If Your Vehicle Becomes Stuck - Toyota 2004 Rav4 Owner's Manual

—After changing wheels
10.Check the air pressure of the re-
placed tire.
Adjust the air pressure to the specifi-
cation designated on page 316 in
Section 8. If the pressure is lower,
drive slowly to the nearest service
station and fill to the correct pressure.
Do not forget to reinstall the tire infla-
tion valve cap as dirt and moisture
could get into the valve core and
possibly cause air leakage. If the cap
is missing, have a new one put on as
soon as possible.
11. Restow all the tools and jack se-
curely.
As soon after changing wheels as
possible, tighten the wheel nuts to the
torque specified on page 316 in Sec-
tion 8 with a torque wrench. Have a
technician repair the flat tire.
Initial adjustment of the tire pres-
sure warning system is necessary
after you have replaced your tires
or wheels. See "Tire pressure
warning system" on page 131 in
Section 1- 7.

CAUTION
Before driving, make sure all the
tools and jack are securely in

al injury during a collision or
sudden braking.

If your vehicle becomes stuck

If your vehicle becomes stuck in snow,
mud, sand, etc., then you may attempt
to rock the vehicle free by moving it
forward and backward.
Two- wheel drive models with traction
control system—Turn off the traction
control system to become unstuck to
allow the tires to spin enough to re-
move the vehicle from the obstruction.
(For details, see "Traction control sys-
tem (two- wheel drive models)" on page
126 in Section 1- 7.)
CAUTION
Do not attempt to rock the vehicle
free by moving it forward and back-
ward if people or objects are any-
where near the vehicle. During the
rocking operation the vehicle may
suddenly move forward or backward
as it becomes unstuck, causing injury
or damage to nearby people or ob-
jects.
