5127-2. Steps to take in an emergency
4RUNNER (U)
■Starting the engine when t he battery is discharged 
The engine cannot be started by push-starting.
■ To prevent battery discharge
●Turn off the headlights and the audio system while the engine is 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 .
■ 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 t ime, the battery may
discharge,  and  the  engine  may  be  unable  to  start.  (The  battery  recharges
automatically during driving.)
■ When recharging or replacing the battery
●Vehicles with a smart key system: In some cases, it may not be  possible to
unlock  the  doors  using  the  smart  key  system  when  the  battery  is dis-
charged.  Use  the  wireless  remote  control  or  the  mechanical  key  to  lock  or
unlock the doors.
● 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 a smart key system: The engine switch mode is memorized by
the  vehicle.  When  the  battery  is  reconnected,  the  system  will  r eturn  to  the
mode it was in before the battery was discharged. Before disconnecting the
battery, turn the engine switch off.
If you are unsure what mode the engine switch was in before the  battery dis-
charged, be especially careful when reconnecting the battery.
● Make sure that the key is not inside the vehicle when rechargin g or replac-
ing  the  battery.  The  key  may  be  locked  in  the  vehicle  if  the  al arm  is  acti-
vated. ( P. 80)

as  a  garage,  exhaust  gases  including  harmful  carbon  monoxide  (CO)  may
collect  and  enter  the  vehicle.  This  may  lead  to  death  or  a  seri ous  health
hazard.
NOTICE
■ During customization
To  prevent  battery  discharge,  ensure  that  the  engine  is  running  while cus-
tomizing features.
