●While Drive-Start Control is being acti- vated, your vehicle may have trouble  
escaping from the mud or fresh snow. 
In such case, deactivate TRC  ( P.358) to cancel Drive-Start Control  
so that the vehicle may become able 
to escape from the mud or fresh snow.
■Breaking in your new Toyota 
To extend the life of the vehicle, observ- 
ing the following precautions is recom-
mended:
●For the first 300 km (186 miles): 
Avoid sudden stops.
●For the first 800 km (500 miles):
Do not tow a trailer.
●For the first 1000 km (621 miles): 
• Do not drive at extremely high  speeds. 
• Avoid sudden acceleration.
• Do not drive continuously in low  gears. 
• Do not drive at a constant speed for  
extended periods.
■Operating your vehicle in a foreign  
country 
Comply with the relevant vehicle regis- 
tration laws and confirm the availability 
of the correct fuel. ( P.568)
■Idling time before engine stop 
To prevent damage to the turbocharger,  
allow the engine to idle immediately 
after high-speed driving or hill climbing.

Observe the following precautions. 
Failure to do so may result in death or 
serious injury.
■When starting the vehicle (vehi-
cles with a Multidrive) 
Always keep your foot on the brake  
pedal while stopped with the engine 
running. This prevents the vehicle  from creeping.
■When driving the vehicle
●Do not drive if you are unfamiliar  
with the location of the brake and 
accelerator pedals to avoid  depressing the wrong pedal. 
• Accidentally depressing the accel- 
erator pedal instead of the brake  pedal will result in sudden accelera- 
tion that may lead to an accident. 

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.

Capacity), and permissible drawbar  
load before towing. ( P.566) 
Toyota recommends the use of the  
Toyota hitch/bracket for your vehi-
cle. Other products of a suitable 
nature and comparable quality may 
also be used. 
For vehicles where the towing  
device blocks any of the lights or 
license plate, the following shall be 
observed: 
 Do not use towing devices that  
cannot be easily removed or 
repositioned. 
 Towing devices must be  
removed or repositioned when 
not in use.
■Total trailer weight and per-
missible drawbar load 
Total trailer weight
Weight of the trailer itself plus the trailer  
load should be within the maximum 
towing capacity. Exceeding this weight  
is dangerous. ( P.566) 
When towing a trailer, use a friction  
coupler or friction stabilizer (sway con-
trol device).
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.566)
■Information tag (manufac- 
turer’s label) 
Gross combination vehicle mass
The sum of the total vehicle weight and  
the weight of the trailer being towed can 
be used to judge whether or not the 
vehicle can be used to tow another 
vehicle. 
If the gross combination vehicle mass  
is greater than the gross vehicle mass, 
your vehicle is equipped with a towing 
package and can tow another vehicle. 
On the other hand, if the gross combi-
nation vehicle mass is the same as the 
gross vehicle mass, your vehicle is not 
equipped with a towing package and 
cannot tow another vehicle.

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 engine output 
and towing capacity will be reduced at 
high altitudes.

●Add an additional 20.0 kPa (0.2  
kgf/cm2 or bar, 3 psi) to the recom- mended tire inflation pressure  
value. ( P.573)
●Do not exceed the established

■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.566)
●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 in correct 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).
Your vehicle will handle differently  
when towing a trailer. In order to 
avoid accident, death or serious 
injury, keep the following in mind 
when towing:
■Checking connections 
between trailer and lights 
Stop the vehicle and check the 
NOTICE
■When the rear bumper strength- 
ening material is aluminum 
Ensure the steel bracket part does not  
come directly in contact with that 
area. When steel and aluminum come into  
contact, there is a reaction similar to 
corrosion, which will weaken the sec- tion concerned and may result in  
damage. Apply a rust inhibitor to parts 
that will come in contact when attach- ing a steel bracket.

Driving
operation of the connection  
between the trailer and lights after 
driving for a brief period as well as 
before starting off.
■Practicing driving with a cou-
pled trailer 
 Get the feel for turning, stopping  
and reversing with the trailer 
coupled by practicing in an area 
with no or light traffic. 
 When reversing with a coupled  
trailer, hold the section of the 
steering wheel nearest to you 
and rotate clockw ise to turn the  
trailer left or counterclockwise to 
turn it right. Always rotate a little 
at a time to prevent steering 
error. Have someone guide you 
when reversing to lessen the risk 
of an accident.
■Increasing vehicle-to-vehicle 
distance 
At a speed of 10 km/h (6 mph), the  
distance to the vehicle running 
ahead of you should be equivalent 
to or greater than the combined 
length of your vehicle and trailer. 
Avoid sudden braking that may 
cause skidding. Otherwise, the 
vehicle may spin out of control. This 
is especially true when driving on 
wet or slippery road surfaces.
■Sudden acceleration/steering 
input/cornering 
Executing sharp turns when towing  
may result in th e trailer colliding  
with your vehicle. Decelerate well in  
advance when approaching turns  
and take them slowly and carefully 
to avoid sudden braking.
■Important points regarding 
turning 
The wheels of the tr ailer will travel  
closer to the inside of the curve 
than the wheels of the vehicle. To 
make allowance for this, take the 
turns wider than you would nor-
mally do.
■Important points regarding 
stability 
Vehicle movement resulting from  
uneven road surfaces and strong 
crosswinds will affect handling. The 
vehicle may also be rocked by 
passing buses or  large trucks. Fre- 
quently check behind when moving  
alongside such vehicles. As soon  
as such vehicle movement occurs, 
immediately start to decelerate 
smoothly by slowly applying the 
brakes. Always steer the vehicle 
straight ahead while braking.
■Passing other vehicles 
Consider the total combined length  
of your vehicle and trailer and 
ensure that the vehicle-to-vehicle 
distance is sufficient before execut-
ing lane changes.
