If your vehicle needs

to be towed

If towing is necessary, we
recommend having your
vehicle towed by your
Toyota dealer or commer-
cial towing service, using a
wheel-lift type truck or flat-
bed truck.
Use a safety chain system
for all towing, and abide by
all state/provincial and local
laws.
2WD models: If towing your
vehicle with a wheel-lift type
truck from the front, the
vehicle’s rear wheels and
axles must be in good con-
ditions. (

P.615, 617)

If they are damaged, use a
towing dolly or flatbed
truck.
AWD models: If towing your
vehicle with a wheel-lift type
truck, use a towing dolly.
(

P.615, 617)

WARNING

Observe the following precau-

tions. Failure to do so may result

in death or serious injury.

When towing the vehicle

2WD models

Be sure to transport the vehicle

with the front wheels raised or

with all four wheels raised off the

ground. If the vehicle is towed

with the front wheels contacting

the ground, the drivetrain and

related parts may be damaged.

AWD models

Be sure to transport the vehicle

with all four wheels raised off the

ground. If the vehicle is towed

with the tires contacting the

ground, the drivetrain or related

parts may be damaged, the vehi-

8-2. Steps to take in an emergency

The following may indicate a
problem with your transmission.
Contact your Toyota dealer or
commercial towing service

WARNING

While towing (vehicles with

towing eyelet)

When towing using cables or

chains, avoid sudden starts, etc.

which place excessive stress on

the towing eyelets, cables or

chains. The towing eyelets,

cables or chains may become

damaged, broken debris may hit

people, and cause serious dam-

age.

Do not turn the engine switch to

OFF (vehicles without smart key

system).

There is a possibility that the

steering wheel is locked and

cannot be operated.

Installing towing eyelets to

the vehicle (vehicles with

towing eyelets)

Make sure that towing eyelets are

installed securely. If not securely

installed, towing eyelets may

come loose during towing.

NOTICE

To prevent damage to the

vehicle when towing using a

wheel-lift type truck

Do not tow the vehicle from the

rear when the engine switch is

off. The steering lock mecha-

nism (if equipped) is not strong

enough to hold the front wheels

straight.

When raising the vehicle,

ensure adequate ground clear-

ance for towing at the opposite

end of the raised vehicle. With-

out adequate clearance, the

vehicle could be damaged while

being towed.

To prevent damage to the

vehicle when towing with a

sling-type truck

Do not tow with a sling-type truck,

either from the front or rear.

To prevent damage to the

vehicle during emergency

towing (vehicles with towing

eyelet)

Do not secure cables or chains to

the suspension components.

When towing the vehicle

(vehicles with Stop & Start

system)

If it is necessary to tow the vehicle

with all four wheels on the ground,

perform the following procedure

before towing the vehicle, in order

to protect the system.

Turn the engine switch to OFF

and then start the engine or turn

the engine switch to ON.

Recreational towing (behind

motor home, etc.)

Never dinghy tow your vehicle to

prevent causing serious damage

to the AWD system (AWD mod-

els) and transmission. (
