2-5. Driving information Winter driving tips


Carry out the necessary preparations and inspections before driving the vehicle in winter. Always drive the vehicle in a manner appropri- ate to the prevailing weather conditions. ■ Pre-winter preparations


● Use fluids that are appropriate to the prevailing outside tem-


peratures. • Engine oil • Engine coolant • Washer fluid


● Have a service technician inspect the level and specific grav-


ity of battery electrolyte.


● Have the vehicle fitted with four snow tires or purchase a set


of tire chains for the rear tires. Ensure that all tires are the same size and brand, and that chains match the size of the tires. ■ Before driving the vehicle


Perform the following according to the driving conditions. ● Do not try to forcibly open a window, scrape an outside rear view mirror surface or move a wiper or outside rear view mir- ror that is frozen. Pour warm water over the frozen area to melt the ice. Wipe away the water immediately to prevent it from freezing.


● To ensure proper operation of the climate control system fan, remove any snow that has accumulated on the air inlet vents in front of the windshield.


● Remove any ice that has accumulated on the vehicle chassis. ● Periodically check for and remove any excess ice or snow that may have accumulated in the wheel well or on the brakes.

■ When driving the vehicle


Accelerate the vehicle slowly and drive at a reduced speed suit- able to road conditions.


■ When parking the vehicle


Park the vehicle and move the shift lever to P without setting the parking brake. The parking brake may freeze up, preventing it from being released. If necessary, block the wheels to prevent inadvertent sliding or creeping. ■ Refueling (Flex-fuel vehicles)


Observe the following precautions when switching fuels, in order to maintain starting and driving performance. ● Do not change fuels when the fuel level is 1/4 or less. ● Always add at least 2.6 gal. (10 L) of fuel. ● After fulling up with fuel, warm up the engine or drive the vehi-


cle for at least 5 minutes or 7 miles (11 km).


● Do not accelerate rapidly immediately after refueling.


Selecting tire chains


Use the correct tire chain size when mounting the snow chains. Chain size is regulated for each tire size.


Side chain 0.2 in. (5 mm) in diameter Cross chain 0.25 in. (6.3 mm) in diameter

Regulations on the use of snow chains


● Regulations regarding the use of tire chains vary according to loca- tion and type of road. Always check local regulations before install- ing chains.


● Install the chains on the rear tires. ● Retighten the chains after driving 1/4 - 1/2 mile (0.5 - 1.0 km).


■Snow chain installation


Observe the following precautions when installing and removing chains. ●Install and remove tire chains in a safe location. ●Install tire chains on the rear tires only. Do not install tire chains on the


front tires.


●Install tire chains following the instructions provided in the accompanying


instructions.


CAUTION


■Driving with snow tires


Observe the following precautions to reduce the risk of accidents. Failing to do so may result in a loss of vehicle control and cause death or serious injury. ●Use tires of the size specified for your vehicle. ●Maintain the recommended level of air pressure. ●Do not drive in excess of 75 mph (120 km/h) regardless of the type of


snow tires being used.


●Snow tires should be installed on all wheels. ●Do not mix tires of different makes, models, tread patterns or treadwear.

2-5. Driving information Trailer towing


Your vehicle is designed primarily as a passenger-and-load-carrying vehicle. Towing a trailer can have an adverse impact on handling, performance, braking, durability, and fuel consumption. For your safety and the safety of others, you must not overload your vehicle or trailer. You must also ensure that you are using appropriate tow- ing equipment, that the towing equipment has been installed cor- rectly and used properly, and that you employ the requisite driving habits. Vehicle-trailer stability and braking performance are affected by trailer stability, brake performance and setting, trailer brakes, the hitch and hitch systems (if equipped). To tow a trailer safely, use extreme care and drive the vehicle in accordance with your trailer’s characteristics and operating condi- tions. 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 towing kits, etc.

Trailer Tongue Weight


● A recommended tongue weight varies in accordance with the types


of trailers or towing as described below.


● To ensure the recommended values shown below, the trailer must


be loaded by referring to the following instructions. • Tongue Weight


The gross trailer weight should be distributed so that the tongue weight is 9% to 11%. (Tongue weight /Gross trailer weight x 100
= 9% to 11%)


Gross trailer weight Tongue weight


If using a weight distributing hitch when towing, return the front axle to the same weight as before the trailer connection. If front axle weight cannot be measured directly, measure the front fender height above the front axle before connection. Adjust weight distributing hitch torque until front fender is returned to the same height as before connection. The gross trailer weight, gross axle weight and tongue weight can be measured with platform scales found at a highway weighing station, building supply company, trucking company, junk yard, etc.

Hitch


Trailer hitch assemblies have different weight capacities. Toyota rec- ommends the use of Toyota hitch/bracket for your vehicle. For details, contact your Toyota dealer. ● If you wish to install a trailer hitch, contact your Toyota dealer. ● Use only a hitch that conforms to the gross trailer weight require-


ment of your vehicle.


● Follow the directions supplied by the hitch manufacturer. ● Lubricate the hitch ball with a light coating 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.

