5. Remove the positive terminal cover ofthe auxiliary battery.
6. If the booster battery is installed in another vehicle, make sure the ve-
hicles are not touching. Turn off all
unnecessary lights and accessories.
7. If required, remove all the vent plugs from the booster batteries. Lay a cloth
over the open vents on the batteries.
(This helps reduce the explosion haz-
ard, personal injuries and burns.) 8. If the engine in the vehicle with the
booster battery is not running, start it
and let it run for a few minutes. During
jump starting, run the engine at about
2000 rpm with the accelerator pedal
lightly depressed.

CAUTION
When making the connections, to
avoid serious injury, do not lean over
the battery or accidentally let the
jumper cables or clamps touch any-
thing except the correct battery termi-
nals or the ground.
10. Start the hybrid system. Make sure the “READY” light is on. If the hybrid ve-
hicle battery warning light comes on in
the multiinformation display, the hybrid
vehicle battery is also discharged. Con-
tact your Toyota dealer.
11. Carefully disconnect the cables in the exact reverse order: the negative cable
and then the positive cable.
12. Carefully dispose of the battery cover cloths—they may now contain sulfuric
acid.
13. If removed, replace all the battery vent plugs.
If the cause of your auxiliary battery dis-
charging is not apparent (for example,
lights left on), you should have it checked
at your Toyota dealer.

INSIDE THE VEHICLE
Items listed below should be checked
regularly, e.g. while performing periodic
services, cleaning the vehicle, etc.
Lights
Make sure the headlights, stop lights, tail
lights, turn signal lights, and other lights
are all working. Check headlight aim.
Service reminder indicators and warning
buzzers
Check that all service reminder indicators
and warning buzzers function properly.
Steering wheel
Be alert for changes in steering condition,
such as hard steering or strange noise.
Seats
Check that all front seat controls such as
seat adjusters, seatback recliner, etc. op-
erate smoothly and that all latches lock
securely in any position. Check that the
head restraint move up and down smooth-
ly and that the locks hold securely in any
latched position.Seat belts
Check that the seat belt system such as
buckles, retractors and anchors operate
properly and smoothly. Make sure the belt
webbing is not cut, frayed, worn or dam-
aged.
Accelerator pedal
Check the pedal for smooth operation and
uneven pedal effort or catching.
Brake pedal
Check the pedal for smooth operation and
that the pedal has the proper clearance.
Check the brake booster function.
Brakes
At a safe place, check that the brakes do
not pull to one side when applied.
Parking brake
Check that the pedal has the proper travel
and that, on a safe incline, your vehicle
is held securely with only the parking
brake applied.
Hybrid transaxle ”Park” mechanism
Check the lock release button of the se-
lector lever for proper and smooth opera-
tion. On a safe incline, check that your
vehicle is held securely with the selector
lever in ”P” position and all brakes re-
leased.
IN THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT
Items listed below should be checked
from time to time, e.g. each time when
refueling.
Washer fluid
Make sure there is sufficient fluid in the
tank. See page 231 in Section 83 for
additional information.
Coolant level
Make sure the coolant level is between
the ”FULL” and ”LOW” lines on the see
through reservoir when the hybrid system
is cold. See page 216 in Section 82 for
additional information.
Radiator, condenser and hoses
Check that the front of the radiator and
condenser are clean and not blocked with
leaves, dirt, or insects. See page 218 in
Section 82 for additional information.

If the headlights or other electrical
components do not work, check the
fuses. If any of the fuses are blown,
they must be replaced.
See “Fuse locations” on page 207 in Sec-
tion 81 for locations of the fuses.
Turn the ignition switch and inoperative
component off. Pull a suspected fuse
straight out and check it.
Determine which fuse may be causing the
problem. The lid of the fuse box shows
the name of the circuit for each fuse. See
page 244 in Section 9 for the functions
controlled by each circuit.Type A fuses can be pulled out by the
pullout tool. The location of the pullout
tool is shown in the illustration.
If you are not sure whether the fuse has
blown, try replacing the suspected fuse
with one that you know is good.
If the fuse has blown, push a new fuse
into the clip.
Only install a fuse with the amperage rat-
ing designated on the fuse box lid.
If you do not have a spare fuse, in an
emergency you can pull out the “DOME”
or “OBD
II” fuse, which may be dispens-
able for normal driving, and use it if its
amperage rating is the same.
If you cannot use one of the same amper-
age, use one that is lower, but as close
as possible to, the rating. If the amperage
is lower than that specified, the fuse
might blow out again. but this does not
indicate anything wrong. Be sure to get
the correct fuse as soon as possible and
return the substitute to its original clip.
It is a good idea to purchase a set of
spare fuses and keep them in your ve-
hicle for emergencies. If the new fuse immediately blows out,
there is a problem with the electrical sys-
tem. Have your Toyota dealer correct it as
soon as possible.
CAUTION
Never use a fuse with a higher am-
perage rating, or any other object, in
place of a fuse. This may cause ex-
tensive damage and possibly a fire.

The inside of the lens of exterior lights
such as headlights may temporarily fog up
when the lense becomes wet in the rain
or in a car wash. This is not a problem
because the fogging is caused by the
temperature difference between the outside
and inside of the lense, just like the
windshield fogged up in the rain. However,
if there is a large drop of water on the
inside of the lense, or if there is water
pooled inside the light, contact your
Toyota dealer.Light bulbsBulbNo.WTy p e
