If your vehicle needs to be towed
Before towing
The following may indicate a problem with your transmission. Contact
your Toyota dealer before towing.
●The engine is running, but the vehicle will not move.
●The vehicle makes an abnormal sound.
Emergency towing
If a tow truck is not available in an emergency, your vehicle may be
temporarily towed using a cable or chain secured to the towing
hook(s). This should only be attempted on hard, surfaced roads for
short distances at low speeds.
A driver must be in the vehicle to steer and operate the brakes. The
vehicle’s wheels, drive train, axles, steering and brakes must be in
good condition.
Towing hook
If towing is necessary, we recommend having your vehicle towed by
your Toyota dealer or a commercial towing service, using a lift-type
truck or a flat bed truck.
Use a safety chain system for all towing, and abide by all state/pro-
vincial and local laws.
Use a towing dolly or flat bed truck.

600 5-1. Essential information

■Emergency towing procedure
The engine must be in ACCESSORY mode (engine off) or IGNI-
TION ON mode (engine running).
Put the four-wheel drive control switch in “H4”. (The center differen-
tial is unlocked.)
Put the shift lever in “N”.
Release the parking brake.
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 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.
