2025 Toyota Fortuner Owner’s Manual (Excerpt)

TRC vs. A-TRAC: The manual explains when to turn off Traction Control (TRC) to allow wheel spin in sand, and when to enable Active Traction Control (A-TRAC) for rock crawling.
Deep Water Fording: The manual provides the maximum wading depth (usually 700mm or 27 inches). It also explains that after fording, you must drive slowly and apply the brakes gently to dry them out. Failure to read this results in warped brake rotors.
Jacking Points: If you get a flat tire on a trail, do not jack the vehicle by the differential. The manual has a diagram showing the reinforced pinch welds on the side sills and the specific rear axle tube location.
