• Do not use the clutch to hold the vehicle when stopping on an
uphill grade.
Doing so may damage the
clutch.
• When stopping the vehicle with the shift lever in a position other
than N, make sure to fully
depress the clutch pedal and
stop the vehicle using the
brakes.
●Do not shift the shift lever to R
without the vehicle completely
stopped.
Doing so may damage the
clutch, transmission and gears.
●Do not release the clutch pedal
too quickly. Doing so may dam-
age the transmission.
■When parking the vehicle
(vehicles with an automatic
transmission)
Always set the parking brake and

3106-3. Do-it-yourself maintenance
■Checking battery fluid
Check that the level is between
the “UPPER LEVEL” and
“LOWER LEVEL” lines.
“UPPER LEVEL” line
“LOWER LEVEL” line
If the fluid level is at or below the
“LOWER LEVEL” line, add distilled
water.
■Adding distilled water
1 Remove the vent plug.
2 Add distilled water.
If the “UPPER LEVEL ” line cannot
be seen, check the fluid level by
looking directly at the cell.
3 Put the vent plug back on
and close it securely.
■Before recharging
When recharging, t he battery pro-
duces hydrogen ga s which is flam-
mable and explosive. Therefore, observe the following before
recharging:
●If recharging with the battery
installed on the vehicle, be sure to
disconnect the ground cable.
●Make sure the power switch on
the charger is off when connecting
and disconnecting the charger
cables to the battery.
■After recharging/reconnecting
the battery
The engine may not start. Follow the
procedure below to initialize the sys-
tem.
1 Shift the shift lever to P (auto-
matic transmission) or depress
the brake pedal with the shift
lever in N (manual transmission).
2 Open and close either door.
3 Restart the engine.
●Unlocking the doors using the
smart key system may not be pos-
sible immediately after reconnect-
ing the battery. If this happens,
use the wireless remote control or
the mechanical key to lock/unlock
the doors.
●Start the engine with the engine
switch in ACC. T he engine may
not start with th e engine switch
turned off. However, the engine
will operate normally from the sec-
ond attempt.
●The engine switch mode is
recorded by the vehicle. If the bat-
tery is disconnected and recon-
nected, the vehi cle will return the
engine switch mode to the status it
was in before the battery was dis-
connected. Make sure to turn off
the engine before disconnecting
the battery. Take extra care when
connecting the battery if the
engine switch mode prior to the

unknown.
If the system will not start even after
multiple attempts, contact your Toy-
ota dealer.
