyota wheel nuts and wrenches designed for use with
your aluminum wheels.
● When rotating, repairing or changi ng your tires, check that the
wheel nuts are still tight after driving 1000 miles (1600 km).
● Be careful not to damage the aluminum wheels when using tire
chains.
● Use only Toyota genuine balance we ights or equivalent and a plas-
tic or rubber hammer when balancing your wheels.
■When replacing wheels
The wheels of your vehicle are equipped with tire pressure warning
valves and transmitters that allow the tire pressure warning system to
provide advance warning in the event of a loss in tire inflation pressure.
Whenever wheels are replaced, tire pressure warning valves and trans-
mitters must be installed. ( →P. 524)
Wheels
If a wheel is bent, cracked or heavily corroded, it should be
replaced. Otherwise, the tire may separate from the wheel or
cause a loss of handling control.
