RAIZE_OM_General_BZ358E
⬛When your battery is discharged/removed (vehicles with key-free system)
⚫You may not be able to unlock the vehicle doors using the key-free system
immediately after battery discharge. In such cases, lock and unlock the
doors using the wireless remote control or emergency key.
⚫The vehicle engine may not start on the first try after battery discharge. This
is to be expected, and the engine will start properly on the second try
onward.
⚫The vehicle consistently keeps track of its engine switch mode. Even after a
discharged battery is removed, the en gine mode returns to the state before
removing the battery. Please remove the battery after turning the engine
switch “OFF”.
If you are not sure of the engine swit ch mode prior to battery discharge, be
especially careful when connecting the battery.
WARNING
⬛Avoiding battery fires or explosions
Observe the following precautions to prev ent the fire and sparks to be gener-
ated as these may ignite the flammab le gas emitted from the battery of the
second vehicle and cause an explosion:
⚫Make sure each jumper cable is connec ted to the correct terminal and that it
is not unintentionally in contact with any other than the intended terminal.
⚫Do not allow the other end of the jump er cable connected to the “+” terminal
to come into contact with any other pa rts 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.
⚫Do not smoke, use matches, cigarette li ghters or allow open flame near the
battery
⚫Do not use or charge the battery when the battery level is lower than the
LOWER LEVEL displayed on the side of the battery
⬛Battery precautions

When trouble arises

eAdd coolant if necessary
Water can be used in an emergency if
coolant is unavailable.
fStart the engine and turn the air co nditioning system on to check that
the radiator cooling fan operates and to check again for coolant leaks
from the radiator core or hoses
The fan operates when the air conditioning system is turned on immediately after a
cold start. Confirm that the fan is operat ing by checking the fan sound and air flow.
If it is difficult to check them, turn the air conditioning system ON and OFF repeat-
edly.
(The fan may not operate in freezing temperatures)
g If the fan is not operating:
Stop the engine immediately and contact your Toyota dealer
If the fan is operating:
Have the vehicle inspected at the nearest Toyota dealer
WARNING
⬛Before taking measures
Do not remove the radiator cap if the coolant is hot. The radiator cap is under
the pressure of the coolant. Therefore, steam or hot water may spurt out of it,
causing serious injury such as burns.
⬛To prevent an accident or injury when inspecting under the hood of your
vehicle
Observe the following precautions.
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 subsided. The engine compartment may be very hot.
⚫Keep hands and clothing (especially a tie, a scarf or a muffler) away from the
fan and belts. Failure to do so may caus e the hands or clothing to be caught,
resulting in serious injury.
⚫Do not loosen the radiator cap an d the coolant reservoir cap while the
engine and radiator are hot. High te mperature steam or coolant could spray
out.
