When trouble arises
If the vehicle is submerged or water on the
road is rising
O If the door can be opened, open the door and exit the vehicle.
O If the door can not be opened, open the window using the power
window switch and ensure an escape route.
O If the window can be opened, exit the vehicle through the window.
O If the door and window cannot be opened due to the rising water,
remain calm, wait until the water level inside the vehicle rises to the
point that the water pressure inside of the vehicle equals the water
pressure outside of the vehicle and then open the door after waiting
for the rising water to enter the vehicle, and exit the vehicle. When
the outside water level exceeds half the height of the door, the door
cannot be opened from the inside due to water pressure.
Q Water level exceeds the floor
When the water level exceeds the floor and time has passed, the electrical
equipment will get damaged, the power windows will not operate, the engine
stop, and the vehicle may not be able to get moving.
Q Using an emergency escape hammer*
Laminated glass is used in the windshield on this vehicle.
Laminated glass cannot be shattered with an emergency hammer*.
Tempered glass is used in the windows on this vehicle.
*: Contact any authorized Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or any
reliable repairer or aftermarket access ory manufacturer for further informa-
tion about an emergency hammer.
This vehicle is not designed to be able to drive on roads that are
deeply flooded with water. Do not drive on roads where the
roads may be submerged or the water may be rising. It is dan-
gerous to remain in the vehicle, if it anticipated that the vehicle
will be flooded or set a drift. Remain calm and follow the follow-
ing.

When trouble arises
If a tow truck is not available in an emergency, your vehicle may be
temporarily towed using cables or chains secured to the emergency
towing hooks. This should only be attempted on hard surfaced roads
for at most 80 km (50 miles) at under 30 km/h (18 mph).
A driver must be in the vehicle to steer and operate the brakes. The
vehicle’s wheels, drive train, axles, steering and brakes must be in
good condition.
Securely attach cables or
chains to the towing hooks.
Take care not to damage the vehi-
cle body.
Enter the vehicle being towed and start the engine.
If the engine does not start, turn the engine switch to the “ON” position
(vehicles without smart entry & start system) or IGNITION ON mode (vehi-
cles with smart entry & start system).
Vehicles with Stop & Start system:
Before towing the vehicle, turn the engine switch to the “LOCK” position
(vehicles without smart entry & start system) or off (vehicles with smart
entry & start system) once, and then start the engine.

truck
O Do not tow the vehicle from the rear when the engine switch is in the
“LOCK” position or the key is removed (vehicles without smart entry & start
system) or the engine switch is turned to off (vehicles with smart entry &

equipped)
If it is necessary to tow the vehicle with all 4 wheels on the ground, perform
the following procedure before towing the vehicle, in order to protect the
system.
Turn the engine switch to the “LOCK” position (vehicles without smart entry
& start system) or off (vehicles with smart entry & start system) and then
