 Tire information

 Increase the tire inflation pressure to 20.0 kPa (0.2 kgf/cm

or bar, 3 psi)

greater than the recommended value when towing. (P. 574)

 Increase the air pressure of the trailer tires in accordance with the total

trailer weight and according to the values recommended by the manufac-

turer of your trailer.

 Trailer lights

Check that the turn signal lights and stoplights are operating correctly every

time you hitch up the trailer. Directly wiring up to your vehicle may damage

the electrical system and stop the lights from functioning correctly.

 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).

 Maintenance

 Maintenance must be performed more frequently when using the vehicle

for towing due to the greater weight burden placed on the vehicle com-

pared to normal driving.

 Retighten all bolts securing the hitching ball and bracket after towing for

approximately 1000 km (600 miles).

 Safety checks before towing

 Check that the maximum load limit for the towing hitch/bracket and 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 the total

load exerted on the vehicle is within the range of the weight limits.

(P. 255)

 Ensure that the trailer load is secure.

 Supplementary outside rear view mirrors 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.
