Trailer hitch assemblies have dif-

ferent weight capacities estab-

lished by the hitch manufacturer.

Even though the vehicle may be

physically capable of towing a

higher weight, the operator must

determine the maximum weight

rating of the particular hitch

assembly and never exceed the

maximum weight rating specified

for the trailer-hitch. Exceeding the

maximum weight rating set by the

trailer-hitch manufacturer can

cause an accident resulting in

death or serious personal injuries.

help avoid an accident, death or
serious injury, keep the following
in mind when towing:



Speed limits for towing a
trailer vary by state or prov-
ince. Do not exceed the
posted towing speed limit.

Trailer towing tips

4-1. Before driving

mph (104 km/h) on a flat,
straight, dry road. Do not
exceed this limit, the posted
towing speed limit or the
speed limit for your trailer as
set forth in your trailer owner’s
manual, whichever is lowest.
Instability of the towing vehi-
cle-trailer combination (trailer
sway) increases as speed
increases. Exceeding speed
limits may cause loss of con-
trol.



Before starting out, check the
trailer lights, tires and the
vehicle-trailer connections.
Recheck after driving a short
distance.



Practice turning, stopping and
reversing with the trailer
attached in an area away
from traffic until you become
accustomed to the feel of the
vehicle-trailer combination.



Reversing with a trailer
attached is difficult and
requires practice. Grip the
bottom of the steering wheel
and move your hand to the
left to move the trailer to the
left. Move your hand to the
right to move the trailer to the
right. (This is generally oppo-
site to reversing without a
trailer attached.) Avoid sharp
or prolonged turning. Have
someone guide you when
reversing to reduce the risk of
an accident.



As stopping distance is
increased when towing a
trailer, vehicle-to-vehicle dis-
tance should be increased.
For each 10 mph (16 km/h) of
speed, allow at least one
vehicle and trailer length.



Avoid sudden braking as you
may skid, resulting in the
trailer jackknifing and a loss of
vehicle control. This is espe-
cially true on wet or slippery
surfaces.



Avoid jerky starts or sudden
acceleration.



Avoid jerky steering and
sharp turns, and slow down
before making a turn.



Note that when making a turn,
the trailer wheels will be
closer than the vehicle wheels
to the inside of the turn. Com-
pensate by making a wider
than normal turning radius.



Slow down before making a
turn, in crosswinds, on wet or
slippery surfaces, etc.
Increasing vehicle speed can
destabilize the trailer.



Take care when passing other
vehicles. Passing requires
considerable distance. After
passing a vehicle, do not for-
get the length of your trailer,
and be sure you have plenty
of room before changing
lanes.



Instability happens more fre-

199

4-1. Before driving

ing

quently when descending
steep or long downhill grades.
Before descending, slow
down and downshift. Do not
make sudden downshifts
while descending steep or
long downhill grades.



Avoid holding the brake pedal
down too long or applying the
brakes too frequently. This
could cause the brakes to
overheat and result in
reduced braking efficiency.



Due to the added load of the
trailer, your vehicle’s engine
may overheat on hot days (at
temperatures over 85°F
[30°C]) when driving up a long
or steep grade. If the engine
coolant temperature gauge
indicates overheating, imme-
diately turn off the air condi-
tioning (if in use), pull your
vehicle off the road and stop
in a safe spot. (



P.541)



Always place wheel blocks
under both the vehicle’s and
the trailer’s wheels when
parking. Apply the parking
brake firmly, and put the
transmission in P. Avoid park-
ing on a slope, but if unavoid-
able, do so only after
performing the following:

Apply the brakes and keep
them applied.

Have someone place wheel
blocks under both the vehi-
cle’s and trailer’s wheels.

When the wheel blocks are in
place, release the brakes
slowly until the blocks absorb
the load.

Apply the parking brake
firmly.

Shift into P and turn off the
engine.



When restarting after parking
on a slope:

With the transmission in P,
start the engine. Be sure to
keep the brake pedal
pressed.

