Before driving CAUTION Things that must not be carried in the luggage compartment ■ The following things may cause a fire if loaded in the luggage compart- ment: Receptacles containing gasoline ● Aerosol cans ● Storage precautions ■ Observe the following precautions. Failure to do so may prevent the pedals from being depressed properly, may block the driver’s vision, or may result in items hitting the driver or passengers, possibly causing an accident.

Even if the total load of occupant’s weight and the cargo load is less ● than the total load capacity, do not apply the load unevenly. Improper loading may cause deterioration of steering or braking control which may cause death or serious injury.

Page 174 To tow a trailer safely, use extreme care and drive the vehicle in accordance with your trailer’s characteristics and operating conditions. 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.
Page 175 4-1. Before driving Towing related terms GCWR (Gross Combination Weight Rating) ■ The maximum allowable gross combination weight. The gross combination weight is the sum of the total vehicle weight (including the occupants, cargo and any optional equipment installed on the vehicle) and the weight of the trailer being towed (including the cargo in the trailer).

Page 181 ● 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.
Page 182 4-1. Before driving ● 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 a loss of vehicle control.
Page 183 4-1. Before driving ● Due to the added load of the trailer, your vehicle’s engine may over- heat 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 conditioning (if in use), pull your vehicle off the road and stop in a safe spot.

Page 231 4-4. Refueling CAUTION When refueling the vehicle ■ Observe the following precautions while refueling the vehicle. Failure to do so may result in death or serious injury. After exiting the vehicle and before opening the fuel door, touch an ● unpainted metal surface to discharge any static electricity.
Page 232 4-4. Refueling NOTICE Refueling ■ Do not spill fuel during refueling. Doing so may damage the vehicle, such as causing the emission control system to operate abnormally or damaging fuel system components or the vehicle’s painted surface. Opening the fuel tank cap Pull up the opener to open the fuel filler door.
Page 233 CAUTION When replacing the fuel tank cap ■ Do not use anything but a genuine Toyota fuel tank cap designed for your vehicle. Doing so may cause a fire or other incident which may result in death or serious injury.

Page 554 6-3. Do-it-yourself maintenance Instructions for checking tire inflation pressure ■ When checking tire inflation pressure, observe the following: Check only when the tires are cold. ● If your vehicle has been parked for at least 3 hours or has not been driven for more than 1 mile or 1.5 km, you will get an accurate cold tire inflation pressure reading.
Page 555 ● Used wheels ● Bent wheels that have been straightened Aluminum wheel precautions ● Use only Toyota wheel nuts and wrenches designed for use with your aluminum wheels. ● When rotating, repairing or changing your tires, check that the wheel nuts are still tight after driving 1000 miles (1600 km).
Page 556 6-3. Do-it-yourself maintenance When replacing wheels (vehicles with the tire pressure warning sys- ■ tem) The wheels of your vehicle are equipped with tire pressure warning valves and transmitters that allow the tire pressure warning system to provide advance warning in the event of a loss in tire inflation pressure. Whenever wheels are replaced, tire pressure warning valves and trans- mitters must be installed.
