CAUTION
!
Use extreme caution when towing a
vehicle. Avoid sudden starts or er-
ratic
driving maneuvers which
would place excessive stress on the
emergency towing eyelets and tow-
ing cable or chain. The eyelets and
towing cable or chain may break
and cause serious injury or dam-
age.
! When installing the eyelet on the
vehicle, be sure to tighten the eye-
let securely. If the tightening is
loose, it may come off when being
towed and result in death or seri-
ous injury.
NOTICE
!
Use only a cable or chain specifi-
cally intended for use in towing ve-
hicles. Securely fasten the cable or
chain to the towing eyelets pro-
vided.
!
Do not use the left rear eyelet. It is
not designed for towing.
Before towing, release the parking brake
and put the transmission in neutral. The
key must be in “ACC” (engine off) or “ON”
(engine running).
CAUTION
If the engine is not running, the pow-
er assist for the brakes and steering
will not work so steering and braking
will be much harder than usual.
If you lose your keys
You can purchase a new key at your
Toyota dealer if you can give them the
key number and master key.
Even if you lose only one key, contact
your Toyota dealer to make a new key. If
you lose all your master keys, you cannot
make new keys; the whole engine immobi-
liser system must be replaced.
See the suggestion given in “Keys” on
page 8 in Section 1- 2.
If your keys are locked in the vehicle and
you cannot get a duplicate, many Toyota
dealers can still open the door for you,
using their special tools. If you must
break a window to get in, we suggest
breaking the side window because it is
the least expensive to replace. Be ex-
tremely cautious to avoid cuts from the
glass.
