5-1. Essential information

If your vehicle needs to be towed

Before towing

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

● The engine is running, but the vehicle will not move.
● 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 wheels and axles must be
in good condition. (

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