Toyota 2007 YARIS HATCHBACK Owner's Manual page 243

A driver must be in the vehicle to steer
it and operate the brakes.
Towing in this manner may be done only
on hard−surfaced roads for a short dis-
tance and at low speeds. Also,
wheels, axles, drive train, steering and
brakes must all be in good condition.
CAUTION
Use extreme caution when towing ve-
hicles. Avoid sudden starts or erratic
driving maneuvers which would place
excessive 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 damage.
NOTICE
z Use only a cable or chain specifi-
cally intended for use in towing ve-
hicles. Securely fasten the cable or
chain to the towing eyelet provided.
z Do not use the left rear eyelet. It is
not designed for towing.
Before towing, release the parking brake
and put the transmission in neutral (manu-
al) or "N" (automatic). The key must be
in "ACC" (engine off) or "ON" (engine run-
ning).
the
CAUTION
If the engine is not running, the pow-
er assist for the brakes and steering
will not work so steering and braking
will be much harder than usual.
