8-2. Steps to take in an emergency
The following may indicate a problem with your transmission. Contact
your Toyota dealer before towing.
●The engine is running but the vehicle will not move.
●The vehicle makes an abnormal sound.
If a tow truck is not available in an emergency, your vehicle may be
temporarily towed using a cable or chain secured to the emergency
towing eyelet. This should only be attempted on hard surfaced roads
for short distances at low speeds.
A driver must be in the vehicle to steer and operate the brakes. The
vehicle’s wheels, drive train, axles, steering and brakes must be in
good condition.
If your vehicle needs to be towed
If towing is necessary, we recommend having your vehicle
towed by your Toyota dealer or a commercial towing service,
using a lift-type truck or flat bed truck.
Use a safety chain system for all towing, and abide by all state/
provincial and local laws.

CAUTION
■When attempting to free a stuck vehicle
If you choose to push the vehicle back and forth to free it, make sure the
surrounding area is clear to avoid striking other vehicles, objects or people.
The vehicle may also lunge forward or lunge back suddenly as it becomes
free. Use extreme caution.

This may lead to unexpected rapid acceleration of the vehicle that may
cause an accident resulting in death or serious injury.

●Avoid spinning the front wheels and depressing the accelerator pedal
more than necessary.
●If the vehicle remains stuck even after these procedures are performed,
the vehicle may require towing to be freed.
