If Your Engine Stalls While Driving; If You Cannot Increase Engine Speed - Toyota land cruiser prado Owner's Manual

If the first start attempt is not success-
ful...
Check that the clamp on the jumper
cables are tight. Recharge the discharged
battery with the jumper cables connected
for several minutes and restart your en-
gine in the normal way.
If the another attempt is not successful,
the battery may be depleted. Have it ch-
ecked at your Toyota dealer.
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 engine switch 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 266 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 vehicle
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 engine switch is turned to "ACC" or
"LOCK" position.
CAUTION
Be especially careful to prevent erro-
neous pedal operation.
