If the vehicle’s 12-volt battery is discharged
The following procedures may be used to start the hybrid system if
the vehicle's 12-volt battery is discharged.
You can call your Toyota dealer or qualified repair shop.
If you have a set of jumper (or boo ster) cables and a second vehi-
cle with a 12-volt battery, you can jump start your Toyota following
the steps below.
Open the trunk lid and remove the 12-volt battery cover.
(→ P. 300)
In the event that the trunk opener cannot be used, use the
mechanical key to open the trunk. ( →P. 382)
Connecting the jumper cables
If required, remove all vent plugs from the booster battery. Lay a
cloth over the open vents on the booster battery. (This helps
reduce the explosion hazard, personal injuries and burns.)

■Avoiding a discharged 12-volt battery
●Turn off the headlights and the audio system while the hybrid system 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 12-volt battery is removed or discharged

cables in the exact reverse order in which they were con-
nected.
