If your vehicle needs to be towed

If towing is necessary, we recommend having your vehicle towed by

any authorized Toyota dealer or repairer, or another duly qualified

and equipped professional or a commercial towing service, using a

lift-type truck or a flat bed truck.

Use a safety chain system for all towing, and abide by all state/pro-

vincial and local laws.

If towing from the rear, the vehicle's front wheels and axles must be

in good condition. (→P. 391)

If they are damaged, use a towing dolly or flat bed truck.

Before towing

The following may indicate a problem with your transmission. Contact

any authorized Toyota dealer or repairer, or another duly qualified

and equipped professional before towing.

● The engine is running, but the vehicle will not move.

● The vehicle makes an abnormal sound.

Emergency towing

5

If a tow truck is not available in an emergency, your vehicle may be

temporarily towed using a cable or chain secured to the emergency

towing eyelet. This should only be attempted on hard surfaced roads

for short distances at low speeds.

A driver must be in the vehicle to steer and operate the brakes. The

vehicle’s wheels, drive train, axles, steering and brakes must be in

good condition.

For vehicles with an automatic transmission, only the front towing

eyelet may be used.

Towing eyelet

■ Before emergency towing

STEP

1

Release the parking brake.

STEP

2

Shift the shift lever to N.

STEP

3

Vehicles without a smart entry & start system: Turn the engine

switch to the “ACC” (engine off) or “ON” (engine running) position.

Vehicles with a smart entry & start system: Turn the “ENGINE

START STOP” switch to ACCESSORY (engine off) or IGNITION

ON (engine running) mode.

■ If towing a vehicle

Do not tow another vehicle. If towing a vehicle that has broken down is

unavoidable, avoid towing a vehicle that is heavier than your vehicle. Also,

do not pull out a vehicle that has fallen into a ditch.

WARNING

■ Caution while towing

●Use extreme caution when towing the vehicle.

Avoid sudden starts or erratic driving maneuvers which place excessive

stress on the emergency towing eyelets and the cables or chains. Always

be cautious of the surroundings and other vehicles while towing.

● If the engine is not running, the power assist for the brakes and steering

will not function, making steering and braking more difficult.

5-1. Essential information

NOTICE

■ To prevent causing serious damage to the transmission in emergency

towing (vehicles with an automatic transmission)

Never tow a vehicle from the rear with four wheels on the ground. This may

cause serious damage to the transmission.

■ To prevent damage to the vehicle

●When towing this vehicle, make sure to observe the following:

• Do not use a wire rope

• Keep vehicle speed below 30 km/h (20 mph) and do not tow for dis-

tances over 30 km (19 miles)

• Tow the vehicle in the forward direction

• Do not apply rope to the vehicle's suspension and so forth

●Do not tow another vehicle, boat (trailer) and so forth, that is heavier than

this vehicle.

■ When towing down a long slope

Use a wheel lift-type or flat bed truck. (→P. 391, 392)

If a wheel lift-type or flat bed truck is not used, the brakes may overheat,

leading to poor brake performance.
