■Before recharging
When recharging, the 12-volt battery produces hydrogen gas which is flam-
mable and explosive. Therefore, obser ve the following precautions before
recharging:
● If recharging with the 12-volt battery installed on the vehicle, be sure to dis-
connect the ground cable.
● Make sure the power switch on the charger is off when connecting and dis-
connecting the charger cables to the 12-volt battery.
■ When disconnecting the 12-volt battery terminals
Always disconnect the negative (-) terminal first.
■ After recharging/reconnecting the 12-volt battery (vehicles with a smart
entry & start system)
● Unlocking the doors using entry function of the smart entry & start system
may not be possible immediately after reconnecting the 12-volt battery. If
this happens, use the wireless remote control or the mechanical key to lock/
unlock the doors.
● Start the hybrid system with the power switch in ACCESSORY mode. The
hybrid system may not start with the power switch turned off. However, the
hybrid system will operate normally from the second attempt.
● The power switch mode is recorded by the vehicle. If the 12-volt battery is
reconnected, the vehicle will return the power switch mode to the status it
was in before the 12-volt battery was disconnected. Make sure to turn off
the power before disconnect the 12-volt battery. Take extra care when con-
necting the 12-volt battery if the power switch mode prior to discharge is
unknown.
If the system will not start even after multiple attempts, contact any authorized
Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or any reliable repairer.

■ Precautions when the 12-volt battery is discharged (vehicles with a
smart entry & start system)
● 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.
● The power switch mode is memorized by the vehicle. When the 12-volt bat-
tery 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 retailer or
Toyota authorized repairer, or any reliable repairer as soon as possible. If
the 12-volt battery is deteriorating, continued use may cause the 12-volt
battery to emit a malodorous gas, whic h may be detrimental to the health of
passengers.
