If towing is necessary, we rec-
ommend having your vehicle
towed by any authorized
Toyota retailer or Toyota autho-
rized repairer, or any reliable
repairer or commercial towing
service, using a wheel-lift type
truck or flatbed truck.
Use a safety chain system for
all towing, and abide by all
state/provincial and local laws.
If towing your vehicle with a
wheel-lift type truck, use a tow-
ing dolly. ( P.307, 308)
WARNING
Observe the following precautions. Failure to do so may result in death or serious injury.
■When towing the vehicle
Be sure to transport the vehicle with all four wheels raised off the ground. If
the vehicle is towed with the tires con- tacting the ground, the drivetrain or related parts may be damaged, the
vehicle may fly off the truck.
■While towing
●When towing using cables or
chains, avoid sudden starts, etc. which place excessive stress on the towing eyelets, cables or chains.
The towing eyelets, cables or chains may become damaged, bro-ken debris may hit people, and
cause serious damage.
●Do not turn the engine switch off.
There is a possibility that the steer- ing wheel is locked and cannot be operated.
■Installing towing eyelets to the vehicle
Make sure that towing eyelets are installed securely.If not securely installed, towing eye-
lets may come loose during towing.

ing at the opposite end of the raised vehicle. Without adequate clear-ance, the vehicle could be dam-
aged while being towed.

When trouble arises
When using a flat-bed truck to
transport the vehicle, use tire strap-
ping belts. Refer 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 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.
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 towing eyelet.
( P.285, 325)
2 Remove the eyelet cover using
a flathead screwdriver.
To protect the bodywork, place a rag
between the screwdriver and the vehi- cle body as shown in the illustration.
