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.

“Past record” screen appears
Average fuel consumption for the past 15 minutes is divided by
color into past averages and averages attained since the engine
switch was last turned to the “ON” position (vehicles without smart
entry & start system) or IGNITION ON mode (vehicles with smart
entry & start system). Use the displayed average fuel consumption
as a reference.
These images are examples only, and may vary slightly from actual
conditions.

The average fuel consumption history is divided by color into past
averages and the average fuel consumption since the last updated.
Use the displayed average fuel consumption as a reference.
These images are examples only, and may vary slightly from actual
conditions.
■ Resetting the data
Selecting “Clear” on the “Trip information” screen will reset the trip informa-
tion data.
Selecting “Clear” on the “Past record” screen will reset the past record data.
■ Updating the past record data
Selecting “Update” on the “Past record” screen will update the past record
data.
Also, the average fuel consumption displayed in the multi-information display
will be reset at the same time.
■ Cruising range
Displays the estimated maximum distance that can be driven with the quan-
tity of fuel remaining.
This distance is computed based on your average fuel consumption. As a
result, the actual distance that can be driven may differ from that displayed.

Trailer towing (models for model code
destination W)
◆Weight limits
Check the allowable towing capacity, GVM (Gross Vehicle Mass),
MPAC (Maximum Permissible Axle Capacity), and permissible
drawbar load before towing. ( P. 654)
◆Towing hitch/bracket
Toyota recommends the use of the Toyota hitch/bracket for your
vehicle. Other products of a suitable nature and comparable quality
may also be used.
: See “Checking your vehicle’s model” if you are not sure of which model your vehicle is.
( P. 1 1 )
Your vehicle is designed primarily as a passenger-and-load-car-
rying vehicle. Towing a trailer will have an adverse effect on han-
dling, performance, braking, durability, and fuel consumption.
Your safety and satisfaction depend on the proper use of correct
equipment and cautious driving habits. For your safety and the
safety of others, do not overload the vehicle or trailer.
To tow a trailer safely, use extreme care and drive the vehicle in
accordance with the trailer’s characteristics and operating con-
ditions.
Toyota warranties do not apply to damage or malfunction
caused by towing a trailer for commercial purposes.
Ask your local authorized Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized
repairer, or any reliable repairer for further details before towing,
as there are additional legal requirements in some countries.

3724-5. Using the driving support systems
HILUX_OM_OM0K375E_(EE)
■Four-wheel drive usage frequency (vehicles with A.D.D.)
You should drive in four-wheel drive for at least 16 km (10 miles) each month.
This will assure that the front drive components are lubricated.
■ Shifting between H2 and H4
If you have trouble shifting in cold w eather, reduce your speed or stop the
vehicle and reshift.
■ Shifting to L4 (vehicles with VSC)
VSC is automatically turned off.
■ When driving on dry paved surface roads and expressway
Use H2 position. If the vehicle is driven in H4 or L4 position for a long time, a
warning buzzer sounds, and the four-wheel drive indicator light flashes rap-
idly or a warning message is shown on the multi-information display. If the
warning message is shown on the multi-information display, follow the mes-
sage.
WARNING
■ While driving
● Never turn the front-wheel drive control switch from H2 to H4 if the wheels
are slipping. Stop the slipping or spinning before shifting.
● For normal driving on dry and hard surface roads, use H2 position. Driving
on dry and hard surface roads in H4 or L4 position may cause drive com-
ponent oil leakage, seizure, or other problems resulting in an accident.
Further, it may cause tire wear and increased fuel consumption.
● Avoid turning suddenly in H4 or L4 position. If you do turn suddenly, the
difference in turning speeds between the front and rear wheels may have
a similar effect to braking, thus making driving difficult.
