●A  recommended  tongue  weight  or  kingpin  weight  varies  in  accor-
dance with the types of trailer s or towing as described below.
● To  ensure  the  recommended  values  shown  below,  the  trailer  must
be loaded by referring to t he following instructions.
1.Conventional Towing The gross trailer weight should be distributed so that the tong ue
weight  is  9%  to  11%.  (Tongue  We ight/Gross  trailer  weight  x  100
= 9% to 11%)
Gross trailer weight
Tongue Weight
If  using  a  weight  distributing  hi tch  when  towing,  return  the  front
axle to the same weight as b efore the trailer connection.
If  front  axle  weight  cannot  be  measured  directly,  measure  the
front fender height above the front  axle before connection. Adjust
weight distributing hitch torque until front fender is returned  to the
same height as b efore connection.
Do not reduce front fender heigh t below original measurement.
The  gross  trailer  weight,  gross  axle  weight  and  tongue  weight
can be measured with platform sca les found at a highway weigh-
ing  station,  building  supply  company,  trucking  company,  junk
yard, etc.

3204-5. Using the driving support systems
Driving assist systems
◆ABS (Anti-lock Brake System)
Helps to prevent wheel lock when the brakes are applied suddenl y,
or if the brakes are applied while  driving on a slippery road surface
◆Brake assist
Generates an increased level of braking force after the brake p edal
is depressed when the system de tects a panic stop situation
◆VSC (Vehicle Stability Control)
Helps  the  driver  to  control  skidding  when  swerving  suddenly  or
turning on slippery road surfaces
◆Trailer Sway Control
Helps the driver to control trailer sway by selectively applying brake
pressure  for  individual  wheels  and  reducing  driving  torque  when
trailer sway is detected
◆TRAC  (Traction  Control)  for  2WD  models  and  2WD  mode  on
4WD models
Helps  to  maintain  drive  power  and  prevent  the  drive  wheels  from
spinning when starting the vehicl e or accelerating on slippery roads
◆Hill-start assist control
Helps to reduce the backward movement of the vehicle when start -
ing on an uphill
To  keep  driving  safety  and  perf ormance,  the  following  systems
operate  automatically  in  respon se  to  various  driving  situations.
Be  aware,  however,  that  these  systems  are  supplementary  and
should  not  be  relied  upon  too  heav ily  when  operating  the  vehi-
cle.

5147-2. Steps to take in an emergency
WARNING
■Replacing a flat tire
●Observe the following precautions.
Failure to do so may result in serious injury:
• Lower  the  spare  tire  completely  to  the  ground  before  removing  it
from under the vehicle.
• Do not try to remove the wheel ornament by hand. Take due care  in
handling the ornament to avoi d unexpected personal injury.
• Do not touch the disc wheels or the area around the brakes imm edi-
ately after the vehicle has been driven.
After  the  vehicle  has  been  driven  the  disc  wheels  and  the  area
around the brakes will be extreme ly hot. Touching these areas with
hands,  feet  or  other  body  parts  while  changing  a  tire,  etc.,  ma y
result in burns.
●Failure  to  follow  these  precautions  could  cause  the  wheel  nuts  to
loosen and the t ire to fall off, resulting in death or serious injury.
• Have the wheel nuts tightened with a torque wrench as soon as  pos-
sible after changing wheels.
Steel wheel: 154 ft·lbf  (209 N·m, 21.3 kgf·m)
Aluminum wheel: 97 ft·lbf (131 N·m, 13.4 kgf·m)
• When  installing  a  tire,  only  use  wheel  nuts  that  have  been  spe cifi-
cally designed for that wheel.
• Retighten the wheel nuts within  100 miles (160 km) of driving.
• If  there  are  any  cracks  or  defo rmations  in  the  bolt  screws,  nut
threads  or  bolt  holes  of  the  wheel,  have  the  vehicle  inspected  by
your Toyota dealer.
• Do  not  attach  a  heavily  damaged  wheel  ornament,  as  it  may  fly  off
the wheel while the  vehicle is moving.
• When  installing  the  wheel  nuts,  b e  sure  to  install  them  with  the
tapered ends facing inward.

WARNING
■Stowing the flat tire
Failure to follow steps listed under stowing the tire may resul t in damage
to the spare tire carrier and loss of the tire, which could res ult in serious
injury or death.

When trouble arises
Vehicles  with  aluminum  wheels:  Remove  the  center  wheel  orna-
ment by pushing from the reverse side.
Lay down the tire with the valve
stem  facing  up  and  install  the
holding  bracket,  inserting  the
claw into the wheel lug nut hole.
Turn  the  jack  handle  extension
clockwise  to  take  up  slack  in
the chain.
Then, check to ensure the claw is
in the wheel lug nut hole and the
holding bracket is centered in the
wheel hub.

Claw
While raising, secure the tire, tak-
ing care that the tire goes straight
up  without  catching  on  any  sur-
rounding  part,  to  prevent  it  from
flying forward during a collision or
sudden braking.
