The HomeLink® System (1) learns the codes for up to three remote-controlled devices through a simple training process. HomeLink can then activate those devices at the push of a button -- all from one unit permanently mounted in the vehicle's sun visor, overhead console or mirror. There's no transmitter clutter in the vehicle, no batteries to change or individual transmitters to misplace. HomeLink is rolling-code compatible, is powered by the vehicle's charging system, can be reprogrammed at any time and can activate home lighting with the available HomeLink Lighting Package.

Trailer Tongue Weight is the amount of weight pressing down on the tow vehicle hitch. To measure trailer tongue weight, place the tongue of the trailer on a scale when the trailer is not attached to the vehicle. Too much tongue weight can press the tow vehicle down in back, causing the front wheels to lift to the point where traction, steering response and braking are severely decreased. Suspension or drivetrain damage can result. Too little tongue weight can reduce rear-wheel traction and cause instability, swaying or jackknifing. For bumper-pull and receiver-style hitches, to insure proper handling, keep the trailer tongue load between 10%–15% of the actual trailer weight, within the limits of the maximum trailer tongue weight allowable. For example, for a 2,500-pound trailer, multiply the weight of 2,500 pounds by 10% to arrive at a figure of 250 pounds If using a 5th-wheel or gooseneck trailer, tongue weight should be approximately 20–25% of trailer weight.

A system used in all Toyota vehicles to monitor a variety of factors, including engine speed, engine temperature, air temperature and engine load. This information is sent to a sophisticated computer, which then coordinates adjustments to the fuel injection and ignition system. This technology can optimise engine operation for emissions, performance and efficiency under varying driving conditions.

This system eliminates all moving parts within the ignition system (including the distributor cap and rotor) by placing a compact ignition coil linked directly to each of the spark plugs (or on V6, one coil for pair), which minimises misfiring and loss of engine power; in addition, this system may eliminate the need for spark plug wires. The result is improved performance, greater durability, reliability and reduced maintenance.
