Safety chain
A safety chain must always be used between the towing vehicle and the
trailer. Leave sufficient slack in the chain for turns. The chain should cross
under the trailer tongue to prevent the tongue from dropping to the ground in
the case that it becomes damaged or separated. For the correct safety chain
installation procedure, ask your local authorized Toyota dealer or repairer, or
another duly qualified and equipped professional.

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 the fixing bolts of the towing ball and bracket after approxi-
mately 1000 km (600 miles).
