When trouble arises
If a tow truck is not available in an emergency, your vehicle may be
temporarily towed using cables or chains secured to the emergency
towing hooks. This should only be attempted on hard surfaced roads
for at most 80 km (50 miles) at under 30 km/h (18 mph).
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.
Securely attach cables or
chains to the towing hooks.
Take care not to damage the vehi-
cle body.
Enter the vehicle being towed and start the engine.
If the engine does not start, turn the engine switch to the “ON” position
(vehicles without smart entry & start system) or IGNITION ON mode (vehi-
cles with smart entry & start system).
Vehicles with Stop & Start system:
Before towing the vehicle, turn the engine switch to the “LOCK” position
(vehicles without smart entry & start system) or off (vehicles with smart
entry & start system) once, and then start the engine.
4WD models: Turn the front-wheel drive control switch to H2.

Q When towing the vehicle
Q While towing
O When towing using cables or chains, avoid sudden starts, etc. which place
excessive stress on the towing hooks, cables or chains. The towing hooks,
cables or chains may become damaged, broken debris may hit people,
and cause serious damage.

ated.
Pre Runner (2WD models): Be sure to
transport the vehicle with all four wheels
raised off the ground. If the vehicle is
towed with the tires contacting the
ground, the drivetrain and related parts
may be damaged or an accident may
occur due to a change in direction of the
vehicle.
4WD models: Be sure to transport the
vehicle with all four wheels raised off the
ground. If the vehicle is towed with the
