Once the vehicle’s engine has started, remove the jumper cables in 
the exact reverse order from which they were connected. 
Once the engine starts, have the vehicle inspected at any authorized 
Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or any reliable repairer 
as soon as possible.
 Q Starting the engine when the battery is discharged (vehicles with auto- 
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.)
