750 (5 150) = 650 lbs.)
(5) Determine the combined
weight of luggage and cargo
being loaded on the vehicle.
That weight may not safely
exceed the available cargo and
luggage load capacity calcu-
lated in Step 4.
(6) If your vehicle will be towing
a trailer, load from your trailer
will be transferred to your vehi-
cle. Consult this manual to
determine how this reduces the
available cargo and luggage
load capacity of your vehicle.
( P.170)
Toyota does not recommend towing
a trailer with your vehicle. Your
vehicle is not designed for trailer
towing.
Cargo capacity
Total load capacity (vehicle
capacity weight) ( P.482)
When 2 people with the com-
bined weight of A lb. (kg) are rid-
ing in your vehicle, which has a total load capacity (vehicle
capacity weight) of B lb. (kg),
the available amount of cargo
and luggage load capacity will
be C lb. (kg) as follows:
B
*2 lb. (kg) - A*1 lb. (kg) = C*3 lb.
(kg)
*1: A =Weight of people
*2: B =Total load capacity
*3: C =Available cargo and luggage load
In this condition, if 3 more passen-
gers with the combined weight of D
lb. (kg) get on, the available cargo
and luggage load will be reduced E
lb. (kg) as follows:
C lb. (kg) - D*4 lb. (kg) = E*5 lb.
(kg)
*4: D =Additional weight of people
*5: E =Available cargo and luggage load
As shown in the example above,
if the number of occupants
increases, the cargo and lug-
gage load will be reduced by an
amount that equals the
increased weight due to the
additional occupants. In other
words, if an increase in the num-
ber of occupants causes an
excess of the total load capacity
(combined weight of occupants
plus cargo and luggage load),
you must reduce the cargo and
luggage on your vehicle.

your vehicle

■Total load capacity and seating
capacity
These details are also described on
the tire and loading information
label. ( P.415)
Vehicle load limits
Vehicle load limits include
total load capacity, seating
capacity, towing capacity
and cargo capacity.
Total load capacity (vehicle
capacity weight): P.482
Total load capacity means the
combined weight of occu-
pants, cargo and luggage.
Seating capacity: P.482
Seating capacity means the
maximum number of occu-
pants whose estimated aver-
age weight is 150 lb. (68 kg)
per person.
TWR (Trailer Weight Rat-
ing)
Toyota does not recommend
towing a trailer with your vehi-
cle.
Cargo capacity
Cargo capacity may increase
or decrease depending on the
weight and the number of
occupants.
WARNING
■Overloading the vehicle
Do not overload the vehicle.
It may not only cause damage to
the tires, but also degrade steer-
ing and braking ability, resulting in
an accident.

Trailer towing
Toyota does not recom-
mend 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 tow-
ing or for the use of tow
hitch mounted carriers.
Dinghy towing
Your vehicle is not designed
to be dinghy towed (with 4
wheels on the ground)
behind a motor home.
NOTICE
■To avoid serious damage to
your vehicle
Do not tow your vehicle with the
four wheels on the ground.

ers■Temporarily lowering sensor
sensitivity
The sensitivity of the sensor can be
temporarily lowered.
1 Turn the power s witch off while
the following conditions are met.
●The headlight switch is in or
.
●The headlight switch lever is in
low beam position.
●Automatic High Beam switch is
on.
2 Turn the power switch to ON.
3 Within 60 seconds after step 2,
repeat pushing the headlight
switch lever to the high beam
position then pulling it to the orig-
inal position quickly 10 times,
then leave the lever in the origi-
nal position.
4 If the sensitivity is changed, the
AHB indicator is turn on and off 3
times.
■Switching to the high
beams
Push the lever away from you.
The AHB indicator will turn off and

Driving
■Automatic cancelation of con-
stant speed control mode
Constant speed control mode is
automatically cance led in the follow-
ing situations:
●Actual vehicle speed is more than
approximately 10 mph (16 km/h)
below the set vehicle speed.
●Actual vehicle speed falls below
approximately 20 mph (30 km/h).
●VSC is activated.
●TRAC is activated for a period of
time.
●When the VSC or TRAC system is
turned off.
●When the brake control or output
restriction control of a driving sup-
port system operates. (For exam-
ple: Pre-Collision System, Drive-
Start Control)
●When the Br mode is selected.
If constant speed control mode is
automatically canceled for any rea-
sons other than the above, there
may be a malfunction in the system.
Contact your Toyota dealer.
■Situations in which the curve
speed reduction function may
not operate
In situations such as the following,
the curve speed r eduction function
may not operate:
●When the vehicle is being driven
around a gentle curve
●When the accelerator pedal is
being depressed
●When the vehicle is being driven
around an extremely short curve
■Brake operation
A brake operation sound may be
heard and the brake pedal response
may change, but the se are not mal-
functions.
■Warning messages and buzzers
for dynamic radar cruise con-
trol with full-speed range
Warning messages and buzzers are
used to indicate a system malfunc-
tion or to inform the driver of the
need for caution while driving. If a
warning message is shown on the
multi-information display, read the
message and follow the instruc-
tions.( P.210, 451)
■When the sensor may not be
correctly detecting the vehicle
ahead
In the case of the following and
depending on the conditions, oper-
ate the brake pedal when decelera-
tion of the system is insufficient or
operate the accelerator pedal when
acceleration is required.
As the sensor may not be able to
correctly detect th ese types of vehi-
cles, the approach warning
( P.244) may not be activated.
●Vehicles that cut in suddenly
●Vehicles traveling at low speeds
●Vehicles that are not moving in the
same lane
●Vehicles with small rear ends
(trailers with no load on board,
etc.)
●Motorcycles traveling in the same
lane
●When water or snow thrown up by
the surrounding vehicles hinders
the detecting of the sensor
●When your vehicle is pointing
upwards (caused by a heavy load
in the luggage compartment, etc.)
