■After a fuse is replaced
●If the lights do not turn on even
after the fuse has been replaced,
a bulb may need replacement.
(
 P.428)
●If the replaced fuse blows again,
have the vehicle inspected by
your Toyota dealer.
■If there is an ove rload in a cir-
cuit
The fuses are designed to blow, pro-
tecting the wiring harness from
damage.
■When replacing light bulbs
Toyota recommends that you use
genuine Toyota pr oducts designed
for this vehicle. Because certain
bulbs are connected to circuits
designed to prevent overload,
non-genuine parts or parts not
designed for this vehicle may be
unusable.
WARNING
■To prevent system break-
downs and vehicle fire
Observe the following precau-
tions.
Failure to do so may cause dam-
age to the vehicle, and possibly a
fire or injury.
●Never use a fuse of a higher
amperage rating than that indi-
cated, or use any other object in
place of a fuse.
●Always use a genuine Toyota
fuse or equivalent.
Never replace a fuse with a
wire, even as a temporary fix.
●Do not modify the fuses or fuse
boxes.

4747-2. Steps to take in an emergency
One of the following may be the
cause of the problem:
The electronic key may not be
functioning properly.
( P.477)
 There may not be sufficient
fuel in the vehicle’s tank.
Refuel the vehicle.
 There may be a malfunction
in the immobilizer system.
( P. 7 7 )
 The hybrid system may be
malfunctioning due to an elec-
trical problem such as elec-
tronic key battery depletion or
a blown fuse. However,
depending on the type of mal-
function, an interim measure
is available to start the hybrid
system. ( P.474) One of the following may be the
cause of the problem:

The 12-volt battery may be
discharged. ( P.479)
 The 12-volt battery terminal
connections may be loose or
corroded. ( P.402)
One of the following may be the
cause of the problem:
 One or both of the 12-volt bat-
tery terminals may be discon-
nected. ( P.402)
 The 12-volt battery may be
discharged. ( P.479)
Contact your Toyota dealer if the
problem cannot be repaired, or if
repair procedures are unknown.
When the hybrid system does
not start, the following steps can
be used as an interim measure
to start the hybrid system if the
power switch is functioning nor-
mally.
Do not use this starting proce-
If the hybrid system
will not start
Reasons for the hybrid sys-
tem not starting vary
depending on the situation.
Check the following and
perform the appropriate
procedure:
The hybrid system will not
start even though the cor-
rect starting procedure is
being followed. ( P.207)
The interior lights and
headlights are dim, or the

When trouble arises
If you have a set of jumper (or
booster) cables and a second
vehicle with a 12-volt battery,
you can jump start your vehicle
by following the steps below.
1Confirm that the electronic
key is being carried.
Vehicles with an alarm: When con-
necting the jumper (or booster)
cables, depending on the situation,
the alarm may activate and doors
locked. ( P. 7 9 )
2 Open the hood ( P.394) and
fuse box cover.
If the 12-volt batter y is
discharged
The following procedures
may be used to start the
hybrid system if the vehi-
cle’s 12-volt battery is dis-
charged.
You can also call your Toy-
ota dealer or a qualified
repair shop.

tem

4817-2. Steps to take in an emergency
7
When trouble arises
6Open and close any of the
doors of your vehicle with the
power switch OFF.
7 Maintain the engine speed of
the second vehicle and start
the hybrid system of your
vehicle by turning the power
switch to ON.
8 Make sure the “READY” indi-
cator comes on. If the indica-
tor light does not come on,
contact your Toyota dealer.
9 Once the hybrid system has
started, remove the jumper
cables in the exact reverse
order from which they were
connected.
10 Close the exclusive jump
starting terminal cover, and
reinstall the fuse box cover to
its original position.
Once the hybrid system starts,
have the vehicle inspected at
your Toyota dealer as soon as
possible.
■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 stored in the ECU is
cleared. When the 12-volt battery
is depleted, have the vehicle
inspected at your Toyota dealer.
●Some systems may require initial-
ization. ( P.523)
■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-vo lt battery termi-
nals, contact you r Toyota dealer.
■Charging the 12-volt battery
The electricity stored in the 12-volt
battery will discha rge gradually even
when the vehicle i s not in use, due
to natural dischar ge 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 automatically while
the hybrid system is operating.)
■When recharging or replacing
the 12-volt battery
●In some cases, it 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
