¾After driving at freeway speeds or up a long hill, trailer towing for a long time, idle the
engine at least 30 seconds before stopping it. Otherwise, the turbocharger could be
damaged. However, when i-stop operates, idling is unnecessary.
¾Racing or over-revving the engine, particularly after it's just been started, can damage the
turbocharger.
¾To protect the engine from damage, the engine is designed so that it cannot be raced just
after starting it in extremely cold weather.

Be aware of the towing load weight differences when towing at high altitudes. For altitudes
exceeding 1,000 meter (3,280 ft 10 in), always reduce the towing load by 10% for every 1,000
meter (3,280 ft 10 in) increase in altitude from the load indicated under the gross combination
weight heading in the maximum trailer towing-load table. If the determined maximum total
towing load weight is exceeded, the engine and other power train parts may be damaged.

Make sure the safety chain is securely attached to both the trailer and the vehicle prior to
departure:
Towing a trailer without using a safety chain securely attached to both the trailer and the
vehicle is dangerous. If damage occurs to the coupling unit or hitch ball, the trailer could
wander into another lane and cause a collision.

Do not rely completely on the vehicle roll prevention function.
¾The vehicle roll prevention function is a supplementary function which operates for a
maximum of 4 seconds after releasing the brake pedal and accelerating the vehicle from an
engine idling stop condition. Over reliance on the system may result in an unexpected
accident if the vehicle were to suddenly accelerate. Before starting to drive the vehicle,
always confirm the safety of the surroundings and operate the selector lever, brake pedal,
and accelerator pedal appropriately. Note that the vehicle may move suddenly depending
on the vehicle's load or if it is towing something.
¾Note that the vehicle may move suddenly after the vehicle roll prevention function is
released while the vehicle is under the following conditions:
¾The selector lever is in the N position.
¾If the selector lever is shifted to the N position and the brake pedal is released while the
i-stop function is operating, the brake force is gradually released. To accelerate the
vehicle, release the brake pedal after the engine restarts and shift the selector lever to a
position other than the N position.
NOTE
xWhen the vehicle is stopped on a steep grade, the vehicle roll prevention function does not
operate because engine idling is not stopped.
xThe brake pedal response may change, sound may occur from the brakes, or the brake
pedal could vibrate from the operation of the vehicle roll prevention function. However,
this does not indicate a malfunction.

NOTE
xThe direction indicators do not work
when the hazard warning lights are on.
xCheck local regulations about the use of
hazard warning lights while the vehicle
is being towed to verify that it is not in
violation of the law.
xIf the brake pedal is depressed while
driving on slippery roads, the
emergency stop signal system could
operate causing all the turn and lane
change signals to flash. Refer to
Emergency Stop Signal System on page
4-116.
xWhile the emergency stop signal system
is operating, all the direction indicators
automatically flash rapidly to caution
the driver of a vehicle following behind
your vehicle of a sudden braking
situation. Refer to Emergency Stop
Signal System on page 4-116.
