IN CASE OF EMERGENCY
326
When you cannot increase the
engine speed (engines 3ZZ-FE, 1ZZ-FE,
1AZ-FSE and 2AZ-FSE)
When the engine stops while driving
When the engine stops while driving...
If the engine speed does not increase even when the gas
pedal is depressed, there is probably a problem somewhere
in the electronic throttle control system.
1. Gradually reduce your speed and drive in a straight line.
Carefully pull off the road to a safe place.
Vibrations may occur at that point. However, if you press
harder and slower on the gas pedal, you can drive your
vehicle at a low speed. Have the vehicle checked by any
authorized Toyota dealer or service center, or another
properly qualified and equipped specialist, as soon as possible.
2. Turn on the hazard warning lights.
3. Gasoline engine –
Turn the ignition key to the "ACC" or "LOCK" position and
try to start the engine again.
If the engine cannot be started - see "When the vehicle
cannot be started" on page 320 in this chapter.
Even if the ab-normality in the electronic throttle control
system is cleared during slow driving, the system may not
return to normal until you stop the engine and turn the ignition
key to the "ACC" or "LOCK" position.
Diesel engine –
When you have enough fuel: Try to start the engine
again.
If the engine cannot be started - see "When the vehicle
cannot be started" on page 320 in this chapter.
WARNING
When the fuel tank is empty: Instructions for starting the
engine - see "(c) When you run out of fuel and the engine
dies" on page 322.
Be extra careful to avoid incorrect operation of the
accelerator pedal.
WARNING
If the engine is not running, the power brakes and
steering will not work, so braking and steering will be
much more difficult than usual.
