1704-1. Before driving
Check the allowable towing capac-
ity, GVM (Gross Vehicle Mass),
MPAC (Maximum Permissible Axle
Trailer towing
For this model, only vehicles
with a towing package can tow
another vehicle. Before towing,
check the gross combination
vehicle mass and gross vehi-
cle mass described on the
information tag (manufac-
turer's label) to see whether or
not your vehicle can tow
another vehicle. ( P.171)
If the gross combination vehi-
cle mass is greater than the
gross vehicle mass, your vehi-
cle is equipped with a towing
package and can tow another
vehicle. On the other hand, if
the gross combination vehicle
mass is the same as the gross
vehicle mass, your vehicle is
not equipped with a towing
package and cannot tow
another vehicle.
Vehicles without a towing
package
Toyota does not recommend towing
a trailer with your vehicle. Toyota also
does not recommend the installation
of a tow hitch or the use of a tow
hitch carrier for a wheelchair, scooter,
bicycle, etc. Your vehicle is not
designed for trailer towing or for the
use of tow hitch mounted carriers.
Vehicles with a towing pack-
age
Your vehicle is designed primarily as
a passenger carrying vehicle. Towing
a trailer will have an adverse effect
on handling, performance, braking,
durability, and fuel consumption. Your
safety 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 accor-
dance with the trailer’s characteris-
tics and operating conditions.
Toyota warranties do not apply to
damage or malfunction caused by
towing a trailer for commercial pur-
poses.
Ask your local authorized Toyota
retailer or Toyota authorized repairer,
or any reliable repairer for further
details before towing, as there are
additional legal requirements in some
countries.
Weight limits
1764-1. Before driving
must be in M and select gear step 4
or lower. ( P. 1 8 2 )
Manual transmission
Refrain from driving in 6th gear to
maintain the effectiveness of
engine braking and to maintain
charging system performance.
■If the engine overheats
Towing a loaded trailer up a long,
steep incline in temperatures
exceeding 30°C (85°F) may result
in the engine overheating. If the
engine coolant temperature gauge
indicates that the engine is over-
heating, turn the air conditioning off
immediately, leave the road and
stop the vehicle in a safe place.
( P.560)
■When parking the vehicle
Always place wheel chocks under
the wheels of both the vehicle and
trailer. Firmly set the parking brake
and shift the shift lever to P
(Multidrive) and 1 or R (manual
transmission).
WA R N I N G
Follow all the instructions described in this section. Failure to do so could
cause an accident resulting in death
or serious injury.
■Trailer towing precautions
When towing, make sure that none of the weight limits are exceeded.
( P.171)
■Vehicle speed in towing
Observe the legal maximum speeds
for trailer towing.
■Before descending hills or long declines
Reduce speed and downshift. How-
ever, never downshift suddenly while descending steep or long downhill
grades.
■Operation of the brake pedal
Do not hold the brake pedal
depressed often or for long periods of time. Doing so may result in the brake
overheating or reduce braking effects.
■To avoid accident or injury
●Vehicles with a compact spare tire:
Do not tow a trailer when the com- pact spare tire is installed on your
vehicle.
●Vehicles with the emergency tire
puncture repair kit: Do not tow a
trailer when the tire installed is repaired with the emergency tire
puncture repair kit.
●Do not use the following systems
when trailer towing.
• Cruise control (if equipped)
• Dynamic radar cruise control (if
equipped)
• Dynamic radar cruise control with
full-speed range (if equipped)
