■Starting the engine when the battery is discharged
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 battery is removed or discharged
Flex-fuel vehicles: The information recorded in the computer will be cleared,
which may cause the engine to run roughly and reduce driving performance
for a while when the engine is first started. In this case, wait until the engine
runs normally.
If the vehicle is running on E85, the engine may stall. In this case, restart the
engine, repeatedly if necessary.
Once the vehicle’s engine has started, remove the jumper
cables in the exact reverse order in which they were con-
nected.
Once the engine starts, have the vehicle checked at your Toyota
dealer as soon as possible.
