106 1-5. Refueling
iQ_WE_74014E
CAUTION
Refueling the vehicle
Observe the following precautions while refueling the vehicle.
Failure to do so may result in death or serious injury.
Touch the vehicle or some other metal surface to discharge any static
electricity.
Sparks resulting from discharging static electricity may cause the fuel
vapors to ignite.
Always hold the grips on the fuel tank cap and turn it slowly to remove it.
A whooshing sound may be heard when the fuel tank cap is loosened.
Wait until the sound cannot be heard before fully removing the cap.
In hot weather, pressurized fuel may spray out of the filler neck and cause
injury.
Do not allow anyone that has not discharged static electricity from their
bodies to come close to an open fuel tank.
Do not inhale vaporized fuel.
Fuel contains substances that are harmful if inhaled.
Do not smoke while refueling the vehicle.
Doing so may cause the fuel to ignite and cause a fire.
Do not return to the vehicle or touch any person or object that is statically
charged.
This may cause static electricity to build up, resulting in a possible ignition
hazard.
When replacing the fuel cap
Do not use anything but a genuine Toyota fuel tank cap designed for your
vehicle. Doing so may cause a fire or other incident which may result in
death or serious injury.

Before recharging
When recharging, the battery produces hydrogen gas which is flammable
and explosive. Therefore, before recharging:
If recharging with the battery installed on the vehicle, be sure to discon-
nect 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 the battery (vehicles with smart entry & start system)
The engine may not start. Follow the procedure below to initialize the sys-
tem.
Shift the shift lever to P (Multidrive) or depress the brake pedal with
the shift lever in N (manual transmission).
Open and close any of the doors.
Restart the engine.
CAUTION
Chemicals in the battery
A battery contains poisonous and corrosive sulfuric acid and may produce
hydrogen gas which is flammable and explosive. To reduce the risk of death
or serious injury, take the following precautions while working on or near bat-
tery:
Do not cause sparks by touching the battery terminals with tools.
Do not smoke or light a match near the battery.

Flush your eyes with clean water for at least 15 minutes and get immedi-
ate medical attention. If possible, continue to apply water with a sponge or
cloth while traveling to the nearest medical facility.
If electrolyte gets on your skin
Wash the affected area thoroughly. If you feel pain or burning, get medical
attention immediately.
If electrolyte gets on your clothes
It can soak through clothing on to your skin. Immediately take off the cloth-
ing and follow the procedure above if necessary.

432 5-2. Steps to take in an emergency
iQ_WE_74014E
Starting the engine when the battery is discharged (vehicles with a
Multidrive)
The engine cannot be started by push-starting.
Avoiding a discharged battery
Turn off the headlights and the audio system while the engine 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 vehicle battery is removed or discharged
Any data stored in the computer will be erased. When the vehicle battery
is discharged, have the vehicle checked at any authorized Toyota dealer
or repairer, or another duly qualified and equipped professional.
Vehicles with alarm: Make sure that the key is not inside the vehicle
when recharging or replacing the battery. The key may be locked in the
vehicle if the alarm is activated. (P. 120)
Reminders when the vehicle battery is discharged (vehicles with smart
entry & start system)
When the doors are attempted to be unlocked via the smart entry & start
system just after the vehicle battery has been discharged, it may fail. If
the doors cannot be unlocked, unlock the doors using a wireless remote
controller or a mechanical key.
The first engine start after the battery has been discharged may fail.
However, the engine should start after the second attempt, so it is not a
malfunction.
Once the engine starts, have the vehicle checked at any autho-
rized Toyota dealer or repairer, or another duly qualified and
equipped professional, as soon as possible.

433 5-2. Steps to take in an emergency
When trouble arises
iQ_WE_74014E
The status of the “ENGINE START STOP” switch remains stored in the
vehicle memory. When the vehicle battery is discharged, the vehicle
returns to the status before the battery was discharged after disconnect-
ing and reconnecting the battery. When the battery needs to be discon-
nected, turn the “ENGINE START STOP” switch off before disconnecting
the battery. If the “ENGINE START STOP” switch status before the bat-
tery discharge is unknown, pay due attention to the vehicle when the bat-
tery is reconnected.
Charging the battery
The electricity stored in the battery will discharge gradually even when the
vehicle is not in use, due to natural discharge and the draining effects of cer-
tain electrical appliances. If the vehicle is left for a long time, the battery may
discharge, and the engine may be unable to start. (The battery recharges
automatically during driving.)
CAUTION
Avoiding battery fires or explosions
Observe the following precautions to prevent accidentally igniting the flam-
mable gas that may be emitted from the battery.
Make sure the jumper cable is connected to the correct terminal and that it
is not unintentionally in contact with any part other than the intended termi-
nal.
Do not allow the jumper cables to come into contact with the “+” and “-” ter-
minals.
Do not allow open flame or use matches, cigarette lighters or smoke near
the battery.
Battery precautions
The battery contains poisonous and corrosive acidic electrolyte, while
related parts contain lead and lead compounds. Observe the following pre-
cautions when handling the battery.
When working with the 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 battery.
