If towing is necessary, we recommend
you to have it done by your Toyota
dealer or a commercial tow truck ser-
vice.
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: Front emergency towing hook
Rear: Rear emergency towing hook
Use extreme caution when towing the
vehicle.
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-
hicle. Avoid sudden starts or erratic
driving maneuvers which would place
excessive stress on the emergency
towing hook and towing cable or
chain. The hook and towing cable or
chain may break and cause serious
injury or damage.
NOTICE
_ Do not use front and rear eyelets.
It is not designed for towing.
_ Use only a cable or chain specifi-
the
cally intended for use in towing ve-
hicles. Securely fasten the cable or
chain to the towing hook provided.
Before towing, release the parking brake
and put the transmission in "N". Unlock
the center differential. The key must be in
"ACC" (engine off) or "ON" (engine run-
ning).

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.
