When trouble arises
Connect the jumper cables according to the following procedures:Connect a positive jumper cable clamp to the positive (+) battery
terminal on your vehicle
Connect the clamp on the other e nd of the positive cable to the
positive (+) battery terminal on the second vehicle
Connect a negative cable clamp to the negative (-) battery termi-
nal 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 battery
and any moving parts, as shown in the illustration.
Start the engine of the second vehicle. Increase the engine speed
slightly and maintain at that le vel for approximately 5 minutes to
recharge the batter y of your vehicle.
Vehicles with a smart key system only: Open and close any of the
doors of your vehicle with the engine switch off.
Maintain the engine speed of t he second vehicle and start the
engine of your vehicle by turni ng the engine switch to the “ON”
position (vehicles without a smart key system) or turning the engine
switch to IGNITION ON mode (v ehicles with a smart key system).
Once the vehicle’s engine has started, remove the jumper cables in
the exact reverse order from which they were connected.
To install the engine cover, conduct the removal procedure in
reverse. After installing, check that the fixed pins are inserted
securely.
Once the engine starts, have the vehicle inspected at your Toyota
dealer as soon as possible.4

■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.
■ When the battery is removed or discharged
●The power sliding door (if equipped) must be initialized. ( P. 128)
● The power back door (if equipped) must be initialized. ( P. 138)
■ 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.)
