5-1. Essential information

If your vehicle needs to be towed

If towing is necessary, we recommend having your vehicle towed by
your Toyota dealer or a commercial towing service, using a lift-type
truck or flatbed truck.
Use a safety chain system for all towing, and abide by all state/pro-
vincial and local laws.
Before towing
The following may indicate a problem with your hybrid transmission.
Contact your Toyota dealer before towing.
● The hybrid system is operating but the vehicle will not move.
● The vehicle makes an abnormal sound.
Emergency towing
If a tow truck is not available in
an emergency, your vehicle may
be temporarily towed using a
cable or chain secured to the
emergency towing eyelet. This
should only be attempted on
hard surfaced roads for short
distances 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.
