7148-2. Steps to take in an emergency
PRIUS_OM_OM47A29U_(U)■
When recharging or repl acing the 12-volt battery
● In some cases, it may not be possible to unlock the doors using the smart
key system when the 12-volt battery is discharged. 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 battery
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 bat-
tery 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 you are unsure what mode the power switch was in before the 12-volt bat-
tery discharged, be especially careful when reconnecting the 12-volt battery.
● If the 12-volt battery discharges while the shift position is in P, it may not be
possible to shift the shift position to other positions. In this case, the vehicle
cannot be towed without lifting both front wheels because the front wheels
will be locked. ( P. 648)
■ When exchanging the 12-volt battery
●Use a 12-volt battery that conforms to European regulations.
● Use a 12-volt battery with the same case size as the previous 12-volt battery
and an equivalent 20 hour rate capacity (20HR) or greater.
• If the sizes differ, the 12-volt battery cannot be properly secured.
• If the 20 hour rate capacity is low, even if the time period where the vehi-
cle is not used is a short time, the 12-volt battery may discharge and the
hybrid system may not be able to start.
● For details, consult your Toyota dealer.

8-2. Steps to take in an emergency
If the vehicle becomes stuck
Set the parking brake and shift the shift position to P. Stop the
hybrid system.
Remove the mud, snow or sand from around the front wheels.
Place wood, stones or some othe r material under the front wheels
to help provide traction.
Restart the hybrid system.
Shift the shift position to D or R and release the parking brake.
Then, while exercising caution, depress the accelerator pedal.
■ When it is difficult to free the vehicle
Carry out the following procedures if the tires spin or the vehicle
becomes stuck in mud, dirt or snow:
Press to turn off TRAC. ( P. 406)

When trouble arises
WARNING
■When attempting to free a stuck vehicle
If you choose to push the vehicle back and forth to free it, make sure the
surrounding area is clear to avoid striking other vehicles, objects or people.
The vehicle may also lunge forward or lunge back suddenly as it becomes
free. Use extreme caution.
■ When changing the shift position
Be careful not to change the shift position with the accelerator pedal
depressed.
This may lead to unexpected rapid acceleration of the vehicle that may
cause an accident resulting in death or serious injury.
NOTICE
■To avoid damage to the hybrid transmission and other components
● Avoid spinning the front wheels and depressing the accelerator pedal
more than necessary.
● If the vehicle remains stuck even after these procedures are performed,
the vehicle may require towing to be freed.
