matic transmission)
The engine cannot be started by push-starting.
Q To prevent battery discharge
O Turn off the headlights and the audio system while the engine is off.
(Vehicles with Stop & Start system: Except when the engine is stopped due
to the Stop & Start system)
O Turn off any unnecessary electrical components when the vehicle is running
at a low speed for an extended period, such as in heavy traffic.
Q When the battery is removed or discharged
O Information stored in the ECU is cleared. When the battery is depleted, have
the vehicle inspected at any authorized Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized
repairer, or any reliable repairer.
O The power windows may not close normally. In this case, initialize the power
windows. (if equipped) ( P. 187)
O If it is necessary to initialize the panoramic view monitor (if equipped), refer
to “Navigation and multimedia system Owner’s manual” or “Multimedia
Owner’s Manual”.
Q 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.)
