Using a flat bed truck
If your Toyota is transported by a
flat bed truck, it should be tied
down at the locations shown in
the illustration.
If you use chains or cables to tie
down your vehicle, the angles
indicated by triangles must be
45.
Do not overly tighten the tie
downs or the vehicle may be
damaged.
Apply the parking brake firmly.
NOTICE
To prevent damage to the vehicle
(vehicles with a manual transmission)
Vehicles without smart entry & start system: Do not tow the vehicle from
the rear with the key removed or in the LOCK position. The steering lock
mechanism is not strong enough to hold the front wheel straight.
Vehicles with smart entry & start system: Do not tow the vehicle from the
rear with the “ENGINE START STOP” switch OFF. The steering lock
mechanism is not strong enough to hold the front wheel straight.
When raising the vehicle, ensure adequate ground clearance for towing at
the opposite end of the raised vehicle. Without adequate clearance, the
vehicle could be damaged while being towed.
