Before towing
Check that the following conditions are met:
l
The vehicle’s tires are properly inflated.
l
Trailer tires are inflated according to the trailer manufacturer’s recom-
mendation.
l
All trailer lights work.
l
All lights work each time you connect them.
l
The trailer ball is set up at the proper height for the coupler on the trailer.
l
The vehicle remains level when a loaded or unloaded trailer is hitched.
Do not drive if the vehicle is not level, and check for improper tongue
load, overloading, worn suspension, or other possible causes.
l
The trailer cargo is securely loaded.
l
The rear view mirrors conform to all applicable federal, state/provincial or
local regulations. If they do not, install rear view mirrors appropriate for
towing purposes.
n
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.
n
Maintenance
l
If you tow a trailer, your vehicle will require more frequent maintenance
due to the additional load. (See “Scheduled Maintenance Guide” or
“Owner’s Manual Supplement”.)
l
Retighten the fixing bolts of the towing ball after approximately 600 miles
(1000 km) of trailer towing.
