Vehicle load limits
NOTICE
Vehicle load limits include total load
capacity, seating capacity, towing ca-
pacity and cargo capacity. Follow the
load limits shown below. Total load ca-
pacity and seating capacity are also
described on the tire and loading in-
formation label. For location of the tire
and loading information label, see
“Checking tire inflation pressure” on
page 405.
When stowing cargo and luggage in
the vehicle, observe the following:
Even if the number of occupants
are within the seating capacity,
do not exceed the total load ca-
pacity.
ꢀ Put cargo and luggage in the lug-
gage compartment when at all
possible. Be sure all items are se-
cured in place.
Towing capacity
ꢀ Be careful to keep the vehicle bal-
anced. Locating the weight as far
forward as possible helps maintain
balance.
Toyota does not recommend towing
a trailer with your vehicle. Your ve-
hicle is not designed for trailer towing.
Total load capacity:

carry unneeded weight.
CAUTION
Seating capacity:
Total 5 (Front 2, Rear 3)
ꢀ To prevent cargo and luggage
from sliding forward during
braking, do not stack anything
in the luggage compartment.
Keep cargo and luggage low,
as close to the floor as pos-
sible.
Seating capacity means the maximum
number of occupants whose esti-
mated average weight is 68 kg (150
lb.) per person. Depending on the
weight of each person, the seating ca-
pacity given may exceed the total
load capacity.
CAUTION
Do not apply the load more than
each load limit. That may cause
not only damage to the tires, but
also deterioration to the steering
ability and braking ability, which
may cause an accident.
