Dinghy towing
Trailer towing
Do not use your parking brake when
there is a possibility it could freeze.
When parking, put the selector lever into
“P” and block the rear wheels. Do not use
the parking brake, or snow or water accu-
mulated in and around the parking brake
mechanism may freeze, making it hard to
release.

Keep ice and snow from accumulating
under the fenders.
Ice and snow built up under your fenders
can make steering difficult. During bad
winter driving, stop and check under the
fenders occasionally.
Your vehicle is not designed to be
dinghy towed (with four wheels on the
ground) behind a motorhome.
Toyota does not recommend towing a
trailer with your Toyota. It is not de-
signed for trailer towing.
Depending on where you are driving,
we recommend you carry some emer-
gency equipment.
NOTICE
Some of the things you might put in the
vehicle are tire chains, window scraper,
bag of sand or salt, flares, small shovel,
jumper cables, etc.
Do not tow your vehicle with four
wheels on the ground.
This may
cause serious damage to your ve-
hicle.
