2016 TOYOTA SEQUOIA battery

502 5-2. Steps to take in an emergency
■Starting the engine when the battery is discharged
The engine cannot be started by push-starting.
■ Avoiding a discharged battery
●Turn off the headlights and the audio system while the engine is turned
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, etc.
■ When the battery is removed or discharged
Flex-fuel vehicles: The information recorded in the computer will be cleared,
which may cause the engine to run roughly and reduce driving performance
for a while when the engine is first started. In this case, wait until the engine
runs normally.
If the vehicle is running on E85, the engine may stall. In this case, restart the
engine, repeatedly if necessary.
■ 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.)
Start the engine of the second vehicle. Increase the engine
speed slightly and maintain at that level for approximately 5
minutes to recharge the battery of your vehicle.
Maintain the engine speed of the second vehicle and start
the vehicle’s engine.
Once the vehicle’s engine has started, remove the jumper
cables in the exact reverse order in which they were con-
nected.
Once the engine starts, have the vehicle checked at your Toyota
dealer as soon as possible.

When working with the battery, always wear safety glasses and take care
not to allow any battery fluids (acid) to come into contact with skin, clothing
or the vehicle body.
●

●In the event that battery fluid comes into contact with the skin or eyes,
immediately wash the affected area with water and seek medical attention.

can be received.
● Always wash your hands after handling the battery support, terminals, and
other battery-related parts.
