Disconnecting the battery
In order to maintain an adequate state of charge for starting the engine, we recommend disconnecting the battery if the vehicle is to be unused for an extended period.Before disconnecting the battery:► close all doors, windows and the tailgate and sunroof,► switch off all electricity consuming devices (audio system, wipers, headlamps, etc.),► switch off the ignition and wait for four minutes.At the battery, it is only necessary to disconnect the (+) terminal.

WARNI NG
Do not force the lever as it will not be possible to lock the clamp if it is not positioned correctly; start the procedure again.
Following reconnection
After reconnecting the battery, turn on the ignition and wait 1 minute before starting the engine, to enable the electronic systems to initialise.However, if minor problems persist following this operation, contact a TOYOTA dealer or a qualified workshop.Referring to the corresponding section, you must reset certain systems yourself, such as:– the remote control key or the electronic key (depending on version),– the electric windows,– the electric doors,– the date and time,– the radio preset stations.
NOTIC E
The Stop & Start system may not be operational during the trip following the first engine start.In this case, the system will only be
available again after a continuous period of immobilisation of the vehicle, a period which depends on the exterior temperature and the state of charge of the battery (up to about 8 hours).
