Do not push-start your Toyota.
You cannot start a vehicle with an automatic transaxle by pushing it.
WARNING
■Never tow a vehicle to start it
Towing a vehicle to start it is dangerous. The vehicle being towed could
surge forward when its engine starts, causing the two vehicles to collide.
The occupants could be injured.

6-6. Emergency Towing
Towing Description
A towed vehicle usually should
have its drive wheels (front
wheels) off the ground. If exces-
sive damage or other conditions
prevent this, use wheel dollies.
When towing with the rear wheels
on the ground, release the parking
brake.
We recommend that towing be done only by your Toyota dealer
or a commercial tow-truck service.
Proper lifting and towing are necessary to prevent damage to
the vehicle. Government and local laws must be followed.
Wheel dollies
NOTICE
●Do not tow the vehicle pointed back-
ward with driving wheels on the ground.
This may cause internal damage to the
transaxle.
● Do not tow with sling-type equipment.
This could damage your vehicle. Use
wheel-lift or flatbed equipment.

The hook positioned under the
rear bumper on the right side is for
tying down the vehicle during
transport, and it cannot be used
for towing other vehicles.
It can be used as a towing hook
only when the vehicle must be
towed by another vehicle in an
emergency case such as when
the vehicle is stuck in snow, how-
ever, it may damage the bumper.
NOTICE
●Do not use excessive force as it may damage the cap or scratch the
painted bumper surface.
● If the tiedown eyelet is not securely tightened, it may loosen or disengage
from the bumper when tying the vehicle. Make sure that the tiedown eyelet
is securely tightened to the bumper.
Tiedown Hook-Rear
Tiedown hook
NOTICE
When using the hook in such emergency cases, observe the following so as
not to damage the tiedown hook or the vehicle body.
●The vehicle must be pulled straight to the rear so that no load is applied to
the vehicle in the lateral direction.
● The bumper may be damaged if the tie down hook is used as a towing
hook.
● When using a metal chain or wire cable, wrap a cloth around the attach-
ment area. If the metal chain or wire cable contacts the bumper directly,
the bumper could be scratched or damaged.
