If your vehicle needs to be towed

Before towing

The following may indicate a problem with your transmission. Contact
your Toyota dealer before towing.

l The engine is running, but the vehicle will not move.

l The vehicle makes an abnormal sound.

If towing is necessary, we recommend having your vehicle towed by

your Toyota dealer or a commercial towing service, using a lift-type

truck or a flat bed truck.

Use a safety chain system for all towing, and abide by all state/pro-

vincial and local laws.

If towing from the front, the vehicle’s rear wheel and axles must be in

good condition. (

If they are damaged, use a towing dolly or flat bed truck.
