Driving
Check the allowable towing capac- 
ity, GVM (Gross Vehicle Mass),  
MPAC (Maximum Permissible Axle  
Capacity), and permissible draw- 
bar load before towing. ( P. 4 8 4 ) 
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 vehicle 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.484) 
When towing a trailer, use a friction  
coupler or friction stabilizer (sway con-
Trailer towing
Your vehicle is designed pri- 
marily as a passenger carrying  
vehicle. Towing a trailer will  
have an adverse effect on han- 
dling, performance, braking,  
durability, and fuel consump- 
tion. Your safety and satisfac- 
tion depend on the proper use  
of correct equipment and cau- 
tious 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 accordance with the  
trailer’s characteristics and  
operating conditions. 
Toyota warranties do not apply  
to damage or malfunction  
caused by towing a trailer for  
commercial purposes. 
Contact any authorized Toyota  
retailer or Toyota authorized  
repairer, or any reliable  
repairer for further information  
about additional requirements  
such as towing kits, etc.

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.484)
■Information tag (manufac- 
turer’s label) 
Gross vehicle mass
The combined weight of the driver, pas- 
sengers, luggage, towing hitch, total 
curb mass and drawbar load should not 
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.1 511 mm (20.1 in.) 
2 513 mm (20.2 in.)
WARNING
■When the gross vehicle mass or  maximum permissible axle  
capacity is exceeded 
Failing to observe this precaution may  lead to an accident causing death or  
serious injury.
●Add an additional 20.0 kPa (0.2  
kgf/cm2 or bar, 3 psi) to the recom- mended tire inflation pressure  
value. ( P.490)
●Do not exceed the established  
speed limit for towing a trailer in  built-up areas or 100 km/h (62 mph), whichever is the lower.

5 335 mm (13.2 in.) 
6 30 mm (1.2 in.)

■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.490)
●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 incorrect installation  may cause damage to the vehicle’s lights. Please take care to comply with  
your state’s laws when installing trailer  lights.
■When towing a trailer 
Disable the following systems, as the  systems may not operate properly.
●LTA (Lane Tracing Assist) ( P. 2 4 2 )
●Dynamic radar cruise control with full- 
speed range ( P.252)
●PKSB (Parking Support Brake)  
( P.291)
●BSM (Blind Spot Monitor) (P.270)
●Toyota parking assist-sensor  ( P.275)
●RCTA (Rear Cross Traffic Alert) func- tion ( P.285)
■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).
