Push-Starting
Do not push-start your Scion.
You cannot start a vehicle with an automatic transaxle by pushing it.
WARNING
■Never tow a vehicle to start it
Towing a vehicle to start it is dangerous. The vehicle being towed could
surge forward when its engine starts, causing the two vehicles to collide.
The occupants could be injured.
NOTICE
Do not push-start a vehicle that has a manual transaxle. It can damage the
emission control system.

6-6. Emergency Towing
Towing Description
We recommend that towing be
done only by your Scion dealer or
a commercial tow-truck service.
Proper lifting and towing are nec-
essary to prevent damage to the
vehicle.
Government and local laws must
be followed.
A towed vehicle usually should
have its drive wheels (front
wheels) off the ground. If exces-
sive damage or other conditions
prevent this, use wheel dollies.
When towing with the rear wheels on the ground, release the parking
brake.
Wheel dollies
NOTICE
●Do not tow the vehicle pointed back-
ward with driving wheels on the ground.
This may cause internal damage to the
transaxle.
● Do not tow with sling-type equipment.
This could damage your vehicle. Use
wheel-lift or flatbed equipment.

The hook positioned under the
rear bumper on the driver’s side is
for tying down the vehicle during
transport, and it cannot be used
for towing other vehicles. It can be
used as a towing hook only when
the vehicle must be towed by
another vehicle in an emergency
case such as when the vehicle is
stuck in snow, however, it may
damage the bumper.
NOTICE
●Do not use excessive force as it may damage the cap or scratch the
painted bumper surface.
● If the tiedown eyelet is not securely tightened, it may loosen or disengage
from the bumper when tying the vehicle. Make sure that the tiedown eyelet
is securely tightened to the bumper.
Tiedown Hook-Rear
Tiedown hook
NOTICE
When using the hook in such emergency cases, observe the following so as
not to damage the tiedown hook or the vehicle body.
● The vehicle must be pulled straight to the rear so that no load is applied to
the vehicle in the lateral direction.
● The bumper may be damaged if the tie down hook is used as a towing
hook.
● When using a metal chain or wire cable, wrap a cloth around the attach-
ment area. If the metal chain or wire cable contacts the bumper directly,
the bumper could be scratched or damaged.
