HIGHLANDER HV_U
■Starting the hybrid system
when the 12-volt battery is dis-
charged
The hybrid system cannot be started
by push-starting.
■To prevent 12-volt battery dis-
charge
●Turn off the headlights and the
audio system while the hybrid sys-
tem is off.
●Turn off any unnecessary electri-
cal components when the vehicle
is running at a low speed for an
extended period, such as in heavy
traffic.
■When the 12-volt battery is
removed or discharged
●Information stor ed in the ECU is
cleared. When the 12-volt battery
is depleted, have the vehicle
inspected at you r Toyota dealer.
●Some systems may require initial-
ization. ( P.538)
■When removing the 12-volt bat-
tery terminals
When the 12-volt battery terminals
are removed, the information stored
in the ECU is cleared. Before
removing the 12-volt battery termi-
nals, contact your Toyota dealer.
■Charging the 1 2-volt battery
The electricity stor ed in the 12-volt
battery will discharge gradually even
when the vehicle is not in use, due
to natural discharge and the drain-
ing effects of certain electrical appli-
ances. If the vehicle is left for a long
time, the 12-volt battery may dis-
charge, and the hybrid system may
be unable to start. (The 12-volt bat-
tery recharges aut omatically while
the hybrid system is operating.)
■When recharging or replacing
the 12-volt battery
●In some cases, i t may not be pos-
sible to unlock the doors using the
smart key system when the 12-volt battery is
discharged. Use
the wireless remote control or the
mechanical key to lock or unlock
the doors.
●The hybrid syste m may not start
on the first attempt after the
12-volt battery has recharged but
will start normally after the second
attempt. This is not a malfunction.
●The power switch mode is memo-
rized by the vehicle. When the
12-volt battery is reconnected, the
system will return to the mode it
was in before the 12-volt battery
was discharged. Before discon-
necting the 12-volt battery, turn
the power switch off.
If you are unsure what mode the
power switch was in before the
12-volt battery discharged, be
especially careful when recon-
necting the 12-volt battery.
●The power back door must be ini-
tialized. ( P.141)
■When replacing t he 12-volt bat-
tery
●Use a Central Degassing type
12-volt battery (European Regula-
tions).
●Use a 12-volt battery that the case
size is same as the previous one
(LN2), 20 hour rate capacity
(20HR) is equivalent (55Ah) or
greater, and per formance rating
(CCA) is equivalent (345A) or
greater.
• If the sizes differ, the 12-volt bat- tery cannot be properly secured.
• If the 20 hour rate capacity is low,
even if the time p eriod where the
vehicle is not used is a short time,
the 12-volt battery may discharge
and the hybrid system may not be
able to start.
●Use a 12-volt battery with a han-
dle. If a 12-volt battery without a
handle is used, removal is more
difficult.
●After replacing, firmly attach the
following items to the exhaust hole
of the 12-volt battery.

■When inspecting under the
hood of your vehicle
Observe the following precau-
tions.
Failure to do so may result in seri-
ous injury such as burns.
●If steam is seen coming from
under the hood, do not open the
hood until the steam has sub-
sided. The engine compart-
ment may be very hot.
●After the hybrid system has
been turned off , check that the
“READY” indicator is off.
When the hybrid system is oper-
ating, the gasoline engine may
automatically start, or the cool-
ing fan may suddenly operate
even if the gasoline engine
stops. Do not touch or approach
rotating parts such as the fan,
which may lead to fingers or
clothing (especially a tie, a scarf
or a muffler) getting caught,
resulting in serious injury.
●Do not loosen the radiator cap
and the coolant reservoir caps
while the hybrid system and
radiator are hot.
High temperature steam or
coolant could spray out.
NOTICE
■When adding engine/power
control unit coolant
Add coolant slowly after the
hybrid system has cooled down
sufficiently. Adding cool coolant to
a hot hybrid system too quickly
can cause damage to the hybrid
system.

Capteurs d'impact avant
Ensemble de capteurs de coussins gonflables
Votre véhicule est équipé de COUSSINS GONFLABLES INTELLI-
GENTS conçus selon les normes de sécurité américaines applica-
bles aux véhicules à moteur (FM VSS208). L'ensemble de capteurs
de coussins gonflables (ECU) régule le déploiement des coussins
gonflables sur la base des informa tions qu'il reçoit des capteurs,
etc., indiqués ci-dessus dans le schéma illustrant les composants du
système. Parmi ces informations figurent la gravité du choc et l'occu-
pation du véhicule par les pass agers. Le déploiement rapide des
coussins gonflables est obtenu au moyen d'une réaction chimique
dans les dispositifs pyrotechniques, qui produit un gaz inoffen sif per-
mettant d'amortir le mouvement des occupants.

