Shift Lever
Similar to many Toyota vehicles, the AVALON Hybrid uses a gated shift
lever as shown in the illustration. However, the AVALON Hybrid shift lever
includes an S position for 6 levels of engine braking.
Towing
The AVALON Hybrid is a front wheel drive vehicle and it must be towed
with the front wheels off the ground. Failure to do so may cause serious
damage to Hybrid Synergy Drive components.
•
A flat bed trailer is the preferred method of towing.
•
The vehicle may be shifted out of Park into Neutral by turning the
ignition-on, depressing the brake, then moving the gated shift lever to N.
•
If the shift lever cannot be moved out of Park, a shift lock release button
is provided under the cover near the shift lever as shown in the illustration.
•
If a tow truck is not available, in an emergency the vehicle may be moved
for short distance at low speeds (below 18 mph (30km/h)).
