switches off
after a few min-
utes of use.When the engine is switched
off, the audio system operat-
ing time depends on the bat-
tery charge.
The switch-off is normal: the
audio system switches to
economy mode and
switches off to prevent dis-
charging the vehicle’s bat-
tery.Start the vehicle’s engine to
increase the battery charge.
The message
“the audio sys-
tem is over-
heated”
appears on the
display.In order to protect the instal-
lation if the surrounding tem-
perature is too high, the
audio system switches to an
automatic thermal protec-
tion mode leading to a
reduction of the volume or
stopping of the playing of the
CD.Switch the audio system off
for a few minutes to allow
the system to cool.

To prevent battery discharge
Turn off the headlights and the audio system while the engine is 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.
Charging the battery
The electricity stored in the battery will discharge gradually even when the
vehicle is not in use, due to natural discharge and the draining effects of cer-
tain electrical appliances. If the vehicle is left for a long time, the battery may
discharge, and the engine may be unable to start. (The battery recharges
automatically during driving.)
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 turn
the engine switch to the “ON” position, then start the vehi-
cle’s engine.
Once the vehicle’s engine has started, remove the jumper
cables in the exact reverse order from which they were con-
nected.
Once the engine starts, have the vehicle inspected at any autho-
rized Toyota dealer or repairer, or another duly qualified and
equipped professional, as soon as possible.
