When driving
Before towing
Check that the following conditions are met:
Ensure that your vehicle’s tires are properly inflated. (P. 351)
Trailer tires should be inflated according to the trailer manufacturer’s rec-
ommendation.
All trailer lights work as required by law.
All lights work each time you connect them.
The trailer ball is set at the proper height for the coupler on the trailer.
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.
The trailer cargo is securely loaded.
The rear view mirrors conform to any federal, state/provincial or local
regulations. If they do not, install rear view mirrors appropriate for towing
purposes.
Break-in schedule
If your vehicle is new or equipped with any new power train components
(such as an engine, transmission, differential and wheel bearing), Toyota
recommends that you do not tow a trailer until it has been driven for over 500
miles (800 km).
However, avoid full throttle acceleration.
Maintenance
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”.)
Retighten the fixing bolts of the towing ball and bracket after approxi-
mately 600 miles (1000 km) of trailer towing.
