XDiesel engine
Connect a positive jumper cable clamp to the positive (+) battery
terminal on your vehicle.
Connect the clamp on the other end of the positive cable to the pos-
itive (+) battery terminal on the second vehicle.
Connect a negative cable clamp to the negative (-) battery terminal
on the second vehicle.
Connect the clamp at the other end of the negative cable to a solid,
stationary, unpainted metallic point away from the battery and any
moving parts as shown in the illustration.
Start the engine of the second vehicle. Increase the engine speed
slightly and maintain at that level for approximately 5 minutes to
recharge the battery of your vehicle.
Vehicles with smart entry & start system only: Open and close any
of the doors of your vehicle with the engine switch off.
Maintain the engine speed of the second vehicle and start the
engine of your vehicle by turning the engine switch to the “ON”
position (vehicles without smart entry & start system) or IGNITION
ON mode (vehicles with smart entry & start system).
Once the vehicle’s engine has started, remove the jumper cables in
the exact reverse order in which they were connected.
Once the engine starts, have the vehicle inspected at any authorized
Toyota dealer or repairer, or another duly qualified and equipped pro-
fessional, as soon as possible.

When trouble arises
■Starting the engine when the battery is discharged (vehicles with Multid-
rive)
The engine cannot be started by push-starting.
■ To prevent battery discharge
●Turn off the headlights and the audio system while the engine is turned off.
● Turn off any unnecessary electrical components when the vehicle is running
at a low speed for an extended period, such as in heavy traffic, etc.
■ Charging the battery
The electricity stored in the battery will discharge gradually even when the
vehicle is not in use, due to natural discharge and the draining effects of cer-
tain electrical appliances. If the vehicle is left for a long time, the battery may
discharge, and the engine may be unable to start. (The battery recharges
automatically during driving.)
■ When the battery is removed or discharged
●Make sure that the key is not inside the vehicle when recharging or replac-
ing the battery. The key may be locked in the vehicle if the alarm is acti-
vated. ( →P. 90)
● Vehicles with smart entry & start system: In some cases, it may not be pos-
sible to unlock the doors using the smart entry & start system when the bat-
tery is discharged. Use the wireless remote control or the mechanical key to
lock or unlock the doors.
● Vehicles with smart entry & start system: The engine may not start on the
first attempt after the battery has recharged but will start normally after the
second attempt. This is not a malfunction.
● Vehicles with smart entry & start system: The engine switch mode is memo-
rized by the vehicle. When the battery is reconnected, the system will return
to the mode it was in before the battery was discharged. Before disconnect-
ing the battery, turn the engine switch off. If you are unsure what mode the
engine switch was in before the battery discharged, be especially careful
when reconnecting the battery.
● Vehicles with Stop & Start system:
After charging the battery or reconnecting the battery terminals, the Stop &
Start system may not automatically stop the engine for approximately 5 to
40 minutes.
■ When exchanging the battery
●Use a battery with the same case size as the previous battery and an equiv-
alent 20 hour rate capacity (20HR) or greater.
• If the sizes differ, the battery cannot be properly secured.
• If the 20 hour rate capacity is low, even if the time period where the vehi-
cle is not used is a short time, the battery may discharge and the engine
may not be able to start.

AVENSIS_OM_OM20C20E_(EE)●
Vehicles with Stop & Start system:
Use a battery specified for use with the Stop & Start system and an equiva-
lent battery. If an unsupported battery is used, Stop & Start system functions
may be restricted to protect the battery.
Also, battery performance may decrease and the engine may not be able to
restart. Contact any authorized Toyota dealer or repairer, or another duly
qualified and equipped professional for details.
WARNING
■ Avoiding battery fires or explosions
Observe the following precautions to prevent accidentally igniting the flam-
mable gas that may be emitted from the battery.
● Make sure each jumper cable is connected to the correct terminal and that
it is not unintentionally in contact with any part other than the intended ter-
minal.
● Do not allow the + and - clamps of the jumper cables to come into contact
with each other.
● Do not smoke, use matches, cigarette lighters or allow open flame near
the battery.
■ Battery precautions
The battery contains poisonous and corrosive acidic electrolyte, while
related parts contain lead and lead compounds. Observe the following pre-
cautions when handling the battery.
●When working with the battery, always wear safety glasses and take care
not to allow any battery fluids (acid) to come into contact with skin, clothing
or the vehicle body.
● Do not lean over the battery.
● In the event that battery fluid comes into contact with the skin or eyes,
immediately wash the affected area with water and seek medical attention.
Place a wet sponge or cloth over the affected area until medical attention
can be received.
● Always wash your hands after handling the battery support, terminals, and
other battery-related parts.
● Do not allow children near the battery.
■ To prevent damage to the vehicle (vehicles with manual transmission)
Do not pull- or push-start the vehicl e, because the catalytic converter may
overheat and become a fire hazard.

If your vehicle overheats
Stop the vehicle in a safe place and turn off the air conditioning sys-
tem, and then stop the engine.
If you see steam:
Carefully lift the hood after the steam subsides.
If you do not see steam:
Carefully lift the hood.
After the engine has cooled down sufficiently, inspect the hoses and
radiator core (radiator) for any leaks.Radiator
Cooling fan
If a large amount of coolant
leaks, immediately contact any
authorized Toyota dealer or
repairer, or another duly quali-
fied and equipped professional.
The coolant level is satisfactory if it is between the “FULL” and
“LOW ” lines on the reservoir.Reservoir
“FULL” line
“LOW ” line
The following may indicate that your vehicle is overheating.● The engine coolant temperature gauge ( →P. 104) enters the red
zone or a loss of power is experienced. (For example, the vehicle
speed does not increase.)
● Steam comes out from under the hood.

When trouble arises
Add coolant if necessary.
Water can be used in an emer-
gency if coolant is unavailable.
Start the engine and turn the air conditioning system on to check
that the radiator cooling fan operates and to check for coolant leaks
from the radiator or hoses.
The fan operates when the air conditioning system is turned on immedi-
ately after a cold start. Confirm that the fan is operating by checking the fan
sound and air flow. If it is difficult to check these, turn the air conditioning
system on and off repeatedly.
(The fan may not operate in freezing temperatures.)
If the fan is not operating:
Stop the engine immediately and contact any authorized Toyota
dealer or repairer, or another duly qualified and equipped profes-
sional.
If the fan is operating:
Have the vehicle inspected at the nearest authorized Toyota dealer
or repairer, or another duly qualified and equipped professional.

WARNING
■ To prevent an accident or injury when inspecting under the hood of
your vehicle
●If steam is seen coming from under the hood, do not open the hood until
the steam has subsided. The engine compartment may be very hot, caus-
ing serious injury such as burns.
● Keep hands and clothing (especially a tie, a scarf or a muffler) away from
the fan and belts. Failure to do so may cause the hands or clothing to be
caught, resulting in serious injury.
● Do not loosen the coolant reservoir cap while the engine and radiator are
hot.
Serious injury, such as burns, may result from hot coolant and steam
released under pressure.
