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.143)
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.380)
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 2 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.

WARNING
■Things that must not be car-
ried in the trunk
The following things may cause a
fire if loaded in the trunk:
●Receptacles co ntaining gaso-
line
●Aerosol cans
■Storage precautions
Observe the following precau-
tions.
Failure to do so m ay result in
death or serious injury.
●Stow cargo and luggage in the
trunk whenever possible.
●To prevent cargo and luggage
from sliding forward during
braking, do not stack anything in
the enlarged trunk. Keep cargo
and luggage low, as close to the
floor as possible.
●When you fold down the rear
seats, long items should not be
placed directly behind the front
seats.
●Never allow anyone to ride in
the enlarged trunk. It is not
designed for passengers. They
should ride in their seats with
their seat belts properly fas-
tened. Otherwise, they are
much more likely to suffer death
or serious bodily injury, in the
event of sudden braking, sud-
den swerving or an accident.
●Do not place cargo or luggage
in or on the follo wing locations
as the item may get under the
clutch (manual transmission),
brake or accelerator pedal and
prevent the pedals from being
depressed properly, block the
driver’s vision, or hit the driver
or passengers, causing an acci-
dent:
• At the feet of the driver
• On the front passenger or rear seats (when stacking items)
• On the package tray
• On the instrument panel
• On the dashboard
●Secure all items in the occupant
compartment, as they may shift
and injure someone during sud-
den braking, sudden swerving
or an accident.
■Capacity and distribution
●Do not exceed the maximum
axle weight rating or the total
vehicle weight rating.
●Even if the total load of occu-
pant’s weight and the cargo
load is less than the total load
capacity, do not apply the load
unevenly. Improper loading may
cause deterioration of steering
or braking control which may
cause death or serious injury.

■Total load capacity and seating
capacity
These details are also described on
the tire and loading information
label. ( P.323)
Vehicle load limits
Vehicle load limits include
total load capacity, seating
capacity, towing capacity
and cargo capacity.
Total load capacity (vehicle
capacity weight): P.380
Total load capacity means the
combined weight of occupants,
cargo and luggage.
Seating capacity: P.380
Seating capacity means the max-
imum number of occupants
whose estimated average weight
is 150 lb. (68 kg) per person.
Towing capacity
Toyota does not recommend tow-
ing a trailer with your vehicle.
Cargo capacity
Cargo capacity may increase or
decrease depending on the
weight and the number of occu-
pants.
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.
1444-1. Before driving
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.

detected due to repeated curves,
road dividers or roadside trees
• When vehicles ahead appear in a
faraway lane on a wide road
• When the lights of vehicles ahead are not on
●The high beams may be turned off
if a vehicle ahead that is using fog
lights without its headlights turned
on is detected.
●House lights, street lights, traffic
signals, and illumi nated billboards
or signs and other reflective
objects may cause the high
beams to change to the low
beams, or the low beams to
remain on.
●The following factors may affect
the amount of time taken for the
high beams to turn on or off:
• The brightness of the headlights,
fog lights, and ta il lights of vehi-
cles ahead
• The movement and direction of
vehicles ahead
• When a vehicle ahead only has operational lights on one side
• When a vehicle ahead is a two-wheeled vehicle
• The condition of the road (gradi-
ent, curve, condi tion of the road
surface, etc.)
• The number of passengers and
amount of luggage in the vehicle
• When there is a lag in response due to the limitat ions of the detec-
tion range of the stereo camera
●The high beams may turn on or off
unexpectedly.
●Bicycles or similar vehicles may
not be detected.
●In the following situations the sys-
tem may not be abl e to correctly
detect the surrounding brightness
level. This may cause the low
beams to remain on or the high
beams to flash or dazzle pedestri-
ans or vehicles ahead. In such a
case, it is necess ary to manually
switch between the high and low
beams.
• When driving in inclement weather (heavy rain, snow, fog, sand-
storms, etc.)
• When the windshi eld is obscured
by fog, mist, ice, dirt, etc.
• When the windshield is cracked or damaged
• When the stereo camera is deformed or dirty
• When the temperature of the ste-
reo camera is extremely high
• When the surrounding brightness level is equal to that of headlights,
tail lights or fog lights
• When headlights or tail lights of vehicles ahead are turned off,
dirty, changing color, or not aimed
properly
• When the vehicle is hit by water,
snow, dust, etc. from a preceding
vehicle
• When driving through an area of
intermittently changing brightness
and darkness
• When frequently and repeatedly
driving ascending/descending
roads, or roads with rough, bumpy
or uneven surfaces (such as
stone-paved roads, gravel roads,
etc.)
• When frequently and repeatedly
taking curves or driving on a wind-
ing road
• When there is a h ighly reflective
object ahead of the vehicle, such
as a sign or mirror
• When the back of a preceding
vehicle is highly reflective, such as
a container on a truck
• When the vehicle’s headlights are
damaged or dirty, or are not aimed
properly
• When the vehicle is listing or titling
due to a flat tire, a trailer being
towed, etc.
• Immediately after the engine is
started
• When the headlights are changed between the high beams and low
beams repeatedly in an abnormal
manner
• When the driver believes that the high beams may be flashing or
dazzling pedestrians or other driv-
ers

●The system will not operate cor-
rectly in the following condi-
tions. Do not use Adaptive
Cruise Control or Conventional
Cruise Control.
• The wheels are out of balance (e.g., the balance weight is
removed or misaligned).
*1
• The wheels are out of align-
ment.*1
• A trailer or another vehicle, etc. is being towed.
*1: The wheels and tires have
functions that are critically
important. Be sure to use the
correct ones. (
P.386)
*2: If the brake system warning
light (red) does not turn off,
immediately pull the vehicle
over in a safe place and con-
tact a Toyota dealer to have the
system inspected.
*3: For details about the meter, refer to P.88.
NOTICE
●The characteristics of the stereo
camera are simila r to those of
human eyes. For this reason,
conditions that make it difficult
for the driver to see in the for-
ward direction have the same
effect on the stereo camera.
They also make it difficult for the
system to detect vehicles,
obstacles, and traffic lanes.
●Detection by the EyeSight sys-
tem is limited to objects that are
within the range of the stereo
camera’s field of view. Also,
after an object enters the range
of the camera’s field of view, it
may take some time for the sys-
tem to detect it as a controllable
target and to warn the driver.
Low objects surrounding the
vehicle cannot be detected.

Pre-Collision Braking
System*
When there is the risk of a
rear-end collision with an
obstacle or pedestrian in
front, the EyeSight system
helps to prevent or minimize
a collision by warning the
driver. If the driver still does
not take evasive action to
avoid a collision, the brakes
can be automatically
applied just before the colli-
sion in order to reduce
impact damage, or if possi-
ble, prevent the collision. If
the driver takes evasive
action to avoid a collision,
Pre-Collision Braking Assist
will operate in order to help
the driver to prevent or min-
imize the collision.
This function can be acti-
vated when the shift lever is
in the D, M or N position.
