Before towing, release the parking brake
and put the transmission in neutral (manu-
al) or “N” (automatic). The key must be
in “ACC” (engine off) or “ON” (engine run-
ning).
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.
1. Remove the towing eyelet cover on the
bumper, using a flat−bladed screwdriver
which is wrapped with a cloth.2. Use the towing eyelet in the tool bag.
Secure it to the hole on the bumper by
turning clockwise. (For the tool bag
storage location, see “—Required tools
and spare tire” on page 151.)

3. Tighten the towing eyelet securely by
a wheel nut wrench.
CAUTION
When installing the eyelet on the ve-
hicle, be sure to tighten the eyelet
securely. If the eyelet is loose, it may
come off when being towed and re-
sult in death or serious injury.
If you cannot move the selector lever
out of “P” position to other positions
even though the brake pedal is de-
pressed, use the shift lock override but-
ton as follows:
1. Turn the ignition key to “LOCK”
position. Make sure the parking
brake is applied.
2. Pry up the cover with a flat bladed
screwdriver or equivalent.3. Insert your finger into the hole to
push down the shift lock override
button. You can move out of “P”
position only while pushing the but-
ton.
4. Shift into “N” position.
5. Insert the cover.
6. Start the engine. For your safety,
keep the brake pedal depressed.
Be sure to have the system checked by
your Scion dealer as soon as possible.

If you lose your keys
You can purchase a new key at your
Scion dealer if you can give them the
key number.
See the suggestion given in “Keys” on
page 8.
If your keys are locked in the vehicle and
you cannot get a duplicate, many Scion
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 smallest side window be-
cause it is the least expensive to replace.
Be extremely cautious to avoid cuts from
the glass.
