7-2.Steps to take in an emergency If your vehicle needs
to be towed
If towing is necessary, we
recommend having your
vehicle towed by your
Toyota dealer or commer-
cial towing service, using a
wheel-lift type truck or flat-
bed truck.
Use a safety chain system
for all towing, and abide by
all state/provincial and local
laws.
If towing your vehicle with a
wheel-lift type truck, use a
towing dolly. (

WARNING
Observe the following precau-
tions. Failure to do so may result
in death or serious injury.
■ When towing the vehicle
Be sure to transport the vehicle
with all four wheels raised off the
ground. If the vehicle is towed
with the tires contacting the
ground, the drivetrain or related
parts may be damaged, the vehi-
cle may fly off the truck, or elec-
tricity generated by the operation
of the motor may cause a fire to
occur depending on the nature of
the damage or malfunction.
■ While towing
● When towing using cables or
chains, avoid sudden starts, etc.
which place excessive stress on
the towing eyelets, cables or
chains. The towing eyelets,
cables or chains may become
damaged, broken debris may hit
people, and cause serious dam-
age.
●
Do not turn the power switch to
OFF. There is a possibility that
the steering wheel is locked and
cannot be operated.
■
Installing towing eyelet to the
vehicle
Make sure that towing eyelet is
installed securely. If not securely
installed, towing eyelet may come
loose during towing.
