When trouble arises
■When the seal is damaged
The seal needs to replace by any aut horized Toyota dealer or repairer, or
another duly qualified and equipped professional.
If the trunk/luggage compartment has flooded with water when the seal has
been broken or is missing (for example, if the vehicle has been left outside in
the rain with the trunk lid open or removed), the parking brake system will
need to be replaced.
■ Manual operation of the parking brake
The parking brake cannot be set manually.
WARNING
■ When releasing the parking brake manually
XVehicles without smart entry & start system

the engine switch to “LOCK” position and chock the tires.
Failure to do so may cause the vehicle to move, resulting in an accident.
● Turn the engine switch to “LOCK” position and check that the parking
brake indicator is off.

brake release tool that is inserted, resulting in an injury.

Place wood, stones or some other material to help provide traction
under the tires.
Restart the engine.
Shift the shift lever to the D or R (Multidrive), or 1 or R (manual
transmission) and release the parking brake. Then, while exercising
caution, depress the accelerator pedal.

WARNING
■ When 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 striking other vehicles, objects or persons.
The vehicle may also lunge forward or lunge back suddenly as it becomes
free. Use extreme caution.

Vehicles with Multidrive: Be careful not to shift the shift lever with the accel-
erator pedal depressed.
This may lead to unexpected rapid acceleration of the vehicle that may
cause an accident and result in death or serious injury.
