■Replacing light bulbs
●Turn off the lights. Do not attempt to
replace the bulb immediately after turning off the lights. The bulbs
become very hot and may cause
burns.
●Do not touch the glass portion of
the light bulb with bare hands.
When it is unavoidable to hold the glass portion, use and hold with a
clean dry cloth to avoid getting
moisture and oils on the bulb. Also, if the bulb is scratched or dropped,
it may blow out or crack.
●Fully install light bulbs and any
parts used to secure them. Failure
to do so may result in heat damage, fire, or water entering the light unit.
This may damage the lights or
cause condensation to build up on the lens.
■To prevent damage or fire
Make sure bulbs are fully seated and
locked.

lock the steering wheel.

4648-1. Essential information
If the door can be opened, open
the door and exit the vehicle.
 If the door can not be opened,
open the window using the
power window switch and ensure
an escape route.
 If the window can be opened,
exit the vehicle through the win-
dow.
 If the door and window cannot be
opened due to the rising water,
remain calm, wait until the water
level inside the vehicle rises to
the point that the water pressure
inside of the vehicle equals the
water pressure outside of the
vehicle and then open the door
after waiting for the rising water
to enter the vehicle, and exit the
vehicle. When the outside water
level exceeds half the height of
the door, the door cannot be
opened from the inside due to
water pressure.
■Water level exceeds the floor
When the water level exceeds the floor and time has passed, the electrical
equipment will get damaged, the power
windows will not operate, the engine stop, and the vehicle may not be able to
get moving.
■Using an emergency escape ham-
mer*

or Toyota authorized repairer, or any
reliable repairer or aftermarket acces-
sory manufacturer for further informa-
tion about an emergency hammer.

merged or water on the
road is rising
This vehicle is not designed to
be able to drive on roads that
are deeply flooded with water.
Do not drive on roads where
the roads may be submerged
or the water may be rising. It is
dangerous to remain in the
vehicle, if it anticipated that the
vehicle will be flooded or set a
drift. Remain calm and follow
the following.
WA R N I N G
■Caution while driving
Do not drive on roads where the roads may be submerged or the water

■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.
NOTICE
■To prevent damage to the vehicle
when towing using a wheel-lift
type truck
●Vehicles without smart entry & start
system: Do not tow the vehicle from
the rear when the engine switch is in the “LOCK” position or the key is
removed. The steering lock mecha-
nism is not strong enough to hold
the front wheels straight.
●Vehicles with smart entry & start
system: Do not tow the vehicle from the rear when the engine 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 tow-
ing at the opposite end of the raised
vehicle. Without adequate clear- ance, the vehicle could be dam-
aged while being towed.
■Towing with a sling-type truck

strapping belts.
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 at most 80 km (50 miles) at
under 30 km/h (18 mph).
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.
For vehicles with a Multidrive, only
the front towing eyelet may be
used.
To have your vehicle towed by
another vehicle, the towing eyelet
must be installed to your vehicle.
Install the towing eyelet using the
following procedure.
1 Take out the wheel nut wrench
(if equipped) and towing eyelet.
( P.484, 499)
2 Remove the eyelet cover using
a flathead screwdriver.
To protect the bodywork, place a rag
between the screwdriver and the vehi- cle body as shown in the illustration.
3 Insert the towing eyelet into the
hole and tighten partially by
hand.
4 Tighten down the towing eyelet
securely using a wheel nut
wrench or hard metal bar.

which place excessive stress on the
towing eyelets, cables or chains. The towing eyelets, cables or
chains may become damaged, bro-
ken debris may hit people, and cause serious damage.
●Vehicles without smart entry & start system: Do not tu rn the engine
switch to the “LOCK” position.
There is a possibility that the steer-
ing wheel is locked and cannot be operated.
