AVALON_U (OM41428U)

If your vehicle has to be stopped in an emergency

Only in an emergency, such as if it becomes impossible to stop the

vehicle in the normal way, stop the vehicle using the following pro-

cedure:

Steadily step on the brake pedal with both feet and firmly
depress it.

Do not pump the brake pedal repeatedly as this will increase the
effort required to slow the vehicle.

Shift the shift lever to N.

If the shift lever is shifted to N

After slowing down, stop the vehicle in a safe place by the
road.

Stop the engine.

If the shift lever cannot be shifted to N

Keep depressing the brake pedal with both feet to reduce
vehicle speed as much as possible.

Vehicles without a smart key
system: Stop the engine by
turning the engine switch to
the “ACC” position.
