8-2. Steps to take in an emergency
RAV4-HV_OM_OM42A56U_(U)
If a tow truck is not available in an emergency, your vehicle may be
temporarily towed using cables and chains secured to the emergency
towing eyelets. This should only be attempted on hard surfaced roads
for at most short distances at under 3 mph (5 km/h).
A driver must be in the vehicle to steer and operate the brakes. The
vehicle’s wheels, drive train, axles, steering and brakes must be in
good condition.
Take out the towing eyelet.
Remove the eyelet cover using
a flathead screwdriver.
To protect the bodywork, place a
rag between the screwdriver and
the vehicle body as shown in the
illustration.
Insert the towing eyelet into the
hole and tighten partially by
hand.
