Toyota Auris (2018 year). Manual in english

4-1. Before driving

227

■ Information tag (manufacturer’s label)

Gross vehicle mass

Maximum permissible rear

axle capacity

■ Gross vehicle mass

The combined weight of the driver, passengers, luggage, towing

hitch, total curb mass and drawbar load should not exceed the

gross vehicle mass by more than 100 kg (220.5 lb.). Exceeding this

weight is dangerous.

■ Maximum permissible rear axle capacity

The weight borne by the rear axle should not exceed the maximum

permissible rear axle capacity by 15% or more. Exceeding this

weight is dangerous.

The values for towing capacity were derived from testing conducted

at sea level. Take note that engine output and towing capacity will

be reduced at high altitudes.

WARNING

■ When the gross vehicle mass or maximum permissible axle capacity is

exceeded

Failing to observe this precaution may lead to an accident causing death or

serious injury.

●Add an additional 20.0 kPa (0.2 kgf/cm² or bar, 3 psi) to the recommended

tire inflation pressure value. (P. 657)

●Do not exceed the established speed limit for towing a trailer in built-up

areas or 100 km/h (62 mph), whichever is lower.

4-1. Before driving

229

■ Tire information

●Increase the tire inflation pressure to 20.0 kPa (0.2 kgf/cm² or bar, 3 psi)

greater than the recommended value when towing. (P. 657)

● Increase the air pressure of the trailer tires in accordance with the total

trailer weight and according to the values recommended by the manufac-

turer of your trailer.

■ Trailer lights

Please consult at any authorized dealer or repairer, or another duly qualified

and equipped professional when installing trailer lights, as incorrect installa-

tion 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

Toyota 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 coupling 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. 226)

● Ensure that the trailer load is secure.

●Supplementary outside rear view mirrors should be added to the vehicle if

the traffic behind cannot be clearly seen with standard mirrors. Adjust the

extending arms of these mirrors on both sides of the vehicle so that they

always provide maximum 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

normal driving.

● Retighten all bolts securing the hitching ball and bracket after towing for

approximately 1000 km (600 miles).

4-1. Before driving

231

Guidance

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 operation 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

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

● When reversing with a coupled trailer, hold the section of the

steering 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 someone guide you

when reversing to lessen the risk of an accident.

■ Increasing vehicle-to-vehicle distance

At a speed of 10 km/h (6 mph), the distance to the vehicle running

ahead of you should be equivalent to or greater than the combined

length of your vehicle 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.

232

4-1. Before driving

■ Important points regarding stability

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 mov-

ing alongside such vehicles. As soon as such vehicle movement

occurs, immediately start to decelerate smoothly by slowly applying

the brakes. Always steer the vehicle 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 sufficient before exe-

cuting lane changes.

■ Transmission information

 Multidrive

To maintain engine braking efficiency and charging system perfor-

mance when using engine braking, do not use the transmission in

D, must be in M and select gear step 4 or lower. (P. 251)

 Manual transmission

Refrain from driving in 6th gear to maintain the effectiveness of

engine braking and to maintain charging system performance.

■ If the engine overheats

Towing a loaded trailer up a long, steep incline in temperatures

exceeding 30C (85F) may result in the engine overheating. If the

engine coolant temperature gauge indicates that the engine is over-

heating, turn the air conditioning off immediately, leave the road and

stop the vehicle in a safe place. (P. 629)

■ When parking the vehicle

Always place wheel chocks under the wheels of both the vehicle

and trailer. Firmly set the parking brake and shift the shift lever to P

(Multidrive) and 1 or R (manual transmission).

4-1. Before driving

233

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. 226)

■ Vehicle speed in towing

Observe the legal maximum speeds for trailer towing.

■ Before descending hills or long declines

Reduce speed and downshift. However, never downshift suddenly while

descending steep or long downhill grades.

■ Operation of the brake pedal

Do not hold the brake pedal depressed often or for long periods of time.

Doing so may result in the brake overheating or reduce braking effects.

■ To avoid accident or injury

● Vehicles with a cruise control: Do not use cruise control when you are tow-

ing.

● Vehicles with a compact spare tire: Do not tow a trailer when the compact

spare tire is installed on your vehicle.

● Vehicles with an emergency tire puncture repair kit: Do not tow the vehicle

when the tire installed is repaired with the emergency tire puncture repair

kit.

NOTICE

■ Do not directly splice trailer lights

Directly splicing trailer lights may damage your vehicle’s electrical system

and cause a malfunction.

body to come close to an open fuel tank.

●Do not inhale vaporized fuel.

Fuel contains substances that are harmful if inhaled.

●Do not smoke while refueling the vehicle.

Doing so may cause the fuel to ignite and cause a fire.

●Do not return to the vehicle or touch any person or object that is statically

charged.

This may cause static electricity to build up, resulting in a possible ignition

hazard.

■ When refueling

Observe the following precautions to prevent fuel overflowing from the fuel

tank:

●Securely insert the fuel nozzle into the fuel filler neck.

● Stop filling the tank after the fuel nozzle automatically clicks off.

●Do not top off the fuel tank.

NOTICE

ing from the bottom of the front sensor)

B: Approximately

20 cm

(7.9 in.)

