■If the tire is inflated to more than the specified air pressure
Check that the air pressure indicator shows the specified air pressure.
If the air pressure is under the designated pressure, turn the compressor
switch on again and repeat the inflation procedure until the specified air
pressure is reached.
■ The tire pressure warning valve and transmitter
● After a tire is repaired with the emergency tire puncture repair kit should be
replaced.
● Even if the tire inflation pressure is at the recommended level, the tire pres-
sure warning light may come on/flash.
■ Note for checking the emergency tire puncture repair kit
Check the sealant expiry date occasionally.
The expiry date is shown on the bottle. Do not use sealant whose expiry date
has already passed. Otherwise, repairs conducted using the emergency tire
puncture repair kit may not be performed properly.
■ Emergency tire puncture repair kit
● The sealant stored in the emergency tire puncture repair kit can be used
only once to temporarily repair a single tire. If the sealant has been used
and needs to be replaced, purchase a new bottle at any authorized Toyota
dealer or repairer, or another duly qualified and equipped professional. The
compressor is reusable.
● The sealant can be used when the outside temperature is from -30°C
(-22°F) to 60°C (140°F).
● The repair kit is exclusively designed for size and type of tires originally
installed on your vehicle. Do not use it for tires that a different size than the
original ones, or for any other purposes.

If the hybrid system will not start
One of the following may be the cause of the problem:
● Vehicles with a smart entry & start system: The electronic key may
not be functioning properly. ( P. 442)

Refuel the vehicle. ( P. 208)
● There may be a malfunction in the immobilizer system. (P. 8 4 )
● There may be a malfunction in the steering lock system.
● The hybrid system may be malfunctioning due to an electrical prob-
lem such as electronic key battery depletion or a blown fuse. How-
ever, depending on the type of malfunction, an interim measure is
available to start the hybrid system. ( P. 439)
One of the following may be the cause of the problem:
● The 12-volt battery may be discharged. (P. 443)
● The 12-volt battery terminal connections may be loose or corroded.
( P. 335)
Reasons for the hybrid system not starting vary depending on
the situation. Check the following and perform the appropriate
procedure:
The hybrid system will not start even though the correct starting
procedure is being followed. ( P. 178, 182)
The interior lights and headlights are dim, or the horn does not

Connect the jumper cables according to the following procedure.
Connect a positive jumper cable clamp to the exclusive jump start-
ing terminal on your vehicle.
Connect the clamp on the other end of the positive cable to the pos-
itive (+) battery terminal on the second vehicle.
Connect a negative cable clamp to the negative (-) battery terminal
on the second vehicle.
Connect the clamp at the other end of the negative cable to a solid,
stationary, unpainted metallic point away from the exclusive jump
starting terminal and any moving parts as shown in the illustration.
Start the engine of the second vehicle. Increase the engine speed
slightly and maintain it at that level for approximately 5 minutes to
recharge the 12-volt battery of your vehicle.
Open and close any of the doors of your vehicle with the power
switch is in the “LOCK” position (vehicles without a smart entry &
start system) or off (vehicles with a smart entry & start system).

Maintain the engine speed of the second vehicle and start the
hybrid system of your vehicle by turning the power switch to “ON”
position (vehicles without a smart entry & start system) or ON mode
(vehicles with a smart entry & start system).
Make sure the “READY” indicator comes on. If the indicator does
not come on, contact any authorized Toyota dealer or repairer, or
another duly qualified and equipped professional.
Once the hybrid system has started, remove the jumper cables in
the exact reverse order from which they were connected.
Close the exclusive jump starting terminal cover, and reinstall the
fuse box cover to its original position.
When installing, first hook the fuse box cover onto the two rear
tabs.
Once the hybrid system starts, have the vehicle inspected at any
authorized Toyota dealer or repairer, or another duly qualified and
equipped professional as soon as possible.
■ Starting the hybrid system when the 12-volt battery is discharged
The hybrid system cannot be started by push-starting.
■ To prevent 12-volt battery discharge
● Turn off the headlights and the audio system while the hybrid system 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 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 operating.)

■ Precautions when the 12-volt battery is discharged
● In some cases, it may not be possible to unlock the doors using entry func-
tion of the smart entry & start system immediately after the 12-volt battery
has been disconnected and reconnected. 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.
● Vehicles with a smart entry & start system: The power switch mode is mem-
orized by the vehicle. When the 12-volt battery 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 the
power switch was in ACCESSORY or ON mode before the 12-volt battery
was discharged, the audio system and/or air conditioning system may oper-
ate when the 12-volt battery is reconnected.
WARNING
■ 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 and that
it is not unintentionally in contact with anything other than the intended ter-
minal.
● Do not allow the other end of the jumper cable connected to the “+” termi-
nal to come into contact with any other parts or metal surfaces in the area,
such as brackets or unpainted metal.
● Do not allow the + and - clamps 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.
■ After recharging the 12-volt battery
Have the 12-volt battery inspected at any authorized Toyota dealer or
repairer, or another duly qualified and equipped professional as soon as
possible. If the 12-volt battery is deteriorating, continued use may cause the
12-volt battery to emit a malodorous gas, which may be detrimental to the
health of passengers.

If your vehicle overheats
●The high engine coolant temperature warning light (P. 396)
comes on or flashes, or a loss of hybrid system power is experi-
enced. (For example, the vehicle speed does not increase.)
