When trouble arises
Vehicles with a smart entry &
start system
Press and hold the engine switch for 2
consecutive seconds or more, or press
it briefly 3 times or more in succession.
5 Stop the vehicle in a safe place
by the road.
z Remove the seat belt first.
z If the door can be opened, open
the door and exit the vehicle.
z If the door cannot be opened,
open the window using the
power window switch and exit
the vehicle through the window.
z If the window cannot be opened
using the power window switch,
remain calm, wait until the water
level inside the vehicle rises to
the point that the water pressure
inside of the vehicle equals the
water pressure outside of the
vehicle, and then open the door
and exit the vehicle.
WARNING
■If the engine has to be turned off while driving
●Power assist for the brakes and
steering wheel will be lost, making the brake pedal harder to depress and the steering wheel heavier to
turn. Decelerate as much as possi- ble before turning off the engine.
●Vehicles without a smart entry & start system: Never attempt to remove the key, as doing so will
lock the steering wheel.
If the vehicle is trapped
in rising water
In the event the vehicle is sub-
merged in water, remain calm
and perform the following.
WARNING
■Using an emergency hammer* for
emergency escape
The front side windows and rear side windows, as well as the rear window
can be shattered with an emergency
hammer* used for emergency escape. However, an emergency
hammer* cannot shatter the wind- shield as it is laminated glass.*: Contact any authorized Toyota
retailer or Toyota authorized
repairer, or any reliable repairer, or
aftermarket accessory manufac-
turer for further information about
an emergency hammer.

WARNING
■Escaping the vehicle from the window
There are cases where escaping the vehicle from the window is not possi-ble due to seating position, passenger
body type, etc. When using an emergency hammer, consider your seat location and the
size of the window opening to ensure that the opening is accessible and large enough to escape.

7-2.Ste ps to take in an emerg ency
If your vehicle needs to
be towed
If towing is necessary, we rec-
ommend having your vehicle
towed by any authorized
Toyota retailer or Toyota autho-
rized repairer, or any reliable
repairer or commercial towing
service, using a wheel-lift type
truck or flatbed truck.
Use a safety chain system for
all towing, and abide by all
state/provincial and local laws.
WARNING
Observe the following precautions. Failure to do so may result in death or serious injury.
■When towing the vehicle
Be sure to transport the vehicle with
the front wheels raised or with all four wheels raised off the ground. If the vehicle is towed with the front wheels
contacting the ground, the drivetrain and related parts may be damaged.
■While towing
●When towing using cables or chains, avoid sudden starts, etc.
which place excessive stress on the towing eyelets, cables or chains. The towing eyelets, cables or
chains may become damaged, bro- ken debris may hit people, and cause serious damage.
●Do not turn the engine switch off.There is a possibility that the steer-
ing wheel is locked and cannot be operated.
■Installing towing eyelets to the vehicle
Make sure that towing eyelets are
installed securely. If not securely installed, towing eye-lets may come loose during towing.
NOTICE
■To prevent damage to the vehicle when towing using a wheel-lift type truck
●Do not tow the vehicle from the rear when the engine switch is off. The steering lock mechanism is not
strong enough to hold the front wheels straight.
●When raising the vehicle, ensure adequate ground clearance for tow-ing at the opposite end of the raised
vehicle. Without adequate clear- ance, the vehicle could be dam-aged while being towed.
■To prevent damage to the vehicle when towing with a sling-type
truck
Do not tow with a sling-type truck, either from the front or rear.
■To prevent damage to the vehicle during emergency towing
Do not secure cables or chains to the suspension components.