(Approximately 10 cm (4.0 in.) to the

right and left from the center of the front

sensor)

●If there is a large difference in temperature between the inside and outside

of the vehicle, such as in winter, the windshield is likely to fog up easily. If

the part of the windshield in front of the front sensor is fogged up or cov-

ered with condensation or ice, the PCS warning light may illuminate and

the system may be temporarily disabled. In this case, use the windshield

defogger to remove the fog, etc. (P. 432, 439)

●If the area of the windshield in front of the front sensor is covered with

water droplets, use the windshield wipers to remove them.

If the water droplets are not sufficiently removed, the performance of the

front sensor may be reduced.

may be hot due to the heater running. If the glass is touched, it may result in

burns.

4-5. Toyota Safety Sense

283

PCS (Pre-Crash Safety system)^

The pre-crash safety system uses the front sensor to detect

vehicles in front of your vehicle. When the system determines

that the possibility of a frontal collision with a vehicle is high, a

warning operates to urge the driver to take evasive action and

the potential brake pressure is increased to help the driver avoid

the collision. If the system determines that the possibility of a

frontal collision with a vehicle is extremely high, the brakes are

automatically applied to help avoid the collision or help reduce

the impact of the collision.

The pre-crash safety system can be disabled/enabled and the warn-

ing timing can be changed. (P. 286)

◆ Pre-crash warning

When the system determines

that the possibility of a frontal

collision is high, a buzzer will

sound and a warning message

will be displayed on the multi-

information display to urge the

driver to take evasive action.

◆ Pre-crash brake assist

When the system determines that the possibility of a frontal colli-

sion with a vehicle is high, the system applies greater braking force

in relation to how strongly the brake pedal is depressed.

◆ Pre-crash braking

When the system determines that the possibility of a frontal colli-

sion with a vehicle is high, the system warns the driver. If the sys-

tem determines that the possibility of a collision is extremely high,

the brakes are automatically applied to help avoid the collision or

reduce the collision speed.

: If equipped

WARNING

■ Limitations of the pre-crash safety system

●The driver is solely responsible for safe driving. Always drive safely, taking

care to observe your surroundings.

Do not use the pre-crash safety system instead of normal braking opera-

tions under any circumstances. This system will not prevent collisions or

lessen collision damage or injury in every situation. Do not overly rely on

this system. Failure to do so may lead to an accident, resulting in death or

serious injury.

●Although this system is designed to help avoid and reduce the impact of a

collision, its effectiveness may change according to various conditions,

therefore the system may not always be able to achieve the same level of

performance.

Read the following conditions carefully. Do not overly rely on this system

and always drive carefully.

• Conditions under which the system may operate even if there is no pos-

sibility of a collision: P. 288

• Conditions under which the system may not operate properly: P. 292

●Do not attempt to test the operation of the pre-crash safety system your-

self, as the system may not operate properly, possibly leading to an acci-

dent.

■ Pre-crash braking

●The pre-crash braking function may not operate if certain operations are

performed by the driver. If the accelerator pedal is being depressed

strongly or the steering wheel is being turned, the system may determine

that the driver is taking evasive action and possibly prevent the pre-crash

braking function from operating.

● In some situations, while the pre-crash braking function is operating, oper-

ation of the function may be canceled if the accelerator pedal is depressed

strongly or the steering wheel is turned and the system determines that

the driver is taking evasive action.

● A large amount of braking force is applied while the pre-crash braking

function is operating. Additionally, as the operation of the pre-crash brak-

ing function will be canceled after the vehicle has been stopped for

approximately 2 seconds if it is stopped by the operation of the pre-crash

braking function, the driver should depress the brake pedal as necessary.

●If the brake pedal is being depressed, the system may determine that the

driver is taking evasive action and possibly delay the operation timing of

the pre-crash braking function.

4-5. Toyota Safety Sense

285

WARNING

●While driving, such as when driving through a railway crossing, the system

may determine that the possibility of a collision with an object, such as rail-

way crossing barrier, is high and operate the pre-crash braking function.

To move the vehicle in an emergency, such as if the system operates in a

railway crossing, perform the following operations and then take the nec-

essary measures to ensure your safety.

• If the vehicle has been stopped, depress the accelerator pedal.

• If the vehicle is decelerating, fully depress the accelerator pedal.

(P. 287)

• Disable the pre-crash safety system. (P. 286)

■ When to disable the pre-crash safety system

In the following situations, disable the system, as it may not operate prop-

erly, possibly leading to an accident resulting in death or serious injury:

●When the vehicle is being towed

●When your vehicle is towing another vehicle

● When transporting the vehicle via truck, boat, train or similar means of

transportation

●When the vehicle is raised on a lift with the engine running and the tires

are allowed to rotate freely

● When inspecting the vehicle using a drum tester such as a chassis dyna-

mometer or speedometer tester, or when using an on vehicle wheel bal-

ancer

●If the vehicle cannot be driven in a stable manner, such as when the vehi-

cle has been in an accident or is malfunctioning

● When the vehicle is driven in a sporty manner or off-road

●When the condition of the tires is poor and they do not perform well

(P. 509, 528)

● When tires of a size other than specified are installed

●When tire chains are installed

● When a compact spare tire or an emergency tire puncture repair kit is used
