If You Cannot Increase Engine Speed; If Your Vehicle Overheats - Toyota Land Cruiser 2016 Owner's Manual

If you cannot increase engine
speed
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 in the electronic
engine control system is corrected during
low speed driving, the system may not
recover until the engine is stopped and
the ignition key is turned to the "ACC" or
"LOCK" position.
