4-1. Before driving

Check the allowable towing capacity,
GVM (Gross Vehicle Mass), MPAC
(Maximum Permissible Axle Capac-
ity), and permissible drawbar load
before towing. (



P.464)

Lexus recommends the use of the
Lexus hitch/bracket for your vehicle.
Other products of a suitable nature
and comparable quality may also be
used.
For vehicles where the towing device
blocks any of the lights or license plate,
the following shall be observed:



Do not use towing devices that can-
not be easily removed or reposi-
tioned.



Towing devices must be removed
or repositioned when not in use.

Please consult any authorized Lexus
retailer or Lexus authorized repairer,
or any reliable repairer when installing
trailer lights, as incorrect installation
may cause damage to the vehicle’s
lights. Please take care to comply with
your state’s laws when installing trailer
lights.

Trailer towing (vehicles with
towing package)

Your vehicle is designed primarily
as a passenger carrying vehicle.
Towing a trailer will have an
adverse effect on handling, perfor-
mance, braking, durability, and fuel
consumption. Your safety and satis-
faction depend on the proper use of
correct equipment and cautious
driving habits. For your safety and
the safety of others, do not overload
the vehicle or trailer.

To tow a trailer safely, use extreme
care and drive the vehicle in accor-
dance with the trailer’s characteris-
tics and operating conditions.
Lexus warranties do not apply to
damage or malfunction caused by
towing a trailer for commercial pur-
poses.

Ask your local authorized Lexus
retailer or Lexus authorized
repairer, or any reliable repairer
for further details before towing, as
there are additional legal require-
ments in some countries.

greater than the recommended value

when towing. (



P.471)

Increase the air pressure of the trailer

tires in accordance with the total trailer

weight and according to the values rec-

ommended by the manufacturer of your

trailer.

Trailer lights

Please consult at any authorized Lexus

retailer or Lexus authorized repairer, or any

reliable repairer when installing trailer

lights, as incorrect installation may cause

damage to the vehicle’s lights. Please take

care to comply with your state’s laws when

installing trailer lights.

Break-in schedule

Lexus recommends that vehicles fitted with

new power train components should not be

used for towing trailers for the first 800 km

(500 miles).

Safety checks before towing

Check that the maximum load limit for

the towing hitch/bracket and hitch ball is

not exceeded. Bear in mind that the cou-

pling weight of the trailer will add to the

load exerted on the vehicle. Also make

sure that the total load exerted on the

vehicle is within the range of the weight

limits. (



P.180)

Ensure that the trailer load is secure.

Supplementary outside rear view mir-

rors should be added to the vehicle if the

traffic behind cannot be clearly seen with

standard mirrors. Adjust the extending

182

4-1. Before driving

arms of these mirrors on both sides of the

vehicle so that they always provide maxi-

mum visibility of the road behind.

Maintenance

Maintenance must be performed more

frequently when using the vehicle for

towing due to the greater weight burden

placed on the vehicle compared to nor-

mal driving.

Retighten all bolts securing the hitching

ball and bracket after towing for approxi-

mately 1000 km (600 miles).

Your vehicle will handle differently
when towing a trailer. In order to avoid
accident, death or serious injury, keep
the following in mind when towing:

Checking connections between
trailer and lights

Stop the vehicle and check the opera-
tion of the connection between the
trailer and lights after driving for a brief
period as well as before starting off.

Practicing driving with a coupled
trailer



Get the feel for turning, stopping
and reversing with the trailer cou-

pled by practicing in an area with no
or light traffic.



When reversing with a coupled
trailer, hold the section of the steer-
ing wheel nearest to you and rotate
clockwise to turn the trailer left or
counterclockwise to turn it right.
Always rotate a little at a time to
prevent steering error. Have some-
one guide you when reversing to
lessen the risk of an accident.

Increasing vehicle-to-vehicle dis-
tance

At a speed of 10 km/h (6 mph), the dis-
tance to the vehicle running ahead of
you should be equivalent to or greater
than the combined length of your vehi-
cle and trailer. Avoid sudden braking
that may cause skidding. Otherwise,
the vehicle may spin out of control. This
is especially true when driving on wet
or slippery road surfaces.

Sudden acceleration/steering
input/cornering

Executing sharp turns when towing
may result in the trailer colliding with
your vehicle. Decelerate well in
advance when approaching turns and
take them slowly and carefully to avoid
sudden braking.

Important points regarding turning

The wheels of the trailer will travel
closer to the inside of the curve than
the wheels of the vehicle. To make
allowance for this, take the turns wider
than you would normally do.

NOTICE

When the rear bumper strengthen-

ing material is aluminum

Ensure the steel bracket part does not

come directly in contact with that area.

When steel and aluminum come into

contact, there is a reaction similar to cor-

rosion, which will weaken the section

concerned and may result in damage.

Apply a rust inhibitor to parts that will

come in contact when attaching a steel

bracket.

g

Important points regarding stabil-
ity

Vehicle movement resulting from
uneven road surfaces and strong
crosswinds will affect handling. The
vehicle may also be rocked by passing
buses or large trucks. Frequently
check behind when moving alongside
such vehicles. As soon as such vehicle
movement occurs, immediately start to
decelerate smoothly by slowly apply-
ing the brakes. Always steer the vehi-
cle straight ahead while braking.

Passing other vehicles

Consider the total combined length of
your vehicle and trailer and ensure that
the vehicle-to-vehicle distance is suffi-
cient before executing lane changes.

Hybrid transmission information

To maintain engine braking efficiency
and charging system performance
when using engine braking, do not use
the hybrid transmission in D. (



P.190)

If the engine overheats

Towing a loaded trailer up a long,
steep incline in temperatures exceed-
ing 30°C (85°F) may result in the
engine overheating. If the engine cool-
ant temperature gauge indicates that
the engine is overheating, turn the air
conditioning off immediately, leave the
road and stop the vehicle in a safe
place. (



P.458)

When parking the vehicle

Always place wheel chocks under the
wheels of both the vehicle and trailer.

Set the parking brake and shift the shift
lever to P.

WARNING

Follow all the instructions described in

this section.

Failure to do so could cause an accident

resulting in death or serious injury.

Trailer towing precautions

When towing, make sure that none of the

weight limits are exceeded. (



P.179)

To avoid accident or injury

Vehicles with compact spare tire:

Do not tow a trailer when the compact

spare tire is installed on your vehicle.

Vehicles with emergency tire punc-

ture repair kit:

Do not tow a trailer when the tire

installed is repaired with the emer-

gency tire puncture repair kit.

Do not use the following systems when

trailer towing.

• Cruise control (if equipped)
• Dynamic radar cruise control with full-

speed range (if equipped)
