After Changing Wheels; If Your Vehicle Becomes Stuck - Toyota AURION Owner's Manual

—After changing wheels

11. Check the air pressure of the replaced
tyre.
Adjust the air pressure to the specification
designated on page 283 in Section 8. If the
pressure is lower, drive slowly to the nearest
service station and fill to the correct pres-
sure.
Do not forget to reinstall the tyre inflation
valve cap as dirt and moisture could get into
the valve core and possibly cause air leak-
age. If the cap is missing, have a new one
put on as soon as possible.
12. Restow all the tools, jack and flat tyre
securely.
As soon after changing wheels as possible,
tighten the wheel nuts to the torque specified
on page 283 in Section 8 with a torque
wrench. Have a technician repair the flat tyre.
CAUTION
Before driving, make sure all the tools,
jack and flat tyre are securely in place
in their storage location to reduce the
possibility of personal injury during a
collision or sudden braking.
IN CASE OF AN EMERGENCY

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.
The traction control system can be
turned off to allow the tyres to spin
enough to remove the vehicle from the
obstruction. Contact your Toyota dealer
for detailed information.
CAUTION
Do not attempt to rock the vehicle free
by moving it forward and backward if
people or objects are anywhere 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 peo-
ple or objects.
NOTICE
If you rock your vehicle, observe the fol-
lowing precautions to prevent damage
to the transmission and other parts:
Do not depress the accelerator pedal
D
while shifting the selector lever or be-
fore the transmission is completely
shifted to forward or reverse gear.
Do not race the engine and avoid spin-
D
ning the wheels.
If your vehicle remains stuck after
D
rocking the vehicle several times,
consider other ways such as towing.
