■Before programming Home-
Link
®
 During programming, it is pos-
sible that garage doors, 
gates, or other devices may 
operate. For this reason, 
make sure that people and 
objects are clear of the 
garage door or other devices 
to prevent injury or other 
potential harm.
 It is recommended that a new 
battery be placed in the 
remote control transmitter for 
successful programming.

■When programming a garage 
door or other remote control 
device
The garage door o r other device 
may operate, so ensure people 
and objects are out of danger to 
prevent potential harm.
■Conforming to federal safety 
standards
Do not use the HomeLink
® com-
patible transceiver with any 
garage door opener or device that 
lacks safety stop and reverse fea-
tures as required by federal safety

This includes any garage door 
that cannot detect an interfering 
object. A door or device without 
these features increases the risk 
of death or serious injury.

The 12-volt battery is located in 
the right-hand side of luggage 
compartment.
■Before recharging
When recharging, the 12-volt bat-
tery produces hydrogen gas which 
is flammable and explosive. There-
fore, observe the following precau-
tions before recharging:
●If recharging with the 12-volt bat-
tery installed on the vehicle, be 
sure to disconnect the ground 
cable.
●Make sure the power switch on 
the charger is off when connecting 
and disconnecting the charger 
cables to the 12-volt battery.
■After recharging/reconnecting 
the 12-volt battery (vehicles 
with smart key system)
The hybrid system may not start. 
Follow the procedure below to ini-
tialize the system.
1 Shift the shift lever to P.
2 Open and close any of the doors.
3 Restart the hybrid system.
●Unlocking the doors using the 
smart key system may not be pos-
sible immediately after reconnect-
ing the 12-volt battery. If this 
happens, use the wireless remote  control or the mechanical key to 
lock/unlock the doors.
●Start the hybrid system with the 
power switch in 
ACC. The hybrid 
system may not start with the 
power switch turned off. However, 
the hybrid system will operate nor-
mally from the second attempt.
●The power switch mode is 
recorded by the vehicle. If the 12-
volt battery is reconnected, the 
vehicle will return the power 
switch mode to the status it was in 
before the 1 2-volt battery was dis-
connected. Make sure to turn off 
the power switch before discon-
nect the 12-volt battery. Take extra 
care when connecting the 12-volt 
battery if the power switch mode 
prior to discharge is unknown.
If the hybrid sys tem will not start 
even after multiple attempts at all 
methods above, contact your Toyota 
dealer.
