When trouble arises
Refuel your vehicle.
Operate the priming pump until
you feel more resistance to
bleed the fuel system.
Start the engine. (P. 254, 258)
If the engine does not start after the above steps have been performed,
wait for 10 seconds and try step 2 and 3 again. If the engine still does not
start, contact any authorized Toyota dealer or repairer, or another duly
qualified and equipped professional.
After starting the engine, depress the accelerator pedal lightly until the
engine runs smoothly.
If you run out of fuel and the engine stalls

NOTICE
When restarting the engine
Do not crank the engine before refueling and operating the priming pump.
This may damage the engine and fuel system.
Vehicles without a smart entry & start system: Do not crank for more than
30 seconds at a time. This may overheat the starter and wiring system.

Except hybrid model
Stop the engine. Set the parking brake and shift the shift lever to
P (Multidrive) or N (manual transmission and multi-mode manual
transmission).
Remove the mud, snow or sand from around the front wheels.
Place wood, stones or some other material under the front
wheels to help provide traction.
Restart the engine.
Shift the shift lever to D or R (Multidrive) or 1 or R (manual trans-
mission and multi-mode manual transmission) and release the
parking brake. Then, while exercising caution, depress the accel-
erator pedal.
Hybrid model
Set the parking brake and stop the hybrid system.
Remove the mud, snow, or sand from around the stuck tire.
Place wood, stones or some other material to help provide trac-
tion under the tires.
Restart the hybrid system.
Make sure to change the shift position to D or R, release the
parking brake, and then carefully apply the accelerator to free the
vehicle.
If the vehicle becomes stuck
Carry out the following procedures if the tires spin or the vehicle
becomes stuck in mud, dirt or snow:

Recommended viscosity (SAE):
SAE 0W-20 is filled into your
Toyota vehicle at manufactur-
ing, and the best choice for
good fuel economy and good
starting in cold weather.
If SAE 0W-20 oil is not avail-
able, SAE 5W-30 oil may be
used. However, it should be
replaced with SAE 0W-20 at the
next oil change.
If you use SAE 10W-30 or a
higher viscosity engine oil in
extremely low temperatures,
the engine may become difficult
to start, so SAE 5W-30 or lower
viscosity engine oil is recom-
mended.
Oil viscosity (0W-20 is explained here as an example):
• The 0W in 0W-20 indicates the characteristic of the oil which
allows cold startability. Oils with a lower value before the W allow
for easier starting of the engine in cold weather.
• The 20 in 0W-20 indicates the viscosity characteristic of the oil
when the oil is at high temperature. An oil with a higher viscosity
(one with a higher value) may be better suited if the vehicle is
operated at high speeds, or under extreme load conditions.
Temperature range anticipated
before next oil change.
