The installation of an RF-transmitter system in your vehicle could affect elec- 
tronic systems such as:  
● Multiport fuel injection system/sequential multiport fuel injection system 
● Toyota Safety Sense 
● Cruise control system 
● Anti-lock brake system 
● SRS airbag system 
● Seat belt pretensioner system 
Be sure to check with any authorized Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized 
repairer, or any reliable repairer for precautionary measures or special 
instructions regarding installation of an RF-transmitter system. 
Further information regarding frequency bands, power levels, antenna posi- 
tions and installation provisions for the installation of RF-transmitters, is avail- 
able on request at any authorized Toyota  retailer or Toyota authorized 
repairer, or any reliable repairer. 
The SRS airbag and seat belt pretensioner devices in your Toyota contain 
explosive chemicals. If the vehicle is scrapped with the airbags and seat belt 
pretensioners left as they are, this may cause an accident such as fire. Be
sure to have the systems of the SRS airbag and seat belt pretensioner 
removed and disposed of by a qualified service shop or by any authorized 
Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or any reliable repairer before
you scrap your vehicle.

If the accelerator pedal is not depressed, such as when the vehicle is driven 
using cruise control (if equipped), the  driven distance is not included in the 
Eco Score. 
The Eco Score evaluation differs  depending on the driving conditions and 
environmental factors. The Eco Score may not be linked to fuel consumption. 
The Eco Score will not operate in the following conditions: 
● The vehicle speed is approximately 130 km/h (80 mph) or higher. 
● The shift lever is in a position other than D. (vehicles with automatic trans- 
mission) 
● Front-wheel drive control switch is in L4. (if equipped) 
● Downhill assist control system is operating. (if equipped) 
● The vehicle is in the power mode. (if equipped) 
■ Eco Saving 
Displays the fuel consumption comparison, the average fuel consumption 
after reset, and the cost of the consumed fuel. 
• The function can be reset by pressing   more than 1 second when the 
average fuel consumption after reset is displayed 
• Use the average fuel consumption as a reference 
Savings/fuel cost
Displays the possible savings if the fuel consumption comparison is set, 
and displays the actual fuel cost if the fuel consumption comparison is not
set. 
Use the displayed fuel cost and savings as a reference. Depending on refuel- 
ing methods, driving conditions and environmental factors, the displayed fuel
cost may differ from the actual fuel cost, and in some cases, the fuel cost and 
savings may not be linked to the Eco Score evaluation. 
■ Eco Saving setting 
The fuel price and fuel consumption comparison settings can be set in the 
settings display. Use the meter control switches to select   while the vehicle 
is stopped and press  , and select “Eco Saving” and press  . 
Fuel consumption comparison 
Displays the set fuel consumption that 
is compared with the actual fuel con- 
sumption. 
Average fuel consumption after reset
Displays the average fuel consumption 
since the function was reset.

WARNING
Follow all the instructions described in this section. Failure to do so could 
cause an accident resulting in death or serious injury. 
■ Trailer towing precautions 
When towing, make sure that none of the weight limits are exceeded.  
( P.  2 5 8 ) 
■ Vehicle speed in towing 
Observe the legal maximum speeds for trailer towing. 
■ Before descending hills or long declines 
Reduce speed and downshift. However, never downshift suddenly while 
descending steep or long down hill grades. 
■ Operation of the brake pedal 
Do not hold the brake pedal depressed often or for long periods of time.  
Doing so may result in the brake overheating or reduce braking effects. 
■ To avoid accident or injury 
● The gross combination mass (sum of your vehicle mass plus its load and 
the total trailer mass) must not exceed the following:
Single-cab models 
5530 kg (12192 lb.): Pre Runner 
5850 kg (12897 lb.): 4WD models
Smart-cab models 
5850 kg (12897 lb.)
Double-cab models 
5850 kg (12897 lb.): Except Pre Runner for EURO VI model* for Israel, 
and EURO V and VI models* for Turkey
*: EURO V and VI are emission standards. If  it is not clear that your vehicle 
meets relevant standards, contact any authorized Toyota retailer or
Toyota authorized repairer, or any reliable repairer. 
● Do not use cruise control (if equipped) when trailer towing.
