Driving
WARNING
●During normal driving, do not 
turn off the engine. Turning the 
engine off while driving will not 
cause loss of steering or brak-
ing control, but the power assist 
to these systems will be lost. 
This will make it more difficult to 
steer and brake, so you should 
pull over and stop the vehicle as 
soon as it is safe to do so.
However, in the event of an 
emergency, such as if it 
becomes impossible to stop the 
vehicle in the normal way: 
P. 3 8 2
●Use engine braking (downshift) 
to maintain a safe speed when 
driving down a steep hill.
Using the brakes continuously 
may cause the brakes to over-
heat and lose effectiveness.  
(
P.168)
●Do not adjust the positions of 
the steering wheel, the seat, or 
the inside or outside rear view 
mirrors while driving.
Doing so may result in a loss of 
vehicle control.
●Always check that all passen-
gers’ arms, heads or other parts 
of their body are not outside the 
vehicle.
●AWD models: Do not drive the 
vehicle off-road.
This is not an AWD vehicle 
designed for off-road driving. 
Proceed with all due caution if it 
becomes unavoidable to drive 
off-road.
●AWD models: Do not drive 
across a river or through other 
bodies of water.
This may cause electric/elec-
tronic components to short cir-
cuit, damage the engine or 
cause other serious damage to 
the vehicle.
●Do not drive in excess of the 
speed limit. Even if the legal 
speed limit permits it, do not 
drive over 85 mph (140 km/h) 
unless your vehicle has 
high-speed capability tires. Driv-
ing over 85 mph (140 km/h) 
may result in tire failure, loss of 
control and possible injury. Be 
sure to consult a tire dealer to 
determine whether the tires on 
your vehicle are high-speed 
capability tires or not before 
driving at such speeds.
■When driving on slippery 
road surfaces
●Sudden braking, acceleration 
and steering may cause tire 
slippage and reduce your ability 
to control the vehicle.
●Sudden acceleration, engine 
braking due to shifting, or 
changes in engine speed could 
cause the vehicle to skid.
●After driving through a puddle, 
lightly depress the brake pedal 
to make sure that the brakes 
are functioning properly. Wet 
brake pads may prevent the 
brakes from functioning prop-
erly. If the brakes on only one 
side are wet and not functioning 
properly, steering control may 
be affected.
■When shifting the shift lever
●Do not let the vehicle roll back-
ward while a fo rward driving 
position is selected, or roll for-
ward while the shift lever is in R.
Doing so may cause the engine 
to stall or lead to poor brake and 
steering performance, resulting 
in an accident or damage to the 
vehicle. 

1524-1. Before driving
■Matching trailer ball height to 
trailer coupler height
No matter which class of tow hitch 
applies, for a more safe trailer 
hookup, the trailer ball setup must 
be the proper height for the coupler 
on the trailer.
Coupler
Trailer ball
■Before towing
Check that the following conditions 
are met:
●Ensure that your vehicle’s tires 
are properly inflated. ( P.434)
●Trailer tires are inflated according 
to the trailer manufacturer’s rec-
ommendation.
●All trailer lights work as required 
by law.
●All lights work each time you con-
nect them.
●The trailer ball is set at the proper 
height for the coupler on the 
trailer.
●The trailer is level when it is 
hitched.
Do not drive if th e trailer is not 
level, and check for improper 
tongue weight, overloading, worn 
suspension, or other possible 
causes.
●The trailer cargo is securely 
loaded.
●The rear view mirr ors conform to 
all applicable fede ral, state/provin-
cial or local regulations. If they do 
not, install rear view mirrors 
appropriate for towing purposes.
■Break-in schedule
If your vehicle is new or equipped 
with any new power train compo-
nents (such as an engine, transaxle, 
transfer [AWD models], rear differ-
ential [AWD models] or wheel bear-
ing), Toyota recommends that you 
do not tow a trailer until the vehicle 
has been driven for over 500 miles 
(800 km).
After the vehicle has been driven for 
over 500 miles (800 km), you can 
start towing. However, for the next 
500 miles (800 km), drive the vehi-
cle at a speed of less than 50 mph 
(80 km/h) when towing a trailer, and 
avoid full throttle acceleration.
■Maintenance
●If you tow a trailer, your vehicle 
will require more fr equent mainte-
nance due to the additional load. 
(See “Scheduled Maintenance 
Guide” or “Owner ’s Manual Sup-
plement”.)
●Retighten the fixing bolts of the 
towing ball and bracket after 
approximately 600 miles (1000 
km) of tra iler towing.
Toyota warranties do not 
apply to damage or mal-
function caused by towing a 
trailer for commercial pur-
poses.
Contact your Toyota dealer 
for further information 
about additional require-
ments such as a towing kit, 
etc.
