2-5. Driving information Trailer towing

Your vehicle is designed primarily as a passenger-and-load car- rying vehicle. Towing a trailer will have an adverse effect on han- dling, performance, braking, durability, and fuel consumption. For your safety and the safety of others, do not overload the vehi- cle or trailer. To tow a trailer safely, use extreme care and drive the vehicle in accordance with the trailer’s characteristics and operating condi- tions. The vehicle stability and braking performance are affected by trailer stability, brake setting and performance, and the hitch. Toyota warranties do not apply to damage or malfunction caused by towing a trailer for commercial purposes. Contact your Toyota dealer for further information about additional requirements such as a towing kit, etc.

Trailer towing tips

Your vehicle will handle differently when towing a trailer. In order to avoid accident, death or serious injury, keep the following in mind when towing. ● Before starting out, check the trailer lights 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.

● 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 right. (This is generally opposite to reversing without a trailer attached.) Avoid sharp or prolonged turning. Have someone guide you when reversing to reduce the risk of an acci- dent.

● As stopping distance is increased when towing a trailer, vehicle-to vehicle distance 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 jackknifing and

loss of control. This is especially true on wet or slippery surfaces.

● Avoid jerky starts or sudden acceleration. ● Avoid jerky steering and sharp turns, and slow down before mak-

ing turns.

286

2

2-5. Driving information

● Note that when making a turn, the trailer wheels will be closer than the vehicle wheels to the inside of the turn. Compensate by making a larger than normal turning radius.

● Crosswinds and rough roads will adversely affect handling of your vehicle and trailer, causing sway. Periodically check the rear to prepare for being passed by large trucks or buses, which may cause your vehicle and trailer to sway. If swaying occurs, firmly grip the steering wheel, reduce speed immediately but gradually, and steer straight ahead. Never increase speed. If you make no extreme correction with the steering or brakes, your vehicle and trailer will stabilize.

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

● In order to maintain engine braking efficiency when driving on a long steep downgrade, do not use overdrive. Transmission shift range position must be in 3 (standard type), or “4”, in the S mode (multi-mode type).

● 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, immediately turn off the air condition- ing (if in use), pull your vehicle off the road and stop in a safe spot. (→P. 604)

287

2-5. Driving information

● Always place wheel blocks under both the vehicle and the trailer wheels when parking. Apply the parking brake firmly, and put the transmission in P. Avoid parking on a slope, but if unavoidable, do so only after performing the following:

STEP 1

Apply the brakes and keep them applied. Have someone place wheel blocks under both the vehicle and trailer wheels.

2-5. Driving information

■Service connector for towing brake controller

Your vehicle is equipped with a service connector for the trailer brake controller as shown.

CTH25AS008

■Before towing

Check that the following conditions are met: ●The vehicle’s tires are properly inflated. ●Trailer tires are inflated according to the trailer manufacturer’s recom-

mendation.

●All trailer lights work. ●All lights work each time you connect them. ●The trailer ball is set up at the proper height for the coupler on the trailer. ●The vehicle remains level when a loaded or unloaded trailer is hitched. Do not drive if the vehicle is not level, and check for improper tongue load, overloading, worn suspension, or other possible causes.

●The trailer cargo is securely loaded. ●The rear view mirrors conform to all applicable federal, state/provincial 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 components (such as an engine, transmission, differential and wheel bearing), Toyota recommends that you do not tow a trailer until it has been driven for over 500
miles (800 km). However, avoid full throttle acceleration.

289

2-5. Driving information

■Maintenance

●If you tow a trailer, your vehicle will require more frequent maintenance due to the additional load. (See “Scheduled Maintenance Guide” or “Owner’s Manual Supplement”.)

●Retighten the fixing bolts of the towing ball and bracket after approxi-

mately 600 miles (1000 km) of trailer towing.

CAUTION

■Trailer towing precautions

●Follow all the instructions described in this section. Failure to do so could

cause an accident resulting in death or serious injury.

●Exceeding the towing capacity, GVWR, GCWR and GAWR can cause an

accident resulting in death or serious personal injuries.

■To avoid accident or injury

●Do not exceed 45 mph (72 km/h) or the posted towing speed limit, which- ever is lower. As instability (swaying) of the towing vehicle-trailer combina- tion increases as speed increases, exceeding 45 mph (72 km/h) may cause loss of control.

●Slow down and downshift before descending steep or long downhill

grades. Do not make sudden downshifts.

●Do not exceed the trailer hitch assembly weight, gross vehicle weight,

gross axle weight and trailer tongue load capacities.

●Never load more weight in the back than in the front of the trailer. About 60% of the load should be in the front half of the trailer, and the remaining 40% in the rear.

●Do not use cruise control when you are towing. ●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.

290

2-5. Driving information

CAUTION

■Hitches

●If you wish to install a trailer hitch, contact your Toyota dealer. ●Use only a hitch that conforms to the gross trailer weight requirement. ●Follow the directions supplied by the hitch manufacturer. ●Lubricate the hitch ball with a light coat of grease. ●Remove the trailer hitch whenever you are not towing a trailer. After removing the hitch, seal any mounting hole in the vehicle body to prevent entry of any substances into the vehicle.

■When towing a trailer

●If the gross trailer weight exceeds 1000 lb. (453 kg), trailer brakes are required. Toyota recommends trailers with brakes that conform to all appli- cable federal and state/provincial regulations.

●Never tap into your vehicle’s hydraulic system, as this will lower the vehi-

cle’s braking effectiveness.

●Never tow a trailer without using a safety chain securely attached to both the trailer and the vehicle. If damage occurs to the coupling unit or hitch ball, there is a risk of the trailer wandering into another lane.

291

2-5. Driving information

NOTICE

■When installing a trailer hitch

●Use only the position recommended by your Toyota dealer. Do not install

the trailer hitch on the bumper; this may cause body damage.

●Do not use axle-mounted hitches, as they can cause damage to the axle

housing, wheel bearings, wheels or tires.

■Safety chain

A safety chain must always be used between the towing vehicle and the trailer. Leave sufficient slack in the chain for turns. The chain should cross under the trailer tongue to prevent the tongue from dropping to the ground in the case that it becomes damaged or separated. For the correct safety chain installation procedure, ask your Toyota dealer.

■Do not directly splice trailer lights

Directly splicing trailer lights may damage your vehicle’s electrical system and cause a malfunction.
