5-2. Steps to take in an emergency
If the vehicle becomes stuck
nEmergency hook
Carry out the following procedures if the tires spin or the vehicle
becomes stuck in mud, dirt, or snow.
Stop the engine. Set the parking brake and put the shift
lever in P (vehicles with an automatic transmission) or N
(vehicles with a manual transmission).
Remove the mud, snow, or sand from around the stuck tire.
Place wood, stones or some other material to help provide
traction under the tires.
Restart the engine.
Shift the shift lever to D or R  (automatic transmission) or 1
or R (manual transmission) and carefully apply the acceler-
ator to free the vehicle.
When your vehicle becomes stuck and
cannot move, the emergency hook is
used for another vehicle to pull your vehi-
cle out in an emergency. 
Your vehicle is not designed to tow
another vehicle.
Do not use the left rear hook. It is not
designed for towing.

CAUTION
nWhen attempting to free a stuck vehicle
If you choose to rock the vehicle back and forth to free it, make sure the sur-
rounding area is clear, to avoid striki ng other vehicles, objects or persons.
The vehicle may also lunge forward or lunge back suddenly as it becomes
free. Use extreme caution.
n When shifting the shift lever
Vehicles with 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
nTo avoid damaging the transmission and other components
lAvoid spinning the wheels and do not rev the engine.
l If the vehicle remains stuck after trying these procedures, the vehicle may
require towing to be freed.

n Vehicle identification number
The vehicle identificati on number (VIN) is the legal identifier for your
vehicle. This is the primary identification number for your Toyota. It is
used in registering the ownership of your vehicle.
This number is stamped on the
top left of the instrument panel. 
This number is also on the Certi-
fication Label.
n Engine number
The engine number is stamped on the engine bl ock as shown.

Lubrication system
*: 5W-30 is an oil that provides  optimal levels of fuel efficiency.
Oil viscosity
l The 5W portion of the oil viscosity rating indicates the characteristic
of the oil which allows cold startab ility. Oils with a lower value before
the W allow for easier starting of the engine in cold weather.
l The 30 in 5W-30 indicates the oil viscosity when the oil is at its oper-
ating temperature. An oil with a higher viscosity may be better suited
if the vehicle is operated at high  speeds, or under extreme load con-
dition.

Fuel information
nFuel tank opening fo r unleaded gasoline
To help prevent incorrect fueling, your Toyota has a fuel tank opening that
only accommodates the special nozzle on unleaded fuel pumps.
n If your engine knocks
lConsult your Toyota dealer.
l You may occasionally notice light knocking for a short time while acceler-
ating or driving uphill. This is normal and there is no need for concern.
n Gasoline quality
In very few cases, driveability problems may be caused by the brand of gas-
oline you are using. If driveability problems persist, try changing the brand of
gasoline. If this does not correct the problem, consult your Toyota dealer.
n Gasoline quality standards
lAutomotive manufacturers in the US, Europe and Japan have developed
a specification for fuel quality called World-Wide Fuel Charter (WWFC)
that is expected to be applied worldwide.
l The WWFC consists of four categories that are based on required emis-
sion levels. In the US, category 4 has been adopted.
l The WWFC improves air quality by lowering emissions in vehicle fleets,
and customer satisfaction through better performance.
Your vehicle must use only unleaded gasoline.
Unleaded gasoline with an octane  rating of 87 (Research Octane
Number 91) or higher.
At minimum, the gasoline you us e should meet the specifications
of ASTM D4814 in the U.S.A. and CGSB3.5-M93 in Canada.
