5428-2. Steps to take in an emergency
●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
power switch was in before the
12-volt battery discharged, be
especially careful when recon-
necting the 12-volt battery.
●Some systems may require initial-
ization. ( P.582)
■When replacing the 12-volt bat-
tery
●Use a 12-volt battery that con-
forms to European regulations.
●Use a 12-volt battery that the case
size is same as the previous one
(LN2), 20 hours rate capacity
(20HR) is equiva lent (55Ah) or
greater, and performance rating
(CCA) is equivalent (345A) or
greater.
• If the sizes differ, the 12-volt bat- tery cannot be pr operly secured.
• If the 20 hour rate capacity is low,
even if the time period where the
vehicle is not used is a short time,
the 12-volt battery may discharge
and hybrid system may not be
able to start.
●Use a ventilation t ype calcium bat-
tery
●Use a 12-volt battery with a han-
dle. If a 12-volt b attery without a
handle is used, removal is more
difficult.
●When removing the 12-volt bat-
tery:  P.467
●After replacing, firmly attach the
following items to the exhaust hole
of the 12-volt battery.
• Use the exhaust hose that was
attached to the 12-volt battery
before replacing an d confirm that
it is firmly connected to the hole
section of t he vehicle.
• Use the exhaust hole plug included with the new 12-volt bat-
tery or the one installed on the
