It can soak through clothing on to your skin. Immediately take off the cloth-
ing and follow the procedure above if necessary.

beaten raw egg or vegetable oil. Get emergency medical attention immedi-
ately.
When replacing the 12-volt battery
Use a 12-volt battery designed for the AURIS HYBRID. Failure to do so may
cause gas (hydrogen) to enter the passenger compartment, causing a fire or
explosion.
For replacement of the 12-volt battery, contact any authorized Toyota dealer
or repairer, or another duly qualified professional.
NOTICE

Starting the hybrid system when the 12-volt battery is discharged
The hybrid system cannot be started by push-starting.
Avoiding a discharged 12-volt battery
Turn off the headlights and the audio system while the hybrid system is
turned off.
Turn off any unnecessary electrical components when the vehicle is run-
ning at a low speed for an extended period, such as in heavy traffic, etc.
When the 12-volt battery is removed or discharged
If the 12-volt battery is depleted with the shift position in P, it will not be
possible to shift out of P. In this case, the vehicle cannot be towed without
lifting both front wheels because the front wheels are locked by the park-
ing lock. (P. 423)
The hybrid system may not start. (P. 384)
Charging the 12-volt battery
The electricity stored in the 12-volt battery will discharge gradually even
when the vehicle is not in use, due to natural discharge and the draining
effects of certain electrical appliances. If the vehicle is left for a long time, the
12-volt battery may discharge, and the hybrid system may be unable to start.
(The 12-volt battery recharges automatically while the hybrid system is oper-
ating.)
Once the hybrid system has started, remove the jumper
cables in the exact reverse order in which they were con-
nected.
Close the exclusive jump starting terminal cover and rein-
stall the fuse box cover.
Once the hybrid system starts, have the vehicle checked at any
authorized Toyota dealer or repairer, or another duly qualified and
equipped professional, as soon as possible.STEP7

battery to emit a malodorous gas, which may be detrimental to the health of
passengers.
