Toyota LAND CRUISER PRADO Owner's Manual page 286

■ Tire information
Increase the air pressure of the trailer tires in accordance with the total trailer
weight and according to the values recommended by the manufacturer 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).
Safety checks before towing
■
● Check that the maximum load limit for the towing hitch/bracket 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. 279)
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.
● The trailer ball is set up at the proper height for the coupler on the trailer.
When using a weight carrying hitch
■
When using the weight carrying hitch, an amount up to the total trailer weight
can be towed by reducing the number of passengers. (Only on models listed
below)
Refer to the table below for the passenger numbers of each model.
