If your engine stalls while
driving
If your engine stalls while driving ...
1. Reduce your speed gradually, keeping
a straight line. Move cautiously off the
road to a safe place.
2. Turn on your emergency flashers.
3. Turn the ignition key to "ACC" or
"LOCK", and try starting the engine
again.
If the engine will not start, see "If your
vehicle will not start" on page 256 in this
Section.
&
CAUTION
If the engine is not running, the pow-
er assist for the brakes and steering
will not work so steering and braking
will be much harder than usual.
If you cannot increase engine
speed (gasoline engine)
If engine speed does not increase when
the accelerator pedal is depressed, there
may be a problem somewhere in your
electronic throttle control system.
At this time, vibration may occur. Howev-
er, if you depress the accelerator pedal
more firmly and slowly, you can drive your
vehicle at low speeds. Have your vehicl6
checked by your Toyota dealer as soon as
possible.
Even if the abnormality of the electronic
throttle control system is corrected during
low speed driving, the system may not be
recovered until the engine is stopped and
the ignition key is turned to "ACC" or
"LOCK" position.
&
CAUTION
Be especially careful to prevent erro-
neous pedal operation.
If you cannot increase engine
speed (diesel engine)
If engine speed does not increase when
the accelerator pedal is depressed, there
may be a problem somewhere in the elec-
tronic engine control system. Stop the ve-
hicle and contact your Toyota dealer or
take your vehicle carefUlly, since the ve-
hicle performance will be lower than nor-
mal, to your Toyota dealer as soon as
possible.
Even if the abnormality of the electronic
throttle control system is corrected during
low speed driving, the system may not be
recovered until the engine is stopped and
the ignition key is turned to "ACC" or
"LOCK" position.
