To protect the bodywork, place a
rag between the screwdriver and
the vehicle body, as shown in the

Caution while towing
Use extreme caution when towing the vehicle.
Avoid sudden starts or erratic driving maneuvers which place excessive
stress on the emergency towing eyelet and the cables or chains. Always
be cautious of the surroundings and other vehicles while towing.
If the engine is not running, the power assist for the brakes and steering
will not function, making steering and braking more difficult.
NOTICE
To prevent serious damage to the transmission
(vehicles with a Multidrive)
Never tow this vehicle from the rear with the front wheels on the ground.
This may cause serious damage to the transmission.
When towing a vehicle without using a towing dolly
(vehicles with a manual transmission)
Vehicles without smart entry & start system:
Do not tow the vehicle with the key removed or in the LOCK position.
Vehicles with smart entry & start system:

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.
