■Information tag (manufacturer’s label) 
Gross vehicle mass
The  combined  weight  of  the  driver,  passengers,  luggage,  towing  hitch, 
total  curb  mass  and  drawbar  load  should  not  exceed  the  gross  ve hicle 
mass by more than 100 kg (220.5 lb.). Exceeding this weight is  danger- 
ous.
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  weig ht  is 
dangerous. 
The  values  for  towing  capacity  were  derived  from  testing  conduc ted  at 
sea  level.  Take  note  that  engine  output  and  towing  capacity  wil l  be 
reduced at high altitudes.
Ty pe  AType B
WARNING
■ When the gross vehicle mass or maximum permissible axle capacity is 
exceeded 
Failing to observe this precaution may lead to an accident caus ing death or 
serious injury. 
● Add an additional 20.0 kPa (0.2 kgf/cm2 or bar, 3 psi) to the recommended 
tire inflation pressure value. ( P. 776) 
● 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. 

3004-1. Before driving
C-HR_HV_OM_Europe_OM10720E
■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. 776) 
● Increase  the  air  pressure  of  the  trailer  tires  in  accordance  with  the  total 
trailer  weight  and  according  to  the  values  recommended  by  the  m anufac- 
turer of your trailer. 
■ Trailer lights 
Please consult at any authorized 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  compl y  with  your 
state’s laws when installing trailer lights. 
■ Break-in schedule 
Toyota  recommends  that  vehicles  fitted  with  new  power  train  com ponents 
should not be used for towing trailers for the first 800 km (50 0 miles). 
■ Safety checks before towing 
● Check that the maximum load limit for the towing hitch/bracket and hitch ball 
is not exceeded. Bear in mind that the coupling weight of the t railer will add 
to the load exerted on the vehicle. Also make sure that the tot al load exerted 
on the vehicle is within the range of the weight limits. ( P. 297) 
● Ensure that the trailer load is secure. 
● Supplementary  outside  rear  view  mirrors  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 burden placed on the vehicle c ompared to 
normal driving. 
● Retighten  all  bolts  securing  the  hitching  ball  and  bracket  after  towing  for 
approximately 1000 km (600 miles).

● For  region A:  In  addition  to  the  above,  in  some  situations,  such  as  the  fol- 
lowing, the emergency steering assist may not operate. 
• For region A: When the white (yellow) lane lines are difficult  to see, such 
as when they are faint, diverging/merging, or a shadow is cast  upon them 
• For region A: When the lane is wider or narrower than normal 
• For region A: When there is a light and dark pattern on the ro ad surface, 
such as due to road repairs 
• For  region A:  When  a  pedestrian  is  detected  near  the  centerlin e  of  the 
vehicle 
• For region A: When the target is too close 
• For  region A:  When  there  is  insufficient  safe  or  unobstructed  space  for 
the vehicle to be steered into 
• For region A: If oncoming vehicle is present 
• For region A: If VSC function is operating 
● In some situations such as the following, sufficient braking force or steering 
force (for  region A)  may  not  be  obtained,  preventing  the  system  from  per- 
forming properly: 
• If  the  braking  functions  cannot  operate  to  their  full  extent,  such  as  when 
the brake parts are extremely cold, extremely hot, or wet 
• If  the  vehicle  is  not  properly  maintained  (brakes  or  tires  are   excessively 
worn, improper tire inflation pressure, etc.) 
• When  the  vehicle  is  being  driven  on  a  gravel  road  or  other  sli ppery  sur- 
face 
• When the road surface has deep wheel tracks 
• When driving on a hill road 
• When driving on a road that has inclines to the left or right 
■ If VSC is disabled 
● If VSC is disabled (P. 535), the pre-collision brake assist and pre-collision 
braking functions are also disabled. 
● The PCS warning light will turn on and “VSC Turned Off. Pre-Collision Brake 
System Unavailable.” will be displayed on the multi-information  display.
