2-1. Electric vehicle system
Use the air conditioning only
when necessary. Doing so can
help reduce excessive electricity
consumption.
In summer: When the ambient tem-
perature is high, use the recirculated air
mode. Doing so will help to reduce the
burden on the air conditioning system
and reduce electricity consumption as
well.
In winter: Excessive or unnecessary
heating should be avoided. Also, elec-
tricity consumption can be improved by
avoiding overuse of the heater.
 When using the Remote Air Con-
ditioning System ( P.427) while
the AC charging cable is con-
nected to the vehicle, electricity
consumption immediately after
starting off will be reduced
because air conditioning is oper-
ated mainly using electricity from
an external power source.
Make sure to check the tire inflation
pressure frequently. Improper tire
inflation pressure can cause poor
electricity consumption.
Also, as snow tires can cause large
amounts of friction, their use on dry
roads will lead to poor electricity
consumption. Use tires that are
appropriate for the season.
Carrying heavy luggage will lead to
poor electricity consumption. Avoid
carrying unnecessary luggage.

When the following unusual opera-
tion is performed with the accelera-
tor pedal depressed, the EV system
output may be restrained.
• When the shift position to R*.
• When the shift position is shifted
from P or R to forward drive shift
position such as D*.
When the system operates, a mes-
sage appears on the multi-informa-
tion display. Read the message and
follow the instruction.
NOTICE
■If you get a flat tire while driving
A flat or damaged tire may cause the
following situations. Hold the steering wheel firmly and gradually depress the brake pedal to slow down the
vehicle.
●It may be difficult to control your vehicle.
●The vehicle will make abnormal sounds or vibrations.
●The vehicle will lean abnormally.
Information on what to do in case of a
flat tire ( P.528)
■When encountering flooded
roads
Do not drive on a road that has flooded after heavy rain, etc. Doing so
may cause the following serious dam- age to the vehicle:
●Short in electrical components
●Traction battery damage caused by
water immersion
In the event that you drive on a
flooded road and the vehicle is flooded, be sure to have any autho-rized Toyota retailer or Toyota autho-
rized repairer, or any reliable repairer check the following:
●Brake function
●Changes in quantity and quality of transmission fluid, etc.
●Lubricant condition for the bearings and suspension joints (where possi-
ble), and the function of all joints, bearings, etc.
●Components connected to the trac-tion battery.
If the shift control system is damaged
by flooding, it may not be possible to
shift the shift position to P, or from P
to other positions. In this case, con-
tact any authorized Toyota retailer or
Toyota authorized repairer, or any reli-
able repairer.
■When parking the vehicle
Always set the parking brake, and
shift the shift position to P. Failure to do so may cause the vehicle to move or the vehicle may accelerate sud-
denly if the accelerator pedal is acci- dentally depressed.
■When involved in a minor acci-dent
Damage to the traction battery or bat-
tery peripheral components could cause malfunctions. Even if it is a minor accident, have the vehicle
inspected by any authorized Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or any reliable repairer.

Permissible drawbar load
Allocate the trailer load so that the
drawbar load is greater than 25 kg
(55.1 lb.) or 4% of the towing capacity.
Do not let the drawbar load exceed the
indicated weight. ( P.554)
■Information tag (manufac-
turer’s label)
Gross vehicle mass
The combined weight of the driver, pas-
sengers, luggage, towing hitch, total
curb mass and drawbar load should not
exceed the gross vehicle mass by more
than 100 kg (220.5 lb.). Exceeding this
weight is dangerous.
Maximum permissible rear axle
capacity
The weight borne by the rear axle
should not exceed the maximum per-
missible rear axle capacity by 15% or
more. Exceeding this weight is danger-
ous. The values for towing capacity
were derived from testing conducted at
sea level. Take note that EV system
output and towing capacity will be
reduced at high altitudes.1 538 mm (21.2 in.)
2 538 mm (21.2 in.)
WARNING
■When the gross vehicle mass or maximum permissible axle
capacity is exceeded
Failing to observe this precaution may lead to an accident causing death or
serious injury.
●Add an additional 20.0 kPa (0.2
kgf/cm2 or bar, 3 psi) to the recom- mended tire inflation pressure
value. ( P.559)
●Do not exceed the established
speed limit for towing a trailer in built-up areas or 100 km/h (62 mph), whichever is the lower.

5 439 mm (17.3 in.)
6 100 mm (4.0 in.)

■Tire information
●Increase the tire inflation pressure to
20.0 kPa (0.2 kgf/cm2 or bar, 3 psi) greater than the recommended value when towing. ( P.559)
●Increase the air pressure of the trailer tires in accordance with the total
trailer weight and according to the val- ues recommended by the manufac-turer of your trailer.
■Trailer lights
Please consult any authorized Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or any reliable repairer when installing
trailer lights, as incorrect installation may cause damage to the vehicle’s lights. Please take care to comply with
your state’s laws when installing trailer lights.
■Break-in schedule
Toyota recommends that vehicles fitted with new power train components should not be used for towing trailers for
the first 800 km (500 miles).
■Safety checks before towing
●Check that the maximum load limit for
the towing hitch/bracket hitch ball is not exceeded. Bear in mind that the coupling weight of the trailer will add
to the load exerted on the vehicle. Also make sure that you will not be towing a load that exceeds the maxi-
mum permissible axle capacity.
●Ensure that the trailer load is secure.
●Supplementary outside rear view mir- rors should be added to the vehicle if
the traffic behind cannot be clearly seen with standard mirrors. Adjust the extending arms of these mirrors on
both sides of the vehicle so that they always provide maximum visibility of the road behind.
■Maintenance
●Maintenance must be performed more frequently when using the vehicle for
towing due to the greater weight bur- den placed on the vehicle compared to normal driving.
●Retighten all bolts securing the hitch-ing ball and bracket after towing for
approximately 1000 km (600 miles).
■If trailer sway occurs
One or more factors (crosswinds, pass- ing vehicles, rough roads, etc.) can
adversely affect handling of your vehicle and trailer, causing instability.
●If trailer swaying occurs:• Firmly grip the steering wheel. Steer straight ahead.
Do not try to control trailer swaying by turning the steering wheel.• Begin releasing the accelerator pedal
immediately but very gradually to reduce speed.
Do not increase speed. Do not apply
vehicle brakes.
