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)

● 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.

◆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

( 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.
