8-2. Steps to take in an emergency
WARNING
When attempting to free a stuck vehicle
■
If you choose to push the vehicle back and forth to free it, make sure the
surrounding 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 lever
■
For vehicles with an automatic transmission, be careful not to shift the shift
lever with the accelerator pedal depressed.
This may lead to unexpected rapid acceleration of the vehicle that may
cause an accident and result in death or serious injury.
NOTICE
■ 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.
Vehicles with the multi-information display type A: When the automatic
●
transmission fluid temperature warning light comes on while attempting to
free a stuck vehicle, immediately remove your foot from the accelerator
pedal and wait until the warning light turns off. Otherwise, the transmission
may become damaged. (P. 731)
● Vehicles with the multi-information display type B: When a warning mes-
sage for the automatic transmission fluid temperature is displayed while
attempting to free a stuck vehicle, immediately remove your foot from the
accelerator pedal and wait until the warning message disappears. Other-
wise, the transmission may become damaged. (P. 744)
