considered that the wireless charger is malfunctioning. Contact your Toyota
dealer.
■ To prevent failure or damage to data
● Do not bring magnetic cards, such as credit cards, or magnetic recording
media, etc., close to the charger while charging, otherwise, da ta may dis-
appear under the influence of magnetism. Also, do not bring pre cision
instruments such as wrist watches, etc., close to the charger, as such
objects may break.
● Do not leave portable devices in the cabin. The temperature ins ide the
cabin may become high, when under the sun, and cause damage to the

Maintenance and care
Install the 12-volt battery cover.
■Before recharging
When recharging, the 12-volt battery produces hydrogen gas which is flam-
mable and explosive. Therefore, observe the following precautio ns 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 connectin g and dis-
connecting the charger cables to the 12-volt battery.
■ After recharging/reconnecting the 12-volt battery
●Unlocking the doors using the smart key system may not be possi ble imme-
diately after reconnecting the 12-volt battery. If this happens, use the wire-
less remote control or the mechanical key to lock/unlock the do ors.
● Start the fuel cell system with the power switch in ACCESSORY m ode. The
fuel cell system may not start with the power switch turned off. However, the
fuel cell system will operate normally from the second attempt.
● The power switch mode is recorded by the vehicle. If the 12-vol t battery is
reconnected, the vehicle will return the power switch mode to t he status it
was in before the 12-volt battery was disconnected. Make sure t o turn off
the power before disconnect the 12-volt battery. Take extra car e when con-
necting the 12-volt battery if the power switch mode prior to d ischarge is
unknown.
● When the 12-volt battery is reconnected, start the fuel cell sy stem, depress
the brake pedal, and confirm that it is possible to shift into each shift posi-
tion.
If the system will not start even after multiple attempts at al l methods above,
contact your Toyota dealer.

When trouble arises
■If “Shift System Malfunction Shi fting Unavailable See Owner’s M anual”
is displayed
The shift position may not be able to be shifted from P to a position other than
P.
Contact your Toyota dealer immediately.
■ If “Shift System Malfunction When Parking, Apply Parking Brake
Securely then See Owner’s Manual” is displayed
●The parking lock mechanism may not operate.
● The automatically P position selection function ( P. 191) may not operate.
● The power switch may not turn off. In that case, engage the par king brake
and the switch can be turned to off.
● The fuel cell system may not be able to be started.
When parking, choose a flat surface and be sure to engage the p arking
brake.
Have the vehicle inspected by your Toyota dealer immediately.
■ If “[P] Switch Malfunction When Parking, Apply Parking Brake Se curely
then See Owner’s Manual” is displayed
The shift position may not switch to P even though the P position switch is
pressed.
When parking, choose a flat surface and be sure to engage the p arking
brake.
Have the vehicle inspected by your Toyota dealer immediately.
■ If “Shift System Malfunction See Owner’s Manual” is displayed
If left as is, the system may not operate properly and an unexp ected hazard
or damage may occur.
Have the vehicle inspected by your Toyota dealer immediately.

Make sure the “READY” indicator comes on. If the indicator does
not come on, contact your Toyota dealer.
Once the fuel cell system has started, remove the jumper cables in
the exact reverse order from which they were connected.
Close the exclusive jump starting terminal cover, reinstall the motor
cover and the fuse box cover to its original position.
Once the fuel cell system starts, have the vehicle inspected at your
Toyota dealer as soon as possible.
■ Starting the fuel cell system when the 12-volt battery is discharged
The fuel cell system cannot be started by push-starting.
■ To prevent 12-volt battery discharge
●Turn off the headlights and the audio system while the fuel cell 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 gr adually even when
the vehicle is not in use, due to natural discharge and the dra ining effects of
certain electrical appliances. If the vehicle is left for a lon g time, the 12-volt
battery may discharge, and the fuel cell system may be unable to start. (The
12-volt battery recharges automatically while the fuel cell sys tem is operat-
ing.)
■ When the 12-volt battery is removed or discharged
● In some cases, it may not be possible to unlock the doors using the smart
key system when the 12-volt battery is discharged. Use the wire less remote
control or the mechanical key to lock or unlock the doors.
● The fuel cell system may not start on the first attempt after t he 12-volt bat-
tery has recharged but will start normally after the second att empt. 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 you are unsure what mode the power switch was in before the 12-volt bat-
tery discharged, be especially careful when reconnecting the 12 -volt battery.
● If the 12-volt battery is depleted with the shift position in P , it will not be pos-
sible to shift the shift position other than P. In this case, the vehicle cannot
be towed without lifting both front wheels because the front wheels are
locked by the parking lock. ( P. 412)

WARNING
■12-volt battery precautions
The 12-volt battery contains poisonous and corrosive acidic ele ctrolyte,
while related parts contain lead and lead compounds. Observe th e following
precautions when handling the 12-volt battery:
● When working with the 12-volt battery, always wear safety glass es and
take care not to allow any 12-volt battery fluids (acid) to come into contact
with skin, clothing or the vehicle body.
● Do not lean over the 12-volt battery.
● In the event that 12-volt battery fluid comes into contact with the skin or
eyes, immediately wash the affected area with water and seek me dical
attention.
Place a wet sponge or cloth over the affected area until medica l attention
can be received.
● Always wash your hands after handling the 12-volt battery suppo rt, termi-
nals, and other battery-related parts.
● Do not allow children near the 12-volt battery.
■ After recharging the 12-volt battery
Have the 12-volt battery inspected at your Toyota dealer as soo n as possi-
ble.
If the 12-volt battery is deteriorating, continued use may caus e the 12-volt
battery to emit a malodorous gas, which may be detrimental to the health of
passengers.
■ When exchanging the 12-volt battery
After exchanging, securely attach the exhaust hose and exhaust hole plug
to the exhaust hole of the exchanged 12-volt battery. If not pr operly
installed, gases (hydrogen) may leak into the vehicle interior, and there is
the possible danger of the gas igniting and exploding.
■ When replacing the 12-volt battery
P. 376
NOTICE
■To prevent damaging the vehicle
The exclusive jump starting terminal is to be used when chargin g the 12-volt
battery from another vehicle in an emergency. It cannot be used to jump
start another vehicle.
■ When handling jumper cables
When connecting the jumper cables, ensure that they do not beco me entan-
gled in the cooling fans.
