If towing is necessary, we recommend
you to have it done by your Scion deal-
er or a commercial tow truck service.
If a towing service is not available in
an emergency, your vehicle may be
temporarily towed by a cable or chain
secured to either the emergency towing
eyelet on the front or the rear of the
vehicle. Use extreme caution when tow-
ing vehicles.
Vehicles with an automatic transmis-
sion, use only the front towing eyelet
when towing your vehicle.
To install the towing eyelet, see “—Instal-
ling towing eyelet” on page 178.
NOTICE
Only use specified towing eyelet;
otherwise your vehicle may be dam-
aged.
 Vehicles with an automatic trans-
mission, never tow a vehicle from
the rear with four wheels on the
ground. This may cause serious
damage to the transmission.
A driver must be in the vehicle to steer
it and operate the brakes.
