Safety information Types of collisions that may not deploy the SRS airbag (side airbags and curtain shield airbags) The SRS side airbag and curtain shield airbag system may not activate if the vehicle is subjected to a collision from the side at certain angles, or a colli- sion to the side of the vehicle body other than the passenger compartment.
Page 106
1-7. Safety information When to contact your Toyota dealer In the following cases, contact your Toyota dealer as soon as possible. Any of the SRS airbags have been inflated. The front of the vehicle is damaged or deformed, or was involved in an acci- dent that was not severe enough to cause the SRS airbags to inflate.
Page 107
1-7. Safety information CAUTION SRS airbag precautions Observe the following precautions regarding the airbags. Failure to do so may cause death or serious injury. The driver and all passengers in the vehicle must wear their seat belts properly. The SRS airbags are supplemental devices to be used with the seat belts. The SRS driver airbag deploys with considerable force, and can cause death or serious injury especially if the driver is very close to the airbag.

Page 218
Total trailer weight Tongue load Towing a trailer Consult your Toyota dealer for further information about additional requirements such as a towing kits, etc. Hitch and tow hitch receiver Hitch Trailer hitch assemblies have different weight capacities estab- lished by the hitch manufacturer.
Page 219
2-5. Driving information Selecting trailer ball Use the correct trailer ball for your application. Trailer ball load rating Matches or exceeds the gross trailer weight rating of the trailer. Ball diameter Matches the size of the trailer coupler. Most couplers stamped with the required trailer ball size.
Page 220
Break-in schedule Toyota recommends that you do not use a new vehicle or a vehicle with any new power train components (engine, transmission, differential, wheel bear- ings, etc.) to tow a trailer for the first 500 miles (800 km) of driving.
Page 221
The tow hitch receiver installed on your vehicle must never be used on another vehicle. Hitches If you wish to install a trailer hitch, your Toyota dealer should be consulted. Use only a hitch that conforms to the total trailer weight requirement. Follow the directions supplied by the hitch manufacturer.
Page 222
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. Brakes Toyota recommends trailers with brakes that conform to any applicable fed- eral and state/provincial regulations.

2-5. Driving information 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: l Before starting out, check the trailer’s light and the vehicle-trailer connections.
Page 224
2-5. Driving information l 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. l Crosswinds and rough roads will adversely affect handling of your vehicle and trailer, causing sway.
Page 225
2-5. Driving information l 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 (automatic transmission) or in 1 or R (manual transmission). Avoid parking on a slope, but if unavoidable, do so only after performing the following: Apply the brakes and keep them applied.
Page 226
2-5. Driving information CAUTION To avoid an accident Do not exceed 45 mph (72 km/h) or posted towing speed limit, whichever is lower. As instability (swaying) of the towing vehicle-trailer combination increases as speed increases, exceeding 45 mph (72 km/h) may cause loss of control.
