7-2. Steps to take in an emergency
WARNING
●Always wash your hands after han- dling the 12-volt battery support,
terminals, and other battery-related parts.
●Do not allow children near the 12-volt battery.
■After recharging the 12-volt bat-tery
Have the 12-volt battery inspected at
any authorized Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or any reli-able repairer as soon as possible.
If the 12-volt battery is deteriorating, continued use may cause the 12-volt battery to emit a malodorous gas,
which may be detrimental to the health of passengers.
■When replacing the 12-volt bat-tery
●For information regarding 12-volt
battery replacement, contact any authorized Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or any reliable
repairer.
●After replacing, securely attach the exhaust hose and exhaust hole plug to the exhaust hole of the
replaced 12-volt battery. If not prop- erly installed, gases (hydrogen) may leak into the vehicle interior,
and there is the possible danger of the gas igniting and exploding.
NOTICE
■When handling jumper cables
When connecting the jumper cables, ensure that they do not become entangled in the cooling fan, etc.
■To prevent damaging the vehicle
The exclusive jump starting terminal
is to be used when charging the 12- volt battery from another vehicle in an emergency. It cannot be used to jump
start another vehicle.
