A recommended tongue
weight or kingpin weight var-
ies in accordance with the
types of trailers or towing as
described below.
To ensure the recommended
values shown below, the
trailer must be loaded by
referring to the following
instructions.
1.Conventional Towing
The gross trailer weight should
be distributed so that the tongue
weight is 9% to 11%. (Tongue
Weight/Gross trailer weight x
100 = 9% to 11%)
Gross trailer weight
Tongue Weight
If using a weight d istributing hitch
when towing, return the front axle to
the same weight as before the
trailer connection.
If front axle weight cannot be mea-
sured directly, measure the front
fender height above the front axle
before connection. Adjust weight
distributing hitch torque until front fender is returned to the same
height as before connection.
Do not reduce front fender height
below original measurement.
The gross trailer weight, gross axle
weight and tongue weight can be
measured with platform scales
found at a highway weighing sta-
tion, building supply company,
trucking company, junk yard, etc.
2.Fifth wheel Towing or Goose-
neck Towing
The gross trailer weight should
be distributed so that the kingpin
weight is 14% to 16%. (Kingpin
weight/Gross trailer weight x
100 = 14% to 16%)
Gross trailer weight
Kingpin weight
The gross trailer weight and kingpin
weight can be measured with plat-
form scales found at a highway
weighing station, building supply
company, trucking company, junk
yard, etc.
Current fifth whee l trailer designs
are not compatible with short bed.

WARNING
●Emergency steering assist may
not operate or may be cancel in
the following cases as the sys-
tem may determine the driver is
taking actions.
• If the accelerato r pedal is being
depressed strongly, the steering
wheel is being operated sharply,
the brake pedal is being
depressed or the turn signal
lever is being ope rated. In this
case, the system may deter-
mine that the driver is taking
evasive action and the emer-
gency steering assist may not
operate.
• The emergency steering assist will be disabled automatically
when the system judges that a
trailer is connected.
• In some situations, while the emergency steering assist is
operating, operation of the func-
tion may be canceled if the
accelerator peda l is depressed
strongly, the st eering wheel is
operated sharply or the brake
pedal is being depressed and
the system determines that the
driver is taking evasive action.
• When the emergency steering assist is operating, if the steer-
ing wheel is held firmly or is
operated in the opposite direc-
tion to that which the system is
generating torque, the function
may be canceled.
■When to disable the pre-colli-
sion system
In the following situations, disable
the system, as it may not operate
properly, possibly leading to an
accident resulting in death or seri-
ous injury:
●When the vehicle is being towed
●When your vehicles is towing a
trailer or another vehicle, except
when the followin g conditions
are all met
• When the other vehicle is a trailer properly attached and
connected to Toyota’s official
TBC ECU. ( P.181)
• When the vehicle is not being driven on a slippery surface
such as an icy road or a very
wet road.
●When transporting the vehicle
via truck, boat, train or similar
means of transportation
●When the vehicle is raised on a
lift with the hybrid system on
and the tires are allowed to
rotate freely
●When inspecting the vehicle
using a drum tester such as a
chassis dynamometer or speed-
ometer tester, or when using an
on vehicle wheel balancer
●When a strong impact is applied
to the front bumper or front
grille, due to an accident or
other reasons
●If the vehicle cannot be driven in
a stable manner, such as when
the vehicle has been in an acci-
dent or is malfunctioning
●When the vehicle is driven in a
sporty manner or off-road
●When the tires are not properly
inflated
●When the tires are very worn
●When tires of a size other than
specified are installed
●When tire chains are installed
●When a compact spare tire or
an emergency tire puncture
repair kit is used

■Enhanced VSC (Enhanced
Vehicle Stability Control)
Provides cooperative control of
the ABS, TRAC, VSC and EPS.
Helps to maintai n directional
stability when swerving on slip-
pery road surfaces by con-
trolling steering performance.
■Trailer Sway Control
Helps the driver to control trailer
sway by selectively applying
brake pressure for individual
wheels and reducing driving
torque when trailer sway is
detected.
■TRAC (Traction Control)
Helps to maintain drive power
and prevent the drive wheels
from spinning when starting the
vehicle or accelerating on slip-
pery roads
■Hill-start assist control
Helps to reduce the backward
movement of the vehicle when
starting on an uphill
■AVS (Adaptive Variable
Suspension System) (if
equipped)
The damping force of the shock
absorbers are independently
controlled for the 4 wheels
according to factors including
the road surface conditions and
driving operation, contributing
toward enhancing smooth driv- ing comfort and superior stabil-
ity, and helping to maintain
vehicle posture.
In addition, the damping force
can be changed by selecting the
drive mode with the driving
mode select (
P.358), and driv-
ing comfort can be ensured
during off-road driving by setting
the front-wheel drive control
switch to “4L”.( P.361)
■EPS (Electric Power Steer-
ing)
Employs an electric motor to
reduce the amount of effort
needed to turn the steering
wheel
■The Secondary Collision
Brake
When the SRS airbag sensor
detects a collision and the sys-
tem operates, the brakes and
brake lights are automatically
controlled to reduce the vehicle
speed and help reduce the pos-
sibility of further damage due to
a secondary collision.
■When the
TRAC/VSC/ABS/Trailer Sway
Control systems are operating
The slip indicator light will flash
while the TRAC/VSC/ABS/Trailer
Sway Control systems are operat-
ing.

porarily, and only in an emer-
gency.
●Make sure to check the tire infla-
tion pressure of the temporary spare tire. (
P.547)
■When using the temporary
spare tire
As the temporary spare tire is not
equipped with the tire pressure
warning valve and transmitter, low
inflation pressure of the spare tire
will not be indicated by the tire pres-
sure warning system. Also, if you
replace the temporary spare tire
after the tire pressure warning light
comes on, the light remains on.