■Précautions relatives aux
coussins gonflables SRS
Respectez les précautions suiva-
ntes concernant les coussins gon-
flables SRS.
Le non-respect de ces précau-
tions peut occasionner des bless-
ures graves, voire mortelles.
●Le conducteur et tous les pas-
sagers du véhicule doivent por-
ter correctement leur ceinture
de sécurité.
Les coussins gonflables SRS
sont des disposit ifs supplémen-
taires à utiliser avec les cein-
tures de sécurité.
●Le coussin gonflable conduc-
teur SRS se déploie avec une
force considérable, pouvant
occasionner des blessures
graves, voire mortelles, si le
conducteur se trouve très près
du coussin gonflable. L'autorité
fédérale chargée de la sécurité
routière aux États-Unis
(NHTSA) conseille:
La zone à risque du coussin
gonflable conducteur se situant
dans les premiers 2 à 3 in. (50 à
75 mm) de déploiement, vous
placer à 10 in. (250 mm) de
votre coussin gonflable conduc-
teur vous garantit une marge de
sécurité suffisante. Cette dis-
tance est à mesurer entre le
centre du volant et le sternum.
Si vous êtes assis à moins de
10 in. (250 mm), vous pouvez
changer votre position de con-
duite de plusieurs façons:
• Reculez votre siège le plus pos- sible, de manière à pouvoir
encore atteindr e confortable-
ment les pédales.

●Ne fixez rien aux portes, à la
vitre du pare-brise, aux vitres
latérales, aux montants avant et
arrière, au rail latéral de toit et à
la poignée de maintien.
●Ne suspendez aucun cintre ou
objet dur aux crochets à vête-
ments. Tous ces objets pour-
raient se transformer en
projectiles et c auser des bless-
ures graves, voire mortelles en
cas de déploiement des couss-
ins gonflables rideaux SRS.
●Si un cache en vinyle est placé
sur la zone où le coussin gon-
flable de genoux SRS se
déploie, assure z-vous de le
retirer.
●N'utilisez aucun accessoire de
siège recouvrant les zones de
déploiement des coussins gon-
flables latéraux SRS et du cous-
sin gonflable de coussin de
siège SRS, car il risque de
gêner le déploiement des cous-
sins gonflables SRS. De tels
accessoires peuvent empêcher
les coussins gonflables latéraux
et le coussin gonflable de cous-
sin de siège de s'activer cor-
rectement, désactiver le
système ou entraîner le déploie-
ment accidentel des coussins
gonflables latéraux et du cous-
sin gonflable de coussin de
siège, occasionnant des bless-
ures graves, voire mortelles.
●Évitez de faire subir des chocs
ou des pressions excessives
aux parties renfermant les com-
posants de coussins gonflables
SRS ou aux portes avant. En
effet, cela pourrait entraîner un
dysfonctionnement des couss-
ins gonflables SRS.
●Ne touchez aucun composant
immédiatement après le
déploiement (gonflage) des
coussins gonflables SRS, car ils
peuvent être chauds.
●Si vous avez des difficultés à
respirer après le déploiement
des coussins gonflables SRS,
ouvrez une porte ou une vitre
pour faire entrer de l'air frais, ou
bien descendez du véhicule si
cela ne présente pas de danger.
Essuyez tout résidu dès que
possible afin d'éviter d'éventu-
elles irritations de la peau.
●Si les parties renfermant les
coussins gonflables SRS,
comme les garnitures du volant
et des montants avant et
arrière, sont endommagées ou
craquelées, faites-les remplacer
par votre concessionnaire Toy-
ota.
●Ne placez rien sur le siège du
passager avant, comme un
coussin par exemple. Cela a
pour conséquence de répartir le
poids du passager sur toute la
surface du siège, ce qui
empêche le capteur de détecter
correctement le poids du pas-
sager. En conséquence, les
coussins gonflables frontaux
SRS du passager avant ris-
quent de ne pas se déployer en
cas de collision.
