When trouble arises
■When replacing the 12-volt battery
●Use a Central Degassing type 12-volt battery (European Regulati ons).
● Vehicles  without  a  moon  roof:  Use  a  12-volt  battery  that  the  case  size  is
same as the previous one (LN2), 20 hour rate capacity (20HR) is  equivalent
(55Ah)  or  greater,  and  performance  rating  (CCA)  is  equivalent  ( 345A)  or
greater.
Vehicles with a moon roof: Use a 12-volt battery that the case size is same
as  the  previous  one  (LN2),  20  hour  rate  capacity  (20HR)  is  equi valent
(60Ah)  or  greater,  and  performance  rating  (CCA)  is  equivalent  ( 563A)  or
greater.
• If the sizes differ, the 12-volt battery cannot be properly se cured.
• If the 20 hour rate capacity is low, even if the time period w here the vehi-
cle is not used is a short time, the 12-volt battery may discha rge and the
hybrid system may not be able to start.
● Use  a  12-volt  battery  with  a  handle.  If  a  12-volt  battery  witho ut  a  handle  is
used, removal is more difficult.
For details, consult your Toyota dealer. ● After  replacing,  firmly  attach  the  follow-
ing  items to  the exhaust  hole  of the  12-
volt battery.
• Use  the  exhaust  hose  that  was
attached to the 12-volt battery before
replacing  and  confirm  that  it  is  firmly
connected  to  the  hole  section  of  the
vehicle.
• Use  the  exhaust  hole  plug  included with  the  12-volt  battery  replaced  or
the  one  installed  on  the  battery  prior
to  the  replacement.  (Depending  on
the 12-volt battery to be replaced, the
exhaust hole may be plugged.)
