CAUTION
Do not tow without a towing dolly
when the ignition switch is in the
“ON” position and/or when the trans-
mission is not in the neutral gear
position. Otherwise, you may be in-
volved in an unexpected accident.
NOTICE
When lifting wheels, take care to
ensure adequate ground clearance
for towing at the opposite end of
the raised vehicle. Otherwise, the
bumper and/or underbody of the
towed vehicle will be damaged dur-
ing towing.
 Do not tow with the key removed or
in the “LOCK” position, as the
steering lock mechanism is not
strong enough to hold the front
wheels straight while towing.

NOTICE
Use only a cable or chain specifi-
cally intended for use in towing ve-
hicles. Securely fasten the cable or
chain to the towing eyelets pro-
vided.
 Do not use the left rear eyelet. It is
not designed for towing.
Before towing, release the parking brake
and put the transmission in “N” (sequential
manual transmission) or in neutral (manual
transmission).
Sequential manual transmission: The
key must be in “ACC”.
Manual transmission: The key must be
in “ACC” (engine off) or “ON” (engine run-
ning).
Sequential manual transmission only:
After shifting the selector lever to the “N”
position, always make sure that the gear
is actually disengaged and is in neutral by
pushing the vehicle by hand or other
means. In case the gear can not be put
in neutral, turn the ignition switch from the
“OFF” to “ON” position, and operate the
selector lever once from “N” to “S” or “R”,
then back to “N” again. Then turn the
ignition switch from the ”ON” to “OFF”
position. These procedures may help put
the gear in neutral. If the gear still can
not be put in neutral, you can not tow
with cables or chains.CAUTION
If the engine is not running, the
power assist for the brakes and
steering will not work so steering
and braking will be much harder
than usual.
Do not tow with a cable or chain
when the ignition switch is in the
“ON” position and/or when the
transmission is not in the neutral
gear position. Otherwise, you may
be involved in an unexpected acci-
dent.

In case the selector lever lock is not
released and the selector lever cannot
be moved even though the ignition
switch is turned to the ”ON” position,
follow the procedures below:1. Turn the ignition key to the ”LOCK” or “ACC” position. Make sure the
parking brake is applied.
2. Pry up the cover with a flatbladed screwdriver or equivalent.

3. To push the link, insert a key orscrewdriver to the hole. The lever
can be operated while the link is
being pushed.
4. Shift into the ”N” position.
5. Reinsert the cover.
6. Start the engine while depressing the brake pedal.
Be sure to have the system checked by
your Toyota dealer as soon as possible.
If you lose your keys
You can purchase a new key at your
Toyota dealer if you can give them the
key number and master key.
Even if you lose only one key, contact
your Toyota dealer to make a new key. If
you lose all your master keys, you cannot
make new keys; the whole engine immobi-
liser system must be replaced.
See the suggestion given in “Keys” on
page 8 in Section 12.
If your keys are locked in the vehicle and
you cannot get a duplicate, many Toyota
dealers can still open the door for you,
using their special tools. If you must
break a window to get in, we suggest
breaking the side window because it is
the least expensive to replace. Be ex-
tremely cautious to avoid cuts from the
glass.
If you cannot shift the
