towing a trailer with your vehi-
cle.
Toyota also does not recom-
mend the installation of a tow

scooter, bicycle, etc. Your
vehicle is not designed for
trailer towing or for the use of
tow hitch mounted carriers.
Except for 2ZR-FXE engine for Guadeloupe, Martinique, F. Guiana
and Svalbard
Your vehicle is designed primarily as a passenger carrying vehi -
cle. Towing a trailer will have an adverse effect on handling, per-
formance, braking, durability, and fuel consumption. Your safet y
and satisfaction depend on the proper use of correct equipment
and cautious driving habits. For your safety and the safety of
others, do not overload the vehicle or trailer.
To tow a trailer safely, use extreme care and drive the vehicle in
accordance with the trailer’s characteristics and operating con -
ditions.
