WARNING
■Replacing light bulbs
●Tur n o ff t h e li g ht s. D o n o t at t e mp t t o replace the bulb immediately after
turning off the lights. The bulbs become very hot and may cause burns.
●Do not touch the glass portion of the light bulb with bare hands.
When it is unavoidable to hold the glass portion, use and hold with a clean dry cloth to avoid getting
moisture and oils on the bulb. Also, if the bulb is scratched or dropped, it may blow out or crack.
●Fully install light bulbs and any parts used to secure them. Failure
to do so may result in heat damage, fire, or water entering the light unit. This may damage the lights or
cause condensation to build up on the lens.
●Do not attempt to repair or disas-semble light bulbs, connectors, electric circuits or component parts.
Doing so may result in death or serious injury due to electric shock.
■To prevent damage or fire
●Make sure bulbs are fully seated and locked.
●Check the wattage of the bulb before installing to prevent heat
damage.

7-1. Essential information
When trouble arises
Vehicles with smart entry & start
system
Press and hold the engine switch for 2
consecutive seconds or more, or press
it briefly 3 times or more in succession.
5 Stop the vehicle in a safe place
by the road.
If the door can be opened, open
the door and exit the vehicle.
If the door can not be opened,
open the window using the
power window switch and ensure
an escape route.
If the window can be opened,
exit the vehicle through the win-
dow.
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
WARNING
■If the engine has to be turned off while driving
●Power assist for the brakes and
steering wheel will be lost, making the brake pedal harder to depress and the steering wheel heavier to
turn. Decelerate as much as possi- ble before turning off the engine.
●Vehicles without smart entry & start system: Never attempt to remove the key, as doing so will lock the
steering wheel.
If the vehicle is sub-
merged or water on the
road is rising
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
dangerous to remain in the
vehicle, if it anticipated that the
vehicle will be flooded or set a
drift. Remain calm and follow
the following.

7-2. Steps to take in an emergency
When using a flat-bed truck to
transport the vehicle, use tire strap-
ping belts. Refer to the owner’s
manual of the flat-bed truck for the
tire strapping method.
In order to suppress vehicle move-
ment during transportation, set the
parking brake and turn the engine
switch off.
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 eyelets. 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, drivetrain, axles,
steering and brakes must be in
good condition.
For vehicles with Multidrive, only
the front towing eyelets may be
used.
To have your vehicle towed by
another vehicle, the towing eyelet
must be installed to your vehicle.
Install the towing eyelet using the
following procedure.
WARNING
■When towing the vehicle
Be sure to transport the vehicle with
the front wheels raised or with all four wheels raised off the ground. If the vehicle is towed with the front wheels
contacting the ground, the drivetrain and related parts may be damaged.
NOTICE
■To prevent damage to the vehicle
when towing using a wheel-lift type truck
●Do not tow the vehicle from the rear
when the engine switch is off. The steering lock mechanism is not strong enough to hold the front
wheels straight.
●When raising the vehicle, ensure adequate ground clearance for tow-ing at the opposite end of the raised
vehicle. Without adequate clear- ance, the vehicle could be dam-aged while being towed.
■Towing with a sling-type truck
Do not tow with a sling-type truck to
prevent body damage.
