When trouble arises
Start the engine of the second vehicle. Increase the engine speed
slightly and maintain at that level for approximately 5 minutes to
recharge the batter y of your vehicle.
Vehicles with smart key system only: Open and close any of the
doors of your vehicle with the engine switch off.
Vehicles without smart key system:
Maintain the engine speed of t he second vehicle and start the
engine of your vehicle.
Vehicles with smart key system:
Maintain the engine speed of t he second vehicle and start the
engine of your vehicle by turning the engine switch to IGNITION
ON mode.
Once the vehicle’s engine has star ted, remove the jumper cables in
the exact reverse order from which they were connected.
Once the engine starts, have the v ehicle inspected at your Toyota
dealer as soon as possible.
■ Starting the engine when the battery is discharged
The engine cannot be started by push-starting.
■ To prevent battery discharge
●Turn off the headlights and the audio system while the engine is off.
● Turn off any unnecessary electrical components when the vehicle is running
at a low speed for an extended period, such as in heavy traffic.
■ 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.)

When recharging or replacing the ba ttery (vehicles with smart key sys-
tem)
● In some cases, it may not be possible to unlock the doors using the smart
key system when the battery is discharged. Use the wireless remote control
or the mechanical key to lock or unlock the doors.
● The engine may not start on the first attempt after the battery has recharged
but will start normally after the second attempt. This is not a malfunction.
● The engine switch mode is memorized by the vehicle. When the battery is
reconnected, the system will return to the mode it was in before the battery
was discharged. Before disconnecting the battery, turn the engine switch off.
If you are unsure what mode the engine switch was in before the battery dis-
charged, be especially careful when reconnecting the battery.
■ When the battery is removed or discharged
●The power back door (if equipped) must be initialized. ( →P. 121)
● The moon roof (if equipped) must be initialized. ( →P. 162)
● Toyota parking assist monitor (if equipped) must be initialized. (Refer to
“NAVIGATION AND MULTIMEDIA SYSTEM OWNER’S MANUAL”)
● Panoramic view monitor (if equipped) must be initialized. (Refer to “NAVI-
GATION AND MULTIMEDIA SYSTEM OWNER’S MANUAL”)
WARNING
■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 each jumper cable is connected to the correct terminal and that
it is not unintentionally in contact with any other than the intended terminal.
● Do not allow the other end of the jumper cable connected to the “+” termi-
nal to come into contact with any other parts or metal surfaces in the area,
such as brackets or unpainted metal.
● Do not allow the + and - clamps of the jumper cables to come into contact
with each other.
● Do not smoke, use matches, cigarette lighters or allow open flame near
the battery.

AVERTISSEMENT
■Précautions relatives aux coussins gonflables SRS
● Ne laissez personne s’agenouiller face
à la portière sur le siège du passager ni
sortir la tête ou les mains à l’extérieur
du véhicule.
● Ne fixez rien et n’appuyez rien sur des
zones telles que la planche de bord, le
tampon de volant et la partie inférieure
du tableau de bord.
Ces objets peuvent se transformer en
projectiles lorsque les coussins gon-
flables SRS du conducteur, du passa-
ger avant ou de protection des genoux
se déploient.
● Ne fixez rien sur des zones telles que
les portières, le pare-brise, les glaces
de portières, les montants avant ou
arrière, le brancard de pavillon et la poi-
gnée de maintien.
● Véhicules non dotés du système Smart
key : N’accrochez pas d’objets lourds,
pointus ou durs, par exemple des clés
ou des accessoires, à la clé. Ces objets
pourraient empêcher le déploiement du
coussin gonflable SRS de protection
des genoux ou être projetés violem-
ment dans l’assise du siège du conduc-
teur par la force du déploiement, et
donc présenter un danger.
