2020 TOYOTA PROACE VERSO towing capacity

When towing
Distribution of loads
F Distribute the load in the trailer so that the heaviest items are as close as possible to the axle and the nose weight approaches the maximum permitted without exceeding it.Air density decreases with altitude, thus reducing engine per formance. Above 1 000 metres, the maximum towed load must be reduced by 10 % for every 1 000 metres of altitude.
Side wind
F Take into account the increased sensitivity to side wind.
Cooling
Towing a trailer on a slope increases the temperature of the coolant.As the fan is electrically controlled, its cooling capacity is not dependent on the engine speed.F To lower the engine speed, reduce your speed.The maximum towed load on a long incline depends on the gradient and the ambient temperature.In all cases, keep a check on the coolant temperature.
F If the warning lamp and the STOP warning lamp come on, stop the vehicle and switch off the engine as soon as possible.
Braking
Towing a trailer increases the braking distance.To avoid overheating of the brakes, the use of engine braking is recommended.
Ty r e s
F Check the tyre pressures of the towing vehicle and of the trailer, obser ving the recommended pressures.
Lighting
F Check the electrical lighting and signalling on the trailer and the headlamp beam height of your vehicle.
For more information on Weights, refer to the corresponding section.
The rear parking sensors will be deactivated automatically to avoid the audible signal if a genuine Toyota towbar is used.
If the ambient temperature is high, it is recommended that the engine be allowed to idle for 1 to 2 minutes after the vehicle comes to a stop, to facilitate its cooling.
For more information on Adjusting the headlamp beam height, refer to the corresponding section.

Access to the tools
The towing eye is stowed in the tool box.
For more information on the Tool box, refer to the corresponding section.
Procedure for having your vehicle towed or for towing another vehicle using a removable towing eye.
If your vehicle is fitted with a manual gearbox, put the gear lever into neutral.
If your vehicle has an automatic or electronic gearbox, place the gear selector at position N.
The failure to obser ve this special point may lead to damage to components of the braking system and the lack of braking assistance on restarting the engine.

Engine characteristics
The engine characteristics (capacity, maximum power, maximum power speed, fuel, CO2 emissions...) for your vehicle are given in the registration document, as well as in sales brochures.These characteristics correspond to the values type-approved on a test bed, under conditions defined in European legislation (Directive 1999/99/EC).For more information, contact an authorized Toyota dealer or repairer, or another duly qualified and equipped professional.
Weights
The kerb weight is equal to the unladen weight + driver (75 kg).The GTW and towed load values indicated apply up to a maximum altitude of 1 000 metres; the towed load mentioned must be reduced by 10 % for every additional 1 000 metres..The weight of the braked trailer can be increased, within the GTW limit, on condition that the GV W of the towing vehicle is reduced by the same amount.The recommended nose weight is the vertical load on the towbar ball (removable with or without tools).
High ambient temperatures may result in a reduction in the per formance of the vehicle to protect the engine; when the ambient temperature is higher than 37 °C, limit the towed weight.
If the ambient temperature is high, it is recommended that the engine be allowed to idle for 1 to 2 minutes after the vehicle comes to a stop, to facilitate its cooling.
Towing with a lightly loaded vehicle can adversely affect roadholding.Braking distances are increased when towing a trailer.Never exceed 60 mph (100 km/h) when towing (comply with the legislation in force in your country).
GV W: gross vehicle weight, the maximum authorised vehicle weight.GT W: gross train weight, the maximum authorised weight of vehicle plus trailer.
Weights and towed loads
The maximum weights and towed loads for your vehicle are given are given in the registration document, as well as in sales brochures.These values are also present on the manufacturer's plate or label.For more information, contact an authorized Toyota dealer or repairer, or another duly qualified and equipped professional.
