8-2. Steps to take in an emergency
When trouble arises
order from which they were con-
nected.
10 Close the positive (+) battery
terminal cover.
Once the EV system starts, have
the vehicle inspected at any autho-
rized Toyota retailer or Toyota
authorized repairer, or any reliable
repairer as soon as possible.
■Starting the EV system when the 12-volt battery is discharged
The EV system cannot be started by push-starting.
■To prevent 12-volt battery dis-charge
●Turn off the headlights, the air condi-tioning system, the audio system, etc.
while the EV system is off.
●Turn off any unnecessary electrical
components when the vehicle is run- ning at a low speed for an extended period, such as in heavy traffic.
■Charging the 12-volt battery
The electricity stored in the 12-volt bat- tery will discharge gradually even when the vehicle is not in use, due to natural
discharge and the draining effects of certain electrical appliances. If the vehi-cle is left for a long time, the 12-volt bat-
tery may discharge, and the EV system may be unable to start. (The 12-volt bat-tery recharges automatically while the
EV system is operating.)
■When the 12-volt battery is removed or discharged
●Information stored in the ECU is cleared. When the 12-volt battery is depleted, have the vehicle inspected
at any authorized Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or any reli-able repairer.
●In some cases, it may not be possible to unlock the doors using the smart
entry & start system when the 12-volt
battery is discharged. Use the wire-
less remote control or the mechanical key to lock or unlock the doors.
●The EV system may not start on the first attempt after the 12-volt battery has recharged but will start normally
after the second attempt. This is not a malfunction.
●The power switch mode is memorized by the vehicle. When the 12-volt bat-tery is reconnected, the system will
return to the mode it was in before the 12-volt battery was discharged. Before disconnecting the 12-volt bat-
tery, turn the power switch off. If you are unsure what mode the power switch was in before the 12-volt
battery discharged, be especially careful when reconnecting the 12-volt battery.
●If the 12-volt battery discharges, it may not be possible to shift the shift
position to other positions. In this case, the vehicle cannot be towed without lifting both front wheels
because the front wheels will be locked.
●The power back door (if equipped) must be initialized. ( P.198)
■When replacing the 12-volt battery
●Use a 12-volt battery that conforms to European regulations.
●Use a 12-volt battery that the case size is same as the previous one (LN1), 20 hour rate capacity (20HR) is
equivalent (45Ah) or greater, and per- formance rating (CCA) is equivalent (286A) or greater.
• If the sizes differ, the 12-volt battery cannot be properly secured.• If an improper 12-volt battery is used,
battery performance may decrease and the EV system may not be able to restart.
• 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 12-
volt battery may discharge and EV system may not be able to start.

down, 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 retailer or Toyota authorized
repairer, or any reliable repairer.
If your vehicle overheats
When “EV System overheated
Output power reduced” is
shown on the multi-informa-
tion display, your vehicle may
be overheating.
NOTICE
■Cooling system coolant
The radiator coolant is exclusive for radiator usage. Damage may occur when water or any other type of cool-
ant is used, so never use any other fluid. When there is no “Toyota Genu-ine Traction Battery Coolant”, immedi-
ately contact any authorized Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or any reliable repairer.
