Installing Front Towing Eyelet - Toyota AURION Owner's Manual

IN CASE OF AN EMERGENCY
CAUTION
Use extreme caution when towing vehi-
cles. Avoid sudden starts or erratic driv-
ing manoeuvres which would place exces-
sive stress on the emergency towing
eyelets and towing cable or chain. The
eyelets and towing cable or chain may
break and cause serious injury or dam-
age.
NOTICE
Use only a cable or chain specifically
D
intended for use in towing vehicles.
Securely fasten the cable or chain to
D
the towing eyelet provided.
Do not allow the cable or chain to con-
D
tact the vehicle body when towing.
Doing so may damage the vehicle.
Before towing, release the parking brake and
put the transmission in the "N" position.
The ignition switch must be set to ACC (en-
gine off) or ON (engine running).
CAUTION
If the engine is not running, the power
assist for the brakes and steering will
not work so steering and braking will be
much harder than usual.
