erate, the steering wheel feels heavy when turning it.Emergency starting
E00800503920
If the Plug-in Hybrid EV system cannot be
started because the auxiliary battery is weak or dead, the battery from another vehicle can
be used with jumper cables to start the Plugin
Hybrid EV system.
WARNINGl To start the Plug-in Hybrid EV system us-
ing jumper cables from another vehicle
and perform the correct procedures ac-
cording to the instruction below. Incor- rect procedures could result in a fire, ex-
plosion, electric shock or damage to the
vehicles.
l Keep sparks, cigarettes and flames away
from the battery because the battery may
produce an explosion.CAUTIONl The Plug-in Hybrid EV system cannot be
started by pulling or pushing the vehicle.CAUTIONl Check the other vehicle. It must have a 12-
volt battery. If the other system isn’t 12-volt,shorting can damage both vehicles.
l Use the proper cables suitable for the battery
size to prevent overheating of the cables.
l Check the jumper cables for damage and
corrosion before use.
l Always wear protective eye goggles when
working near the battery.
l Keep the battery out of the reach of children.
l Do not attempt jump starting the auxiliary
battery while the drive battery is being charged. Doing so could damage the charg-
ing equipment or the vehicle.NOTEl If the auxiliary battery is disconnected, the
operation mode of the power switch is mem-
orized. When a booster battery is connected
by jumper cables, the operation mode re- turns to the state before the auxiliary battery
ran down.

eration mode before the auxiliary battery
was fully discharged.
l If the auxiliary battery is fully discharged

position, the select position cannot be changed to other position from the “P”
(PARK) position in some cases. In such a case, the front wheels have been locked.
Therefore, the vehicle cannot be moved.
