MATCHING TRAILER BALL HEIGHT TO
TRAILER COUPLER HEIGHT
No matter which class of tow hitch ap-
plies, for a safe trailer hookup, the trailer
ball setup on must be the proper height
for the coupler on the trailer.
BRAKES AND SAFETY CHAINS
!
Toyota
recommends
trailers
with
brakes that conform to any applica-
ble federal and state/provincial regu-
lations.
!
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 case it becomes dam-
aged or separated. For correct safety
chain procedures, follow the hitch or
trailer manufacturer’s recommenda-
tions.
CAUTION
!
If the total trailer weight exceeds
453 kg (1000 lb.), trailer brakes are
required.
!
Never tap into your vehicle’s hy-
draulic system as it would lower its
braking effectiveness.
!
Never tow a trailer without using a
safety chain securely attached to
both the trailer and the vehicle. If
damage occurs to the coupling unit
or hitch ball, there is danger of the
trailer wandering over into another
lane.

SERVICE CONNECTOR FOR TOWING
BRAKE CONTROLLER
Your vehicle is equipped with a service
connector for the trailer brake controller
as shown. Link the connector to the trailer
brake controller via the sub wire harness
stored in the glove box. The detailed ex-
planation of the sub wire harness circuit
is packed together with the sub wire har-
ness.
Be sure to position the trailer brake con-
troller where it does not prevent the driver
from operating the pedal.
Toyota recommends that the sub wire har-
ness be stored in the glove box when it
is not in use.
