3766-3. Do-it-yourself maintenance
AVALON (U)_(OM41452U)
■Discharge headlights (if equipped)
If voltage to the discharge bulbs is insufficient, the bulbs may not come on, or
may go out temporarily. The discharge bulbs will come on when normal
power is restored.
■ LED light bulbs
The daytime running lights (vehicles with discharge headlights), stop/tail
lights, high mounted stoplight and outer foot lights each consist of a number
of LEDs. If any of the LEDs burn out, take your vehicle to your Toyota dealer
to have the light replaced.
■ Condensation build-up on the inside of the lens
Temporary condensation build-up on the inside of the lens does not indicate a
malfunction. Contact your Toyota dealer for more information in the following
situations:
●Large drops of water have built up on the inside of the lens.
● Water has built up inside the lens.

Maintenance and care
AVALON (U)_(OM41452U)
CAUTION
■Replacing light bulbs
● Turn off the lights. Do not attempt to replace the bulb immediately after
turning off the lights.
The bulbs become very hot and may cause burns.
● Do not touch the glass portion of the light bulb with bare hands. When it is
unavoidable to hold the glass portion, use and hold with a clean dry cloth
to avoid getting moisture and oils on the bulb.
Also, if the bulb is scratched or dropped, it may blow out or crack.
● Fully install light bulbs and any parts used to secure them. Failure to do so
may result in heat damage, fire, or water entering the headlight unit. This
may damage the headlights or cause condensation to build up on the lens.
●Vehicles with discharge headlights:
While the low beam headlights are
turned on, and for a short time after
they have been turned off, metal com-
ponents at the rear of the headlight
assembly will be extremely hot. To pre-
vent burns, do not touch these metal
components until you are certain they
have cooled down.

CAUTION
■Discharge headlights (if equipped)
● Contact your Toyota dealer before replacing the discharge headlights
(including light bulbs).
● Do not touch the discharge headlight’s high voltage socket when the head-
lights are turned on.
An extremely high voltage of 30000 V will be discharged and could result
in death or serious injury by electric shock.
● Do not attempt to take apart or repair the headlight bulbs, connectors,
power supply circuits, or related components.
Doing so could result in electric shock and death or serious injury.
■ To prevent damage or fire
● Make sure bulbs are fully seated and locked.
● Check the wattage of the bulb before installing to prevent heat damage.

4207-2. Steps to take in an emergency
AVALON (U)_(OM41452U)
■Starting the engine when the battery is discharged
The engine cannot be started by push-starting.
■ 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 running
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.)
■ When recharging or replacing the battery
●In some cases, it may not be possible to unlock the doors using the smart
key system when the battery is discharged. Use the wireless remote control
or the mechanical key to lock or unlock the doors.
● The engine may not start on the first attempt after the battery has recharged
but will start normally after the second attempt. This is not a malfunction.
● The engine switch mode is memorized by the vehicle. When the battery is
reconnected, the system will return to the mode it was in before the battery
was discharged. Before disconnecting the battery, turn the engine switch off.
If you are unsure what mode the engine switch was in before the battery dis-
charged, be especially careful when reconnecting the battery.
● Make sure that the key is not inside the vehicle when recharging or replac-
ing the battery. The key may be locked in the vehicle if the alarm is acti-
vated. ( P. 69)
