5-2. Steps to take in an emergency
If the vehicle becomes stuck
■When changing the shift position
Depress the brake pedal and ensure that the vehicle has stopped completely
before changing the shift position. Failure to do so could cause the rejection func-
tion to be activated, canceling the shift po sition change, or causing the shift position
to change to N automatically.
CAUTION
■When attempting to free a stuck vehicle
If you choose to rock the vehicle back and forth to free it, make sure the surround-
ing area is clear to avoid striking other vehicles, objects or people. The vehicle may
also lunge forward or lunge back sudden ly as it becomes free. Use extreme cau-
tion.
■When shifting the shift lever
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 resulting in death or serious injury.
Carry out the following procedures if the tires spin or the vehicle becomes
stuck in mud, dirt or snow:
Apply the parking brak e, change the shift position to P and
stop the hybrid system.
Remove the mud, snow or sand from around the stuck tire.
Place wood, stones or some other material under the tires to
help provide traction.
Restart the hybrid system.
Make sure to change the shift position to D or R, release the
parking brake, and then care fully depress the accelerator
pedal.
Turn off the TRAC and VSC systems if these functions are hamper-
ing your attempts to free the vehicle. (  P. 2 3 0 )
