■Before recharging
When recharging, the battery produces hydrogen gas which is flammable and explosive. Therefore, observe the fol-
lowing precautions before recharging:
●If recharging with the battery 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 battery.
■After recharging/reconnecting the battery (vehicles with a smart entry
& start system)
●Unlocking the doors using the smart
entry & start system may not be possi- ble immediately after reconnecting the battery. If this happens, use the wire-
less remote control or the mechanical key to lock/unlock the doors.
●Start the engine with the engine switch in ACC. The engine may not start with the engine switch turned off.
However, the engine will operate nor- mally from the second attempt.
●The engine switch mode is recorded by the vehicle. If the battery is recon-nected, the vehicle will return the
engine switch mode to the status it
was in before the battery was discon- nected. Make sure to turn off the engine before disconnecting the bat-
tery. Take extra care when connecting the battery if the engine switch mode prior to discharge is unknown.
If the system will not start even after
multiple attempts, contact any autho-
rized Toyota retailer or Toyota autho-
rized repairer, or any reliable repairer.
