When trouble arises
6Open and close any of the
doors of your vehicle with the
power switch OFF.
7 Maintain the engine speed of
the second vehicle and start
the hybrid system of your
vehicle by turning the power
switch to ON.
8 Make sure the “READY” indi-
cator comes on. If the indica-
tor does not come on, contact
your Toyota dealer.
9 Once the hybrid system has
started, remove the jumper
cables in the exact reverse
order from which they were
connected.
10 Close the exclusive jump
starting terminal cover and
install the fuse box cover to
its original position.
Once the hybrid system starts,
have the vehicle inspected at
your Toyota dealer as soon as
possible.
■Starting the hybrid system
when the 12-volt battery is dis-
charged
The hybrid system cannot be started
by push-starting.
■To prevent 12-volt battery dis-
charge
●Turn off the headlights and the
audio system while the hybrid sys-
tem is off.
●Turn off any unnecessary electri-
cal components when the vehicle
is running at a low speed for an
extended period, such as in heavy
traffic.
■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 your Toyota dealer.
●Some systems may require initial-
ization. ( P.473)
■When removing the 12-volt bat-
tery terminals
When the 12-volt battery terminals
are removed, the information stored
in the ECU is cleared. Before
removing the 12-vo lt battery termi-
nals, contact you r Toyota dealer.
■Charging the 12-volt battery
The electricity stored in the 12-volt
battery will discha rge gradually even
when the vehicle i s not in use, due
to natural dischar ge and the drain-
ing effects of certain electrical appli-
ances. If the vehicle is left for a long
time, the 12-volt battery may dis-
charge, and the hybrid system may
be unable to start. (The 12-volt bat-
tery recharges automatically while
the hybrid system is operating.)
■When recharging or replacing
the 12-volt battery
●In some cases, it may not be pos-
sible to unlock the doors using the
smart key system when the
12-volt battery is discharged. Use
the wireless remote control or the
mechanical key to lock or unlock
the doors.
●The hybrid syste m 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 memo-
rized by the vehicle. When the
12-volt battery is reconnected, the
system will return to the mode it
was in before the 12-volt battery
was discharged. Before discon-
necting the 12-volt battery, turn
the power switch off.
If you are unsure what mode the
Page 436 of 516
4367-2. Steps to take in an emergency
power switch was in before the
12-volt battery discharged, be
especially careful when recon-
necting the 12-volt battery.
●Vehicles with power back door:
The power back door must be ini-
tialized. (P.125)
■When replacing the 12-volt bat-
tery
●Use a 12-volt battery that con-
forms to European regulations.
●Use a battery that the case size is
same as the previous one (LN1),
20 hour rate capacity (20HR) is
equivalent (45Ah) or greater, and
performance rating (CCA) is
equivalent (286A) or greater.
• If the sizes differ, the 12-volt bat- tery cannot be properly secured.
• If the 20 hour rate capacity is low,
even if the time period where the
vehicle is not used is a short time,
the 12-volt battery may discharge
and the hybrid system may not be
able to start.
●Use a 12-volt battery with a han-
dle. If a 12-volt b attery without a
handle is used, removal is more
difficult.
●After replacing, firmly attach the
following items to the exhaust hole
of the 12-volt battery.
• Use the exhaust hose that was attached to the 12-volt battery
before replacing an d confirm that
it is firmly connected to the hole
section of t he vehicle.
• Use the exhaust hole plug
included with the 12-volt battery
replaced or the one installed on
the 12-volt battery prior to the
replacement. (Depending on the
12-volt battery to be replaced, the
exhaust hole may be plugged.) Exhaust hole

ult your Toyota
dealer.
WARNING
■When removing the 12-volt
battery terminals
Always remove the negative (-)
terminal first. If the positive (+) ter-
minal contacts any metal in the
surrounding area when the posi-
tive (+) terminal is removed, a
spark may occur, leading to a fire
in addition to ele ctrical shocks
and death or serious injury.
■Avoiding 12-volt battery fires
or explosions
Observe the following precautions
to prevent accidentally igniting the
flammable gas that may be emit-
ted from the 12-volt battery:
●Make sure each jumper cable is
connected to the correct termi-
nal and that it is not unintention-
ally in contact with any other
than the intended terminal.
●Do not allow the other end of
the jumper cable connected to
the “+” terminal to come into
contact with any other parts or
metal surfaces in the area, such
as brackets or unpainted metal.
●Do not allow the + and - clamps
of the jumper cables to come
into contact with each other.

When trouble arises
WARNING
●Do not smoke, use matches,
cigarette lighters or allow open
flame near the 12-volt battery.
■12-volt battery precautions
The 12-volt battery contains poi-
sonous and corrosi ve acidic elec-
trolyte, while related parts contain
lead and lead compounds.
Observe the following precautions
when handling the 12-volt battery:
●When working with the 12-volt
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 12-volt bat-
tery.
●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 12-volt battery sup-
port, terminals, and other bat-
tery-related parts.
●Do not allow child ren near the
12-volt battery.
■After recharging the 12-volt
battery
Have the 12-volt battery
inspected at your Toyota dealer
as soon as possible.
If the 12-volt battery is deteriorat-
ing, continued use may cause the
12-volt battery to emit a malodor-
ous gas, which may be detrimen-
tal to the health of passengers.
■When replacing the 12-volt
battery
●When the vent plug are close to
the hold down clamp, the bat-
tery fluid (sulfuric acid) may
leak.
●For information regarding
12-volt battery replacement,
contact your Toyota dealer.
●After replacing, s ecurely attach
the exhaust hose and exhaust
hole plug to the exhaust hole of
the replaced 12-volt battery. If
not properly installed, gases
(hydrogen) may leak into the
vehicle interior, and there is the
possible danger of the gas ignit-
ing and exploding.
NOTICE
■When handling jumper cables
When connecting the jumper
cables, ensure that they do not
become entangled in the cooling
fans, etc.
■When connecting jumper
cables
Make sure to connect jumper
cables to the specified terminals
and connecting point. Failure to
do so may adversely affect the
electronic devices or damage to
them.
■To prevent damaging the
vehicle
The exclusive jump starting termi-
nal is to be used when charging
the 12-volt battery from another
vehicle in an emergency. It cannot
be used to jump start another
vehicle.

WARNING
■When inspecting under the
hood of your vehicle
Observe the following precau-
tions. Failure to do so may result
in serious injury such as burns.
●If steam is seen coming from
under the hood, do not open the
hood until the steam has sub-
sided. The engine compart-
ment may be very hot.
●After the hybrid system has
been turned off , check that the
“READY” indicator is off. When
the hybrid system is operating,
the gasoline engine may auto-
matically start, or the cooling
fans may suddenly operate
even if the gasoline engine
stops. Do not touch or approach
rotating parts such as the fan,
which may lead to fingers or
clothing (especially a tie, a scarf
or a muffler) getting caught,
resulting in serious injury.
●Do not loosen the coolant reser-
voir caps while the hybrid sys-
tem and radiator are hot.
High temperature steam or
coolant could spray out.
NOTICE
■When adding engine/power
control unit coolant
Add coolant slowly after the
hybrid system has cooled down
sufficiently. Adding cool coolant to
a hot hybrid system too quickly
can cause damage to the hybrid
system.
■To prevent damage to the
cooling system
Observe the following precau-
tions:
●Avoid contaminating the coolant
with foreign matter (such as
sand or dust etc.).
●Do not use any coolant additive.