Shift into a forward gear. If
reversing, shift into R.

If the parking brake is in man-
ual mode, release the park-
ing brake. (



P.211)

Release the brake pedal, and
slowly pull or back away from
the wheel blocks. Stop and
apply the brakes.

Have someone retrieve the
blocks.

■

Break-in schedule

If your vehicle is new or equipped

with any new power train compo-

nents (such as an engine, transmis-

sion, transfer [4WD models], rear

differential or wheel bearing), 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

200

4-1. Before driving

avoid full throttle acceleration.

■

Maintenance

●

If you tow a trailer, your vehicle

will require more frequent mainte-

nance due to the additional load.

(See “Owner’s Warranty Informa-

tion Booklet” or “Scheduled Main-

tenance Guide” / “Owner’s Manual

Supplement”.)

●

Retighten the fixing bolts of the

towing ball and bracket after

approximately 600 miles (1000

km) of trailer towing.

■

If trailer sway occurs

One or more factors (crosswinds,

passing vehicles, rough roads, etc.)

can adversely affect handling of

your vehicle and trailer, causing

instability.

●

If trailer swaying occurs:

• Firmly grip the steering wheel.

Steer straight ahead. Do not try to

control trailer swaying by turning

the steering wheel.

• Begin releasing the accelerator

pedal immediately but very gradu-

ally to reduce speed. Do not

increase speed. Do not apply

vehicle brakes.

If you make no extreme correction

with the steering or brakes, your

vehicle and trailer should stabilize.

(if enabled, Trailer Sway Control can

also help to stabilize the vehicle and

trailer.)

●

After the trailer swaying has

stopped:

• Stop in a safe place. Get all occu-

pants out of the vehicle.

• Check the tires of the vehicle and

the trailer.

• Check the load in the trailer. Make

sure the load has not shifted.

Make sure the tongue weight is

appropriate, if possible.

• Check the load in the vehicle.

Make sure the vehicle is not over-

loaded after occupants get in.

If you cannot find any problems, the

speed at which trailer swaying

occurred is beyond the limit of your

particular vehicle-trailer combina-

tion. Drive at a lower speed to pre-

vent instability. Remember that

swaying of the towing vehicle-trailer

increases as speed increases.

4-2. Driving procedures

:Shifting to the D position allows

the system to select a gear suit-
able for the driving conditions.
Setting the shift lever to the D
position is recommended for nor-
mal driving.

:Selecting shift ranges using S

mode restricts the upper limit of
the possible gear ranges, con-
trols engine braking force, and
prevents unnecessary upshifting.

■

Driving on a downhill

On declines, there may be case

where the vehicle shifts down auto-

matically to obtain engine braking.

As a result of the downshifting, the

engine speed may increase.

■

To protect the automatic trans-

mission

●

If the tires spin continually when

the vehicle becomes stuck in mud,

dirt or snow, or if the accelerator

pedal is depressed and released

repeatedly while driving, the auto-

matic transmission temperature

may become too high and the

automatic transmission may be

damaged.

To avoid damaging the automatic

transmission, the system may

temporarily lock the gear. If the

automatic transmission tempera-

ture falls, the gear locking is can-

celed and the automatic

transmission is returned to the

normal operation.

●

If the automatic transmission fluid

temperature is high, “Transmis-

sion Oil Temp. High Stop in a Safe

Place and See Owner’s Manual”

will be displayed on the multi-

information display. Immediately

stop the vehicle in a safe place,

shift the shift lever to P and wait

until the warning message go off.

If the warning message go off, you

may start the vehicle again. If the

warning message do not go off,

contact your Toyota dealer.

■

When driving with dynamic

radar cruise control with full-

speed range (if equipped) or

cruise control (if equipped) acti-

vated

Even when performing the following

actions with the intent of enabling

engine braking, engine braking will

not activate because dynamic radar

cruise control with full-speed range

or cruise control will not be can-

celed.

●

While driving in S mode, down-

shifting to 9, 8, 7, 6, 5 or 4.
