Toyota LAND CRUISER 78 series Owner's Manual page 142

If towing is necessary, we recom-
mended you to have it done by your
Toyota dealer or a commercial tow
truck service.
If towing service is not available in an
emergency, your vehicle may be tempo-
rarily towed by a cable or chain se-
cured to one of the following parts:
Front: Emergency towing eyelets
Rear: Emergency towing eyelet or pintle
hook
&
CAUTION
Use extreme caution when towing ve-
hicles. Avoid sudden starts or erratic
driving maneuvers which would place
excessive stress on the emergency
towing eyelet or pintle hook and tow-
ing cable or chain. The eyelet or
pintle hook and towing cable or chain
may break and cause serious injury
or damage.
Rear: Pintle hook
40026
NOTICE
Only use specified towing eyelet or
pintle hook; otherwise your vehicle
may be damaged.
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, the
wheels, axles, drive train, steering and
brakes must all be in good condition.
NOTICE
Use only
a
cable or chain specifically
intended for use in towing vehicles.
Securely fasten the cable or chain
to
the towing eyelet or pintle hook pro-
vided.
Before towing, 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. The key
must be in "ACC" (engine off) or "ON"
(engine running).
