354 5−2. Steps to take in an emergency
 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.
CAUTION
 Avoiding battery fires or explosions
Observe the following precautions to prevent accidentally igniting the flam−
mable gas that may be emitted from the battery.
 Make sure the jumper cable is connected to the correct terminal and that it
is not unintentionally in contact with any part other than the intended termi−
nal.
 Do not allow the jumper cables to come into contact with the “+” and “−” ter−
minals.

Do not smoke, use matches, cigarette lighters or allow open flame near
the battery.
Start the engine of the second vehicle. Increase the engine
speed slightly and maintain at
that level for approximately 5
minutes to recharge the battery of your vehicle.
Maintain the engine speed of the second vehicle and start
the vehicle’s engine.
Once the vehicle’s engine has started, remove the jumper
cables in the exact reverse order in which they were con−
nected.
If removed, replace all the battery vent plugs.
Once the engine starts, have the vehicle checked at your Toyota
dealer as soon as possible.
