■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
●The hybrid system may not start. ( →P. 301)
● The tire pressure warning system must be initialized. ( →P. 305)
■ Starting the hybrid system when the 12-volt battery is discharged
The hybrid system cannot be started by push-starting.
Start the engine of the second vehicle. Increase the gaso-
line engine speed slightly and maintain at that level for
approximately 5 minutes to recharge the 12-volt battery of
your vehicle.
Open and close any of the doors with the “POWER” switch
OFF.
Maintain the engine speed of the second vehicle and turn
the “POWER” switch to ON mode, then start the hybrid sys-
tem.
Make sure the “READY” indicator comes on. If the indicator
does not comes on, contact your Toyota dealer.
Once the hybrid system has started, remove the jumper

CAUTION
■
Avoiding 12-volt battery fires or explosions
Observe the following precautions to prevent accidentally igniting the flam-
mable gas that may be emitted from the 12-volt battery.
●Make sure each jumper cable is connected to the correct terminal.
● Do not allow the ends of the jumper cable used for the “+” terminals to
come into contact with any other parts or metal surface in the area, such
as brackets or unpainted metal.
● Do not allow the “+” and “-” terminals of the jumper cables to come into
contact with each other.
● Do not smoke, use matches, cigarette lighters or allow open flame near
the 12-volt battery.
■ 12-volt battery precautions
The 12-volt battery contains poisonous and corrosive acidic electrolyte,
while related parts contain lead and lead compounds. Observe the following
precautions when handling the 12-volt battery.
●When working with the 12-volt battery, always wear safety glasses and
take care not to allow any battery fluids (acid) to come into contact with
skin, clothing or the vehicle body.
● Do not lean over the 12-volt battery.
● In the event that battery fluid comes into contact with the skin or eyes,
immediately wash the affected area with water and seek medical attention.
Place a wet sponge or cloth over the affected area until medical attention
can be received.
● Always wash your hands after handling the 12-volt battery support, termi-
nals, and other battery-related parts.
● Do not allow children near the 12-volt battery.

Fuel information
■Fuel tank opening for unleaded gasoline
To help prevent incorrect fueling, your Toyota has a fuel tank opening that
only accommodates the special nozzle on unleaded fuel pumps.
■ If your engine knocks
●Consult your Toyota dealer.
● You may occasionally notice light knocking for a short time while acceler-
ating or driving uphill. This is normal and there is no need for concern.
■ Gasoline quality
In very few cases, driveability problems may be caused by the brand of gas-
oline you are using. If driveability problems persist, try changing the brand of
gasoline. If this does not correct the problem, consult your Toyota dealer.
■ Gasoline quality standards
●Automotive manufacturers in the U.S., Europe and Japan have devel-
oped a specification for fuel quality called the World-Wide Fuel Charter
(WWFC) that is expected to be applied worldwide.
● The WWFC consists of four categories that are based on required emis-
sion levels. In the U.S., category 4 has been adopted.
● The WWFC improves air quality by lo wering emissions in vehicle fleets,
and improves customer satisfaction through better performance.
You must only use unleaded gasoline in your vehicle.
Unleaded gasoline with an Octane Rating of 87 (Research Octane
Number 91) or higher is required for optimum engine performance.
At minimum, the gasoline you use should meet the specifications
of ASTM D4814 in the U.S.A. and CGSB3.5-M93 in Canada.
