General points
Lead-acid starter batteries
Protect your eyes and face before handling the battery.All operations on the battery must be carried out in a well ventilated area and away from naked flames and sources of sparks, so as to avoid the risk of explosion or fire.Wash your hands afterwards.
Versions equipped with Stop & Start are fitted with a 12 V lead-acid battery of specific technology and specification.Its replacement should be carried out only by an authorized Toyota dealer or repairer, or another duly qualified and equipped professional.
If your vehicle has an automatic gearbox, do not try to start the engine by pushing the vehicle.
Batteries contain harmful substances such as sulphuric acid and lead.They must be disposed of in accordance with regulations and must not, in any circumstances, be discarded with household waste.Take used remote control batteries and vehicle batteries to a special collection point.
For more information on the Bonnet and Engine, refer to the corresponding section(s).

Starting using another
battery
Never try to start the engine by connecting a battery charger.Never use a 24 V or higher battery b o o s t e r.First check that the slave battery has a nominal voltage of 12 V and a capacity at least equal to that of the discharged battery.The two vehicles must not be in contact with each other.Switch off the electrical consumers on both vehicles (audio system, wipers, lighting, ...).Ensure that the jump lead cables do not pass close to moving parts of the engine (cooling fan, belts, ...).Do not disconnect the (+) terminal when the engine is running.
F Raise the plastic cover on the (+) terminal, if your vehicle has one.F Connect the red cable to the positive terminal (+) of the flat battery A (at the metal elbow) then to the positive terminal (+) of the slave battery B or the b o o s t e r.F Connect one end of the green or black cable to the negative terminal (-) of the slave battery B or the booster (or earth point on the other vehicle).F Connect the other end of the green or black cable to the earth point C on the broken down vehicle.
F Start the engine of the vehicle with the good battery and leave it running for a few minutes.
F Operate the starter on the broken down vehicle and let the engine run.If the engine does not start straight away, switch off the ignition and wait a few moments before trying again.
When your vehicle's battery is discharged, the engine can be started using a slave battery (external or on another vehicle) and jump lead cables or a battery booster.
Some functions, including Stop & Start, are not available if the battery is not sufficiently charged.
F Wait until the engine returns to idle then disconnect the jump lead cables in the reverse order.F Refit the plastic cover to the (+) terminal, if your vehicle has one.F Allow the engine to run for at least 30 minutes, by driving or with the vehicle stationary, so that the battery reaches an adequate state of charge.

For optimum service life of the battery, it is essential to maintain an adequate state of charge.In some circumstances it may be necessary to charge the battery:- if you use your vehicle essentially for short journeys,- if the vehicle is to be taken off the road for several weeks.Contact an authorized Toyota dealer or repairer, or another duly qualified and equipped professional.
Charging the battery using
a battery charger
F Switch off the ignition.F Switch off all electrical consumers (audio system, lighting, wipers, ...).
If you envisage charging your vehicle's battery yourself, use only a charger compatible with lead-acid batteries of a nominal voltage of 12 V.
Follow the instructions for use provided by the manufacturer of the charger.Never reverse polarities.
Never try to charge a frozen battery.If the battery has been frozen, have it checked by an authorized Toyota dealer or repairer, or another duly qualified and equipped professional, who will check that the internal components have not been damaged and the casing is not cracked, which could cause a leak of toxic and corrosive acid.
If this label is present, it is essential to use only a 12 V charger, to avoid causing irreversible damage to the electrical components related to the Stop & Start system.
It is not necessary to disconnect the battery.
F Switch off the charger B before connecting the cables to the battery, so as to avoid any dangerous sparks.F Ensure that the charger cables are in good condition.F Raise the plastic cover, if your vehicle has one, on the (+) terminal.
F Connect the charger B cables as follows:- the positive (+) red cable to the (+) terminal of the battery A,- the negative (-) black cable to the earth point C on the vehicle.F At the end of the charging operation, switch off the charger B before disconnecting the cables from the battery A.

Do not force the lever as locking will not be possible if the clamp is not
positioned correctly; start the procedure again.
Disconnecting the battery
In order to maintain an adequate state of charge for starting the engine, it is recommended that the battery be disconnected if the vehicle is taken out of service for a long period.Wait 2 minutes after switching off the ignition before disconnecting the battery.F close the windows and the doors before disconnecting the battery,F switch off all electrical consumers (audio system, wipers, lighting, ...),F switch off the ignition and wait for four minutes.Having exposed the battery, it is only necessary to disconnect the (+) terminal.
Quick release terminal
Disconnecting the (+) terminal
F Raise the lever A fully to release the clamp B.
Following reconnection of the battery
Reconnecting the (+) terminal
F Position the open clamp B of the cable on the positive post (+) of the battery.F Press down on the clamp to position it correctly on the battery post.F Lock the clamp by lowering the lever A.
After reconnecting the battery, switch on the ignition and wait 1 minute before starting to allow initialisation of the electronic systems.However, if minor problems persist following this operation, contact an authorized Toyota dealer or repairer, or another duly qualified and equipped professional.Referring to the corresponding section, you must yourself reinitialise or reset certain systems, such as:- the remote control or electronic key (depending on version),- the electric windows,- the date and time,- the radio preset stations.
The Stop & Start system may not be operational during the trip following the first engine start.In this case, the system will only be available again after a continuous period of immobilisation of the vehicle, a period which depends on the ambient temperature and the state of charge of the battery (up to about 8 hours).

steering, or release the parking brake,- towing with only two wheels on the
ground,- where there is no approved towing arm available...
