03 12.25 -Emergency towing If towing is necessary, we recommend you to have it done by your Toyota dealer or a commercial tow truck service. CAUTION 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. SB41033c 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 of the vehicle or the right emergency towing eyelet on the rear of the vehicle. Use extreme caution when towing vehicles. To install the towing eyelet, see "-Installing towing eyelet" on page 180 in this Section. D In case of installing the eyelet on the vehicle, be sure to tighten the eyelet securely. If the eyelet is loose, it may come off when towing and result in death or serious injury to the passenger in the front vehicle or damage to that vehicle. Front NOTICE Only use specified towing eyelet; otherwise your vehicle may be damaged. SB41034b 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. A driver must be in the vehicle to steer it and operate the brakes. Towing in this manner may be done only on hard−surfaced roads for a short distance and at low speeds. Also, the wheels, axles, drive train, steering and brakes must all be in good condition. Rear 2004 MR2 from Feb. '04 Prod. (OM17518U) 179
