After changing wheels
11. Check the air pressure of the re-placed tire.
Adjust the air pressure to the specification
designed in Section 8. If the pressure is
lower, drive slowly to the nearest service
station and fill to the correct pressure.
Do not forget to reinstall the tire inflation
valve cap as dirt and moisture could get
into the valve core and possibly cause air
leakage. If the cap is missing, have a new
one put on as soon as possible.
12. Restow all the tools, jack and flat tire securely.
As soon after changing wheels as pos-
sible, tighten the wheel nuts to the torque
specified in Section 8 with a torque
wrench and have a technician repair the
flat tire.
CAUTION
Before driving, make sure all the
tools, jack and flat tire are securely
in place in their storage location to
reduce the possibility of personal in-
jury during a collision or s udden
braking.

(a) Towing with wheel lift type truck
From front
 From rear
(b) Using flat bed truckIf towing is necessary, we recommend
you to have it done by your Toyota
dealer or a commercial tow truck ser-
vice. In consultation with them, have
your vehicle towed using either (a) or
(b).
Only when you cannot receive a towing
service from a Toyota dealer or com-
mercial tow truck service, tow your ve-
hicle carefully in accordance with the
instructions given in "Emergency tow-
ing" in this part.
Proper equipment will help ensure that
your vehicle is not damaged while being
towed. Commercial operators are generally
aware of the state/provincial and local
laws pertaining to towing.
Your vehicle can be damaged if it is
towed incorrectly. Although most operators
know the correct procedure, it is possible
to make a mistake. To avoid damage to
your vehicle, make sure the following few
precautions are observed. If necessary,
show this page to the tow truck driver.
TOWING PRECAUTIONS:
Use a safety chain system for all towing,
and abide by the state/provincial and local
laws. The wheels and axle on the ground
must be in good condition. If they are
damaged, use a towing dolly.
If your vehicle needs to be
towed

Emergency towing
SU41023
Front
SU41024
Rear
If towing is necessary, we recommend
you to have it done by your Toyota
dealer or a commercial tow truck ser-
vice.
If a towing service is not available in
an emergency, your vehicle may be
temporarily towed by a cable or chain
secured to either the emergency towing
eyelet
∗1 on the front of the vehicle or
to the left emergency towing eyelet un-
der the rear of the vehicle. Use extreme
caution when towing vehicles.
A driver must be in the vehicle to steer
it and operate the brakes.
Towing in this manner may be done only
on hard−surfaced roads for a short dis-
tance and at low speeds. Also, the
wheels, axles, drive train, steering and
brakes must all be in good condition.
∗
1 Front eyelet
The front eyelet is stored in the trunk with
the jack handle.
To install: Remove the cover of front eye-
let and install it as shown in the illustra-
tion.
CAUTION
Use extreme caution when towing
vehicles. 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.
In case of installing the front eyelet
on the vehicle, be sure to tighten
in the front eyelet securely. If the
tightening is loose, it may come off
when towing and result in death or
serious injury to the passenger in
the ront vehicle or damage to that
vehicle.
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 eyelet provided.
 Do not use the left rear eyelet. It is
not designed for towing.
