3647-2. Steps to take in an emergency
1Stop the engine. Set the 
parking brake and shift the 
shift lever to P.
2 Remove the mud, snow or 
sand from around the front 
wheels.
3 Place wood, stones or some 
other material under the front 
wheels to help provide trac-
tion.
4 Restart the engine.
5 Shift the shift lever to D or R 
and release the parking 
brake. Then, while exercising 
caution, depress the acceler-
ator pedal.
■When it is difficult to free the 
vehicle
Press the   switch to turn off 
TRAC.
If  the vehicle becomes 
stuck
Carry out the following pro-
cedures if the tires spin or 
the vehicle becomes stuck 
in mud, dirt or snow:
Recovering procedure
WARNING
■When attempting to free a 
stuck vehicle
If you choose to push the vehicle 
back and forth to free it, make 
sure the surrounding area is clear 
to avoid striking other vehicles, 
objects or people. The vehicle 
may also lunge forward or lunge 
back suddenly as it becomes free. 
Use extreme caution.
■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 o r serious injury.
NOTICE
■To avoid damaging the trans-
mission and other compo-
nents
●Avoid spinning the front wheels 
and depressing the accelerator 
pedal more than necessary.
●If the vehicle remains stuck 
even after these procedures are 
performed, the vehicle may 
require towing to be freed.

This information has been pre-
pared in accordance with regu-
lations issued by the National 
Highway Traffic Safety Adminis-
tration of the U.S. Department of 
Transportation.
It provides the purchasers 
and/or prospective purchasers 
of Toyota vehicles with informa-
tion on uniform tire quality grad-
ing.
Your Toyota dealer will help answer 
any questions you may have as you 
read this information.
■DOT quality grades
All passenger vehicle tires must 
conform to Federal Safety 
Requirements in addition to 
these grades. Quality grades 
can be found where applicable 
on the tire sidewall between 
tread shoulder and maximum 
section width.
For example: Treadwear 200 Trac-
tion AA Temperature A
■Treadwear
The treadwear grade is a com-
parative rating based on the 
wear rate of the tire when tested 
under controlled conditions on a 
specified government test 
course.
For example, a tire graded 150

would wear one and a half (1 - 1/2) 
times as well on the government 
course as a tire graded 100.
The relative performance of tires 
depends upon the actual conditions 
of their use. Performance may differ 
significantly from the norm due to 
variations in driving habits, service 
practices and differences in road 
characteristics and climate.
■Traction AA, A, B, C
The traction grades, from high-
est to lowest, are AA, A, B and 
C, and they represent the tire’s 
ability to stop on wet pavement 
as measured under controlled 
conditions on specified govern-
ment test surfaces of asphalt 
and concrete.
A tire marked C  may have poor 
traction performance.
Warning: The traction grade 
assigned to this tire is based on 
braking (straight ahead) traction 
tests and does not include corner-
ing (turning) traction.
■Temperature A, B, C
The temperature grades are A  (the highest), B, and C, repre-
senting the tire’s resistance to 
the generation of heat and its 
ability to dissipate heat when 
tested under controlled condi-
tions on a specified indoor labo-
ratory test wheel.
Sustained high temperature can 
cause the material
 of the tire to 
degenerate and reduce tire life, and 
excessive temperature can lead to 
sudden tire failure.
Grade C corresponds to a level of 
performance which all passenger 
car tires must meet under the Fed-
eral Motor Vehicle Safety Standard 
No. 109.
Grades B and A represent higher 
levels of performance on the labo-
ratory test wheel than the minimum 
required by law.
Warning: The temperature grades 
of a tire assume tha t it is properly 
inflated and not overloaded.
Excessive speed, underinflation, or 
excessive loading, either sepa-
rately or in combination, can cause 
heat buildup and possible tire fail-
ure.
