■Solar battery
When the solar roof is not exposed to sunlight or the vehicle is not driven for a
long period of time, the solar battery may be discharged, negatively affecting
the system.
If storing the vehicle inside of a garage away from the sun or if the vehicle will
not be used for a long period of time, use one of the following methods to
charge the solar battery at least once every 2 to 3 months.
● Start the hybrid system and keep the READY indicator turned on for approx-
imately 60 minutes or more
● Park the vehicle outside of the garage so that the solar roof is in direct sun-
light for approximately 2 hours or more
(In this case, it is not necessary to start the hybrid system)
NOTICE
■ To protect the solar charging system from damage
● Make sure to observe the following precautions.
• Do not modify the solar roof
• Do not condense sunlight onto the solar roof
• Do not place anything on top of the solar roof
• Do not subject the solar roof to strong impacts or apply force with sharp
objects from the inside roof of the vehicle.
● If the solar roof is damaged, do not touch the damaged area and immedi-
ately request repairs from any authorized Toyota retailer or Toyota autho-
rized repairer, or any reliable repairer.
■ If luggage is loaded on the roof
