If Your Vehicle Needs To Be Towed - Toyota LAND CRUISER 78 series Owner's Manual

If your vehicle needs to be
towed-
(a) Towing with wheel lift type truck-
-From front
-From rear
(b) Using flat bed truck
4005
If towing is necessary, we recom-
mended you to have it done by your
Toyota dealer or a commercial tow
truck service. In consultation with them,
have your vehicle towed using either (a)
or (b).
Only when you cannot receive a towing
service from a Toyota dealer or com-
mercial tow truck service, tow your ve-
hicle carefully in accordance with the
instructions given in "-Emergency
towing" in this section.
Proper equipment will help ensure that
your vehicle is not damaged while being
towed. Commercial operators are generally
aware of the state/provincial and local
laws pertaining to towing.
Your vehicle can be damaged if it is
towed incorrectly. Although most operators
know the correct procedure, it is possible
to make a mistake. To avoid damage to
your vehicle, make sure the following pre-
cautions are observed. If necessary, show
this page to the tow truck driver.
TOWING PRECAUTIONS:
Use a safety chain system for all towing,
and abide by the state/provincial and local
laws. The wheels and axle on the ground
must be in good condition. If they are
damaged, use a towing dolly.
(a) Towing with wheel lift type truck
From front-We recommend using a tow-
ing dolly under the rear wheels. If you do
not use a towing dolly, release the parking
brake, put the transmission in neutral and
the transfer in "H2" (lever type) or "H"
(lever/button type). If your vehicle has a
lever/button type four-wheel drive control,
the "H4" button must be left out.
From rear-We recommend using a tow-
ing dolly under the front wheels. If you do
not use a towing dolly, place the ignition
key in the "ACC" position, put the trans-
mission in neutral and the transfer in "H2"
(lever type) or "H" (lever/button type). If
your vehicle has a lever/button type four-
wheel drive control, the "H4" button must
be left out. Disengage both free-wheeling
hubs if so equipped.
