7-2. Steps to take in an emergency
■ When attempting to free a stuck vehi-
cle
If you choose to push the vehicle back
and forth to free it, make sure the sur-
rounding area is clear to avoid striking
other vehicles, objects or people. The
vehicle may also lunge forward or lunge
back suddenly as it becomes free. Use
extreme caution.
■ When shifting the shift position
Be careful not to shift the shift position
with the accelerator pedal depressed.
This may lead to unexpected rapid accel-
eration of the vehicle that may cause an
accident resulting in death or serious
injury.
■ To avoid damaging the transmission
and other components
● Avoid spinning the wheels and
depressing the accelerator pedal
more than necessary.
● If the vehicle remains stuck even after
these procedures are performed, the
vehicle may require towing to be
freed.
● When a warning message for the
automatic transmission fluid tempera-
ture is displayed while attempting to
free a stuck vehicle, immediately
remove your foot from the accelerator
pedal and wait until the warning mes-
sage disappears. Otherwise, the trans-
mission may become damaged.