Trailer towing tips


Your vehicle will handle differently when towing a trailer. Help to avoid an accident, death or serious injury, keep the following in mind when towing: ● Speed limits for towing a trailer vary by state or province. Do not


exceed the posted towing speed limit.


● Toyota recommends that the vehicle-trailer speed limit is 65 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 vehicle-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 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 the trailer jack- knifing and loss of vehicle control. This is especially true on wet or slippery surfaces.


291


2-5. Driving information


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


ing a turn.


● 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 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 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.


● To maintain engine braking efficiency and charging system perfor- mance when using engine braking, do not use the transmission in D. Transmission shift range position must be in 4 in the S mode.


● Instability happens more frequently when descending steep or long downhill grades. Before descending, slow down and downshift. Do not make sudden downshifts while descending steep or long down- hill 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, immediately turn off the air condition- ing (if in use), pull your vehicle off the road and stop in a safe spot. (P. 592)


292


2


2-5. Driving information


● 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 parking 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 vehicle’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. On vehicles with an automatic transmission, be sure to keep the brake pedal pressed. Shift into a forward gear. If reversing, shift into R. Release the parking brake and brake pedal, and slowly pull or back away from the wheel blocks. Stop and apply the brakes. Have someone retrieve the blocks.

■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. 609) ●Trailer tires are inflated according to the trailer manufacturer’s recom-


mendation.


●All trailer lights work as required by law. ●All lights work each time you connect 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 the 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 mirrors conform to all applicable federal, state/provincial or local regulations. If they do not, install rear view mirrors appropriate for towing purposes.


●Depress TOW/HAUL button (if equipped)


■AVS (adaptive variable suspension system) (if equipped)


The suspension can be switched for improvement in driveability. (P. 247)


294


2-5. Driving information


■Break-in schedule


If your vehicle is new or equipped with any new power train components (such as an engine, transmission, differential or wheel bearing), Toyota rec- ommends 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 vehicle 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 frequent maintenance due to the additional load. (See “Owner’s Warranty Information Booklet” or “Scheduled Maintenance Guide/Owner’s Manual Supplement”.)


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


mately 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 gradually 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 occupants 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 overloaded after occupants get in.


295


2-5. Driving information


If you cannot find any problems, the speed at which trailer swaying occurred is beyond the limit of your particular vehicle-trailer combination. Drive at a lower speed to prevent instability. Remember that swaying of the towing vehicle-trailer increases as speed increases.


CAUTION


■Trailer towing precautions


●To tow a trailer safely, use extreme care and drive the vehicle in accor- dance with the trailer’s characteristics and operating conditions. Failure to do so could cause an accident resulting in death or serious injury. Vehicle stability and braking performance are affected by trailer stability, brake set- ting and performance, and the hitch. Your vehicle will handle differently when towing a trailer.


●Vehicles with electronically modulated air suspension: Set the vehicle height to the LO mode and turn off the rear height control air suspension when you connect a trailer, otherwise the vehicle height may change due to the automatic leveling function, and you may catch part of your body in the vehicle, resulting in an accident.


■To avoid accident or injury


●Do not exceed the TWR, unbraked TWR, GCWR, GVWR or GAWR. ●If the gross trailer weight is over 2000 lb. (907 kg), a sway control device


with sufficient capacity is required.


●If the gross trailer weight is over 5000 lb. (2268 kg), a weight distributing


hitch with sufficient capacity is required.


●Adjust the tongue weight within the appropriate range. Place heavier loads


as close to the trailer axle as possible.


●Do not exceed 65 mph (104 km/h), the posted towing speed limit or the speed limit for your trailer as set forth in your trailer owner’s manual, whichever is lowest. Slow down sufficiently before making a turn, in cross- winds, on wet or slippery surface, etc. to help avoid an accident. If you experience a vehicle-trailer instability from reducing a certain speed, slow down and make sure you keep your vehicle speed under the speed of which you experience the instability.


●Do not make jerky, abrupt or sharp turns.


296


2


2-5. Driving information


CAUTION


■To avoid accident or injury


●Do not apply the brakes suddenly as you may skid, resulting in jackknifing and loss of vehicle control. This is especially true on wet or slippery sur- faces.


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


gross axle weight and trailer tongue weight capacities.


●Do not use cruise control when towing. ●Slow down and downshift before descending steep or long downhill grades. Do not make sudden downshifts while descending steep or long downhill grades.


●Vehicle-trailer instability is more likely on steep long downhills. Before descending steep or long downhill grades, slow down and downshift. Do not make sudden downshifts when 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.


●Do not tow a trailer when the temporary spare tire is installed on your vehi-


cle. ■Hitch


Trailer hitch assemblies have different weight capacities established 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.


■When towing a trailer


Toyota recommends trailers with brakes that conform to any applicable fed- eral and state/provincial regulations. ●If the gross trailer weight exceeds unbraked TWR, 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.


297


2-5. Driving information


CAUTION


■When towing a trailer


●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 danger of the trailer wandering into another lane.


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 directly splice trailer lights


Do not directly splice trailer lights. Directly splicing trailer lights may damage your vehicle’s electrical system and cause a malfunction.
