Use a towing dolly under the front
wheels.
When using a flat-bed truck to
transport the vehicle, use tire strap-
ping belts. Refe r to the owner’s
manual of the flat-bed truck for the
tire strapping method.
In order to suppress vehicle move-
ment during transportation, set the
parking brake and turn the engine
switch off.
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 eyelets. This should only be
attempted on hard surfaced roads
for at most 30 km (19 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, dr ive train, axles,
steering and brakes must be in
good condition.
For vehicles with an automatic
transmission, only the front towing
eyelets may be used.
To have your vehicle towed by
another vehicle, the towing eyelet
must be installed to your vehicle.
Install the towing eyelet using the
following procedure.
1 Take out the wheel nut wrench,
flathead screwdriver and towing
eyelet. ( P.346)
2 Remove the eyelet cover using
a flathead screwdriver.
To protect the bodywork, place a rag

■While towing
If the engine is not running, the power
assist for the brakes and steering will not function, making steering and brak-
ing more difficult.
■Wheel nut wrench
Wheel nut wrench is installed in trunk. ( P.346)
■Rear towing eyelet
If the towing eyelet is installed to the
rear, it can be used in an emergency to tow a vehicle lighter than your vehicle on
a normal road, using a rope.
■When towing another vehicle
For vehicles with BSD/RCTA, make sure
to turn BSD/RCTA off.
As the radar waves will be blocked by the towed vehicle, this system will not
operate properly.
■When installing a towing eyelet to
the rear
When installing a towing eyelet to the
rear, install it using the following proce-
dure.
1 Take out the wheel nut wrench,
flathead screwdriver and towing eye- let. ( P.346)
2 Remove the eyelet cover using a
flathead screwdriver.
To protect the bodywork, place a rag between the screwdriver and the vehicle
body as shown in the illustration.
3 Remove the cover from the bumper.

Check the degree of the tire
damage.
A tire should only be repaired with
the emergency tire puncture repair
If you have a flat tire
Your vehicle is not equipped
with a spare tire, but instead is
equipped with an emergency
tire puncture repair kit.
A puncture caused by a nail or
screw passing through the tire
tread can be repaired tempo-
rarily with the emergency tire
puncture repair kit.

■If you have a flat tire
Do not continue driving with a flat tire.
Driving even a short distance with a flat tire can damage the tire and the
wheel beyond repair. Driving with a
flat tire may cause a circumferential groove on the side wall. In such a
case, the tire may explode when
using the emergency tire puncture repair kit, resulting in death or serious
injury.
Before repairing the vehicle
3567-2. Steps to take in an emergency

New genuine mechanical keys
can be made by any authorized
Toyota retailer or Toyota
authorized repairer, or any reli-
able repairer using another
mechanical key and the key
number stamped on your key
number plate.
Keep the plate in a safe place
such as your wallet, not in the

●If steam is seen coming from under
the hood, do not open the hood
until the steam has subsided. The engine compartment may be very
hot.
●Keep hands and clothing (espe-
cially a tie, a scarf or a muffler)
away from the fans and belts. Fail-
ure to do so may cause the hands or clothing to be caught, resulting in
serious injury.
●Do not loosen the coolant reservoir
caps while the engine and radiator
are hot. High temperature steam or coolant
could spray out.
NOTICE
■When adding engine coolant
Add coolant slowly after the engine
has cooled down sufficiently. Adding
cool coolant to a hot engine too
quickly can cause damage to the engine.
■To prevent damage to the cooling system
Observe the following precautions:
●Avoid contaminating the coolant
with foreign matter (such as sand or
dust etc.).
●Do not use any coolant additive.
If the vehicle becomes
stuck
Carry out the following proce-
dures if the tires spin or the
vehicle becomes stuck in mud,
dirt or snow:
