Me too just this minute!! This is shit I would consider that these vehicles dangerous because the items that you have to disable can be detrimental to towing as you may forget to do it the lane keeper and cross lane assist can and will cause trailers to sway etc it’s happened to me
Hello this is not good enough i,m raising a case directly with Toyota I have an email telling me the same and will not be fobed off, this sort of this ie disableing certain stuff when a trailer is attached is basic stuff i,m not standing for it , this is a premium vehicle
Hello KevD And all These are the 9 YES 9 !!!!! things you must disable manually when Towing a Trailer TAKEN FROM THE MANUAL -----
That’s ridiculous Dave. If the car can’t do it automatically why can’t they at least have one single trailer setting in the car settings screen that does it all for you?
Yes Mate send me your email ill send you the email i have sent to Toyota UK and you can put it on here because I dont know how to
The Aussie models seem to have extra towing kit - just saw a Ronny Dahl vid and he pointed to Tow Haul button - seems the UK model has some of the towing stuff deleted
Hello FT it could all be down to the Tow haul button ???? what is Toyota doing ?? so much guessing i,m really fed up of it now
I think that they have shot themselves in the foot with both hybrid designs, both 5 and 7 seat versions. Having the spare on the rear would have avoided that, but the design of the rear hatch is wrong for that now.
Yes and in a vehicle thats widely used for towing well done Toyota !! and look they get a Tow bar as well thats behind the cover great we pay the most and get the least again and again and again.
It lifts the idle rpm on the engine , it allows the engine to warm up more quickly in cold conditions as soon as the engine reaches temperature it will disable. (Or it did on the 150 series! )
Similar outcome ,a choke changed the fuel mixture, less air more petrol. This is like having your foot on the throttle very slightly all the time. It’s a Toyota thing, every one. I have had has it ,under confusingly different names ! It really helps when you are running everything when its frozen so AC ,lights as it keeps maximum power running through the electrical system. It will only be enabled when the outside temp is low.
It increases the revs a bit maybe to give more power for an electric winch or to give more poweer to the 3 pin plug outlet I think ?? ask Toyota ( But they wont know )
