When trouble arises
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 hooks. 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.
Securely attach cables or
chains to the towing hooks.
Take care not to damage the vehi-
cle body.
Enter the vehicle being towed and start the engine.
If the engine does not start, turn the engine switch to the “ON” position
(vehicles without smart entry & start system) or IGNITION ON mode (vehi-
cles with smart entry & start system).
Vehicles with Stop & Start system:
Before towing the vehicle, turn the engine switch to the “LOCK” position
(vehicles without smart entry & start system) or off (vehicles with smart
entry & start system) once, and then start the engine.
4WD models: Turn the front-wheel drive control switch to H2.

QWhile towing
If the engine is not running, the power assist for the brakes and steering will
not function, making steering and braking more difficult.
WARNING
Observe the following precautions.
Failure to do so may result in death or serious injury.
Q When towing the vehicle
Q While towing
O When towing using cables or chains, avoid sudden starts, etc. which place
excessive stress on the towing hooks, cables or chains. The towing hooks,
cables or chains may become damaged, broken debris may hit people,
and cause serious damage.
O Do not turn the engine switch to the “LOCK” position (vehicles without
smart entry & start system) or off (vehicles with smart entry & start sys-
tem).
There is a possibility that the steering wheel is locked and cannot be oper-
ated.
Pre Runner (2WD 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 and related parts
may be damaged or an accident may
occur due to a change in direction of the
vehicle.
4WD 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
and related parts may be damaged, and

When trouble arises
NOTICE
QTo prevent damage to the vehicle when towing using a wheel-lift type
truck
O Do not tow the vehicle from the rear when the engine switch is in the
“LOCK” position or the key is removed (vehicles without smart entry & start
system) or the engine switch is turned to off (vehicles with smart entry &
start system). The steering lock mechanism is not strong enough to hold
the front wheels straight.
O 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.
Q 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.
Q To prevent damage to the vehicle during emergency towing
Do not secure cables or chains to the suspension components.
Q When towing a vehicle equipped with a Stop & Start system (if
equipped)
If it is necessary to tow the vehicle with all 4 wheels on the ground, perform
the following procedure before towing the vehicle, in order to protect the
system.
Turn the engine switch to the “LOCK” position (vehicles without smart entry
& start system) or off (vehicles with smart entry & start system) and then
start the engine or turn the engine switch to the “ON” position (vehicles with-
out smart entry & start system) or IGNITION ON mode (vehicles with smart

Inspect the ground under the vehicle.
If you find that fuel has leaked onto the ground, the fuel system has been
damaged and is in need of repair. Do not restart the engine.
