CAUTION
■Discharge headlights
●Contact your Toyota dealer before replacing high-intensity discharge
headlights (including light bulbs).
●Do not touch the high-intensity discharge headlight’s high voltage socket
when the headlights are turned on.
An extremely high voltage of 30000 V will be discharged and could result
in serious injury or death by electric shock.
●Do not attempt to take apart or repair the low beam discharge headlight
bulbs, connectors, power supply circuits, or related components.
Doing so could result in electric shock and serious injury or death.
■To prevent damage or fire
Make sure bulbs are fully seated and locked.

■Emergency towing procedure
The engine must be in ACCESSORY mode (engine off) or IGNI-
TION ON mode (engine running).

tial is unlocked.)

■While towing
●Use extreme caution when towing the vehicle.
Avoid sudden starts or erratic driving maneuvers which place excessive
stress on the emergency towing hook and the cable or chain. 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 causing serious damage to the transmission
●Never tow this vehicle with the wheels on the ground.
●Use only the front emergency towing hooks or towing eyelets (depending
on vehicles) when towing your vehicle.

tact your Toyota dealer as soon as possible.

comes on, or the low speed four-wheel drive indicator light or the center dif-
ferential lock indicator light continues to blink after taking the specified steps,
there may be a malfunction in the engine, the brake system or the four-
wheel drive system. In this case, you may not be able to transfer between
“H4” and “L4” modes, and the center differential lock may not be able to be
locked or unlocked. Have the vehicle inspected by your Toyota dealer imme-
diately.
