If your vehicle is transported by a

flatbed truck, it should be tied

down at the locations shown in the

illustration.

down your vehicle, the angles

shaded in black must be 45.

Do not overly tighten the tie

downs or the vehicle may be dam-

aged.

Emergency towing

If a tow truck is not available in an emergency, your vehicle may be

temporarily towed using cables or chains secured to the emergency

towing eyelets. This should only be attempted on hard surfaced roads

for short distances at under 30 km/h (18 mph).

8-2. Steps to take in an emergency

■While towing

If the hybrid system is off, the power assist for the brakes and steering will not

function, making steering and braking more difficult.

■ Wheel nut wrench

Vehicles without a wheel nut wrench: Wheel nut wrench can be purchased at

any authorized Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or any reliable

repairer.

Vehicles with a wheel nut wrench: Wheel nut wrench is installed in the lug-

gage compartment. (P. 615, 633)

WARNING

Observe the following precautions.

Failure to do so may result in death or serious injury.

■ When towing the vehicle

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 or electricity gen-

erated by the operation of the motor may

cause a fire to occur depending on the

nature of the damage or malfunction.

■ While towing

●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 damage.

●Do not turn the power switch off.

There is a possibility that the steering wheel is locked and cannot be oper-

ated.

■ Installing towing eyelets to the vehicle

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 power switch is off. The

steering lock mechanism is not strong enough to hold the front wheels

straight.

● When raising the vehicle, ensure adequate ground clearance for towing at

the opposite end of the raised vehicle. Without 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.
