Always keep your foot on the brake
pedal while stopped with the engine
running. This prevents the vehicle
from creeping.
CAUTION

NOTICE
Do not hold the vehicle on an
upgrade with the accelerator pedal.
It can cause the transmission to
overheat. Always use the brake
pedal or parking brake.
(g) Rocking your vehicle if stuck
If you rock your vehicle to make it
out when it becomes stuck in snow,
mud, sand, etc., first check that
there is no physical object or people
around the vehicle. During opera-
tion, the vehicle may suddenly
move forward or backward, causing
injury or damage to nearby people
or objects.
CAUTION
!
NOTICE
If you rock your vehicle, observe the
following precautions to prevent
damage to the transmission and
other parts.
Do not depress the accelerator
pedal while shifting the selector
lever or before the transmission is
completely shifted to forward or
reverse gear.
Do not race the engine and avoid
spinning the wheels.
If your vehicle remains stuck after
rocking the vehicle several times,
consider other ways such as tow-
ing.
(h) If you cannot shift the selector lever
out of “P” position
If you cannot shift the selector lever from
the “P” position even though the brake
pedal is depressed, use the shift lock
override button. For instructions, see “If
you cannot shift automatic transmission
selector lever” in Part 4.
(i) Driving in “PWR” (Power) mode
In the “PWR” mode, the transmission is
shifted up and down at a higher vehicle
speed than in the “NORM” (Normal) mode
and a more powerful acceleration is
achieved. To set the “PWR” mode, push
in the driving pattern selector button. The
“PWR” mode indicator light comes on.
For ordinary driving, Toyota recommends
using the “NORM” mode to improve fuel
economy.
