●Idling stop (if equipped)
Displays the total idling stop time (engine stop time via the Stop &
Start system) since the function was reset and the engine was
started respectively. ( P. 382)
● Eco Driving Indicator Zone Display
Displays Zone of Eco driving with current Eco driving ratio based on
acceleration. ( P. 130)
● Eco Score
Displays the eco-driving total count to help improve the customer’s
eco driving techniques. ( P. 146)
● Eco Saving
Displays the fuel consumption comparison, the average fuel con-
sumption after reset, and the cost of the consumed fuel. ( P. 147)
● Vehicle sway warning (if equipped)
Detects the sway of the vehicle within a lane, which is often associ-
ated with a decrease in the driver’s attention level, and displays the
decrease in attention using a bar display.
The longer the bar length, the more the driver may need to rest.
This display is a part of the LDA ( Lane Departure Alert) system. The dis-
play is enabled when the operating conditions of the vehicle sway warn-
ing function are met. ( P. 334)
●Display off
A blank screen is displayed.

Driving
HILUX_OM_OM0K375E_(EE)
Your vehicle will handle differently when towing a trailer. In order to
avoid accident death or serious injury, keep the following in mind
when towing:
■Checking connections between trailer and lights
Stop the vehicle and check the operation of the connection between
the trailer and lights after driving for a brief period as well as before
starting off.
■Practicing driving with a coupled trailer
● Get the feel for turning, stopping and reversing with the trailer
coupled by practicing in an area with no or light traffic.
● When reversing with a coupled trailer, hold the section of the
steering wheel nearest to you and rotate clockwise to turn the
trailer left or counterclockwise to turn it right. Always rotate a little
at a time to prevent steering error. Have someone guide you
when reversing to lessen the risk of accident.
■Increasing vehicle-to-vehicle distance
At a speed of 10 km/h (6 mph), the distance to the vehicle running
ahead of you should be equivalent to or greater than the combined
length of your vehicle and trailer. Avoid sudden braking that may
cause skidding. Otherwise, the vehicle may spin out of control. This
is especially true when driving on wet or slippery road surfaces.
■Sudden acceleration/steering input/cornering
Executing sharp turns when towing may result in the trailer colliding
with your vehicle. Decelerate well in advance when approaching
turns and take them slowly and carefully to avoid sudden braking.
■Important points regarding turning
The wheels of the trailer will travel closer to the inside of the curve
than the wheels of the vehicle. To make allowance for this, take the
turns wider than you would normally do.
Guidance

2564-1. Before driving
HILUX_OM_OM0K375E_(EE)
■Important points regarding stability
Vehicle movement resulting from uneven road surfaces and strong
crosswinds will affect handling. The vehicle may also be rocked by
passing buses or large trucks. Frequently check behind when mov-
ing alongside such vehicles. As soon as such vehicle movement
occurs, immediately start to decelerate smoothly by slowly applying
the brakes. Always steer the vehicle straight ahead while braking.
■Passing other vehicles
Consider the total combined length of your vehicle and trailer and
ensure that the vehicle-to-vehicle distance is sufficient before exe-
cuting lane changes.
■Transmission information
Vehicles with manual transmission: To maintain engine braking effi-
ciency when using engine braking, do not use 5th gear and 6th
gear.
Vehicles with automatic transmission: To maintain engine braking
efficiency when using engine braking, do not use the transmission
in D. Transmission shift range position must be in 4 or lower, in S
mode.
■If the engine overheats
Towing a loaded trailer up a long, steep incline in temperatures
exceeding 30 C (85F) may result in the engine overheating. If the
engine coolant temperature gauge indicates that the engine is over-
heating, turn the air conditioning off immediately, leave the road and
stop the vehicle in a safe place. ( P. 645)
■When parking the vehicle
Always place wheel chocks under the wheels of both the vehicle
and trailer. Firmly set the parking brake and shift the shift lever to P
for automatic transmissions, and 1 or R for manual transmissions.

3824-5. Using the driving support systems
HILUX_OM_OM0K375E_(EE)
■ If an odor comes from the air conditioning system while the engine is
stopped by the Stop & Start system
Vehicles with manual air conditioning system:
If the idling stop time is set to “Long”, change the setting to “Normal”. If an
odor occurs even when “Normal” is selected, press the Stop & Start cancel
switch to deactivate the Stop & Start system.
Vehicles with automatic air conditioning system:
Press the Stop & Start cancel switch to deactivate the Stop & Start system.
■ Changing the idling stop time with the air conditioning system on
The length of time the Stop & Start system will operate when the air condition-
ing system is on can be changed by performing the following operation. (The
length of time the Stop & Start system will operate when the air conditioning
system is off cannot be changed.)
Use the meter control switches to select while the vehicle is stopped
and press , and select and press .
Select “Normal” or “Long”, and then press .
■ The Stop & Start system protection function
● When an excessively loud sound is being projected by the audio system,
the audio system may be automatically cut off in order to reduce battery
consumption. If this occurs, turn the engine switch to the “LOCK” position
(vehicles without smart entry & start sy stem) or off (vehicles with smart entry
& start system), wait for 3 seconds or longer and then turn it to the “ACC” or
“ON” position (vehicles without smart entry & start system), or ACCES-
SORY mode or IGNITION ON mode (vehicles with smart entry & start sys-
tem) to re-enable the audio system.
● The audio system may not be activated when the battery terminals are dis-
connected and then reconnected. If this occurs, turn the engine switch to
the “LOCK” position (vehicles without smart entry & start system) or off
(vehicles with smart entry & start system), and then repeat the following
operation twice to activate the audio system normally.
• Turn the engine switch to the “ON” position (vehicles without smart entry
& start system), or IGNITION ON mode (vehicles with smart entry & start
system), and then to the “LOCK” position (vehicles without smart entry &
start system) or off (vehicles with smart entry & start system).
