■When the 12-volt battery is removed or discharged
●The hybrid system may not start. ( P. 512)
● The power back door must be initialized. ( P. 75)
● Make sure that the key is not inside the vehicle when recharging or
replacing the battery. The key may be locked in the vehicle if the alarm is
activated. ( P. 131)
■ 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.)
CAUTION
■ Avoiding 12-volt battery fires or explosions
Observe the following precautions to prevent accidentally igniting the flam-
mable gas that may be emitted from the 12-volt battery.
●Make sure each jumper cable is connected to the correct terminal.
● Do not allow the ends of the jumper cable used for the “+” terminals to
come into contact with any other parts or metal surface in the area, such
as brackets or unpainted metal.
● Do not allow the “+” and “-” terminals of the jumper cables to come into
contact with each other.
● Do not smoke, use matches, cigarette lighters or allow open flame near
the 12-volt battery.
