Charging the 12-volt battery
The electricity stored in the 12-volt battery w ill discharge gradually even when the vehicle
is not in use, due to natural discharge and the draining effects of certain electrical appli-
ances. 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.) ■
When the 12-volt battery is removed or discharged ●
In some cases, it may not be possible to un lock the doors using the smart access system
with push-button start 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 battery is
reconnected, the system will retu rn to the mode it was in be fore the 12-volt battery was
discharged. Before disconnect ing the 12-volt battery, turn the power switch off.
If you are unsure what mode the power switch was in before the 12-volt battery dis-
charged, be especially careful when reconnecting the 12-volt battery. ●
The power back door must be initialized. ( → P. 150)■
When replacing the 12-volt battery ●
RX450h: Use a Central Degassing type 12 -volt battery (European Regulations).
RX450hL: Use a 12-volt battery designed for this vehicle. ●
RX450h: Use a 12-volt battery that the case size is same as the previous one (LN2),
20 hour rate capacity (20HR) is equivalent (60Ah) or greater, and performance rating
(CCA) is equivalent (460A) 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 vehicle is not
used is a short time, the 12-volt battery may discharge and the hybrid system may
not be able to start.
