470 5-2. Steps to take in an emergency
Emergency start function (vehicles with a smart key system)When the hybrid system does not start, the following steps can be
used as an interim measure to start the hybrid system if the
“POWER” switch is functioning normally: Shift the shift lever to P.
Set the parking brake.
Turn the “POWER” switch to ACCESSORY mode.
Press and hold the “POWER” switch for about 15 seconds
while depressing the brake pedal firmly.
Even if the hybrid system can be started using the above steps, the
system may be malfunctioning. Have the vehicle inspected by your
Toyota dealer.
■ The interior lights and headlights do not turn on, or the horn
does not sound.
One of the following may be the cause of the problem:
●One or both of the 12-volt ba ttery terminals may be discon-
nected.
● The 12-volt battery may be discharged. ( P. 475)
Contact your Toyota dealer if the problem cannot be repaired, or if
repair procedures are unknown.

5-2. Steps to take in an emergency
■
Starting the hybrid system when the 12-volt battery is discharged
The hybrid system cannot be started by push-starting.
■ To prevent 12-volt battery discharge
●Turn off the headlights and the audio system while the hybrid system 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.
■ Precautions when the 12-volt batter y is discharged (vehicles with a
smart key system)
● In some cases, it may not be possible to unlock the doors using the smart
key system immediately after the 12-volt battery has been disconnected
and reconnected. Use the wireless remote control or the mechanical key
to lock or unlock the doors.
● The hybrid system may not start on the first attempt after the 12-volt bat-
tery has recharged but will start normally after the second attempt. This is
not a malfunction.
● The “POWER” switch mode is memorized by the vehicle. When the 12-
volt battery is reconnected, the system will return to the mode it was in
before the 12-volt battery was discharged. Before disconnecting the 12-
volt battery, turn the “POWER” switch off.
If the “POWER” switch was in ACCESSORY or ON mode before the 12-
volt battery was discharged, the audio system and/or air conditioning
system may operate when the 12-volt battery is reconnected.
■ Charging the 12-volt battery
The electricity stored in the 12-volt battery will discharge gradually even
when the vehicle is not in use, due to natural discharge and the draining
effects of certain electrical appliances. If the vehicle is left for a long time, the
12-volt battery may discharge, and the hybrid system may be unable to start.
(The 12-volt battery recharges automatically while the hybrid system is oper-
ating.)
