2001 Toyota MR2 Spyder Owners Manual - Page 173

01MY MR2(U) L/O 0008 If you lose your keys CAUTION Before towing, release the parking brake and put the transmission in neutral. The key must be in "ACC" (engine off) or "ON" (engine running). 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 immobiliser system must be replaced. See the suggestion given in "Keys" on page 8 in Section 1-2. 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 extremely cautious to avoid cuts from the glass. D Use extreme caution when towing a vehicle. Avoid sudden starts or erratic driving maneuvers which would place excessive stress on the emergency towing eyelets and towing cable or chain. The eyelets and towing cable or chain may break and cause serious injury or damage. 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. D When installing the eyelet on the vehicle, be sure to tighten the eyelet securely. If the tightening is loose, it may come off when being towed and result in death or serious injury. NOTICE z Use only a cable or chain specifically intended for use in towing vehicles. Securely fasten the cable or chain to the towing eyelets provided. z Do not use the left rear eyelet. It is not designed for towing. 148 2001 MR2 (OM17482U)
