Starting using another
battery
If the vehicle's battery is flat, the engine can be started using a backup battery (either external or from another vehicle) and jump leads or using a battery booster.
WARNI NG
Never start the engine by connecting a battery charger.Never use a 24 V or higher battery booster.Check beforehand that the backup battery has a nominal voltage of 12 V and a capacity at least equal to that of the discharged battery.The two vehicles must not be in contact with each other.Switch off all electricity-consuming equipment on both vehicles (audio system, wipers, lighting, etc.).Make sure that the jump leads are well away from the engine’s moving parts (fan, belt, etc.).Do not disconnect the (+) terminal while the engine is running.


► Lift the plastic cover on the (+) terminal, if the vehicle has one.► Connect the red cable to the (+) terminal of flat battery A (at the metal elbow), then to the (+) terminal of the backup battery B or of the booster.► Connect one end of the green or black cable to the (-) terminal of the backup battery B or of the booster (or to an earth point on the assisting vehicle).► Connect the other end of the green or black cable to the earth point C.► Start the engine on the assisting vehicle and leave it running for a few minutes.► Operate the starter on the broken down vehicle and let the engine run.If the engine does not start immediately, switch off the ignition and wait a few moments before trying again.► Wait for it to return to idle.► Disconnect the jump leads in reverse order.
► Refit the plastic cover to the (+) terminal, if the vehicle has one.► Allow the engine to run for at least 30 minutes, with the vehicle stationary, so that the battery reaches an adequate state of charge.
WARNI NG
Driving immediately without having reached a sufficient level of charge may affect some of
the vehicle's functionalities.
WARNI NG
To disconnect, proceed in reverse order.
WARNI NG
Automatic gearboxNever try to start the engine by pushing the vehicle.
Charging the battery using a
battery charger
For optimum service life of the battery, it is essential to maintain an adequate state of
charge.In some circumstances, it may be necessary to charge the battery:

248
– When using the vehicle mainly for short journeys.– If the vehicle is to be taken off the road for several weeks.Consult any authorized Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or any reliable repairer.
WARNI NG
To charge the vehicle's battery yourself, use
only a charger compatible with lead-acid batteries with a nominal voltage of 12 V.
WARNI NG
Follow the instructions provided by the manufacturer of the charger.Never reverse polarities.
NOTIC E
It is not necessary to disconnect the battery.
► Switch the ignition off.► Switch off all electrical consumers (audio system, lighting, wipers, etc.).

► Switch off charger B before connecting the cables to the battery, so as to avoid any dangerous sparks.► Ensure that the charger cables are in good condition.► Lift the plastic cover on the (+) terminal, if the vehicle has one.► Connect the cables of charger B as follows:• the positive (+) red cable to the (+) terminal of battery A,• the negative (-) black cable to earth point C on the vehicle.► At the end of the charging operation, switch off charger B before disconnecting the cables from battery A.
WARNI NG
If this label is present, use only a 12 V charger to avoid causing irreversible damage to the electrical components.
24V
12V
WARNI NG
Never try to charge a frozen battery - risk of explosion!If the battery has frozen, have it checked by any authorized Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or any reliable repairer who will verify that the internal components have not been damaged and that the case has not cracked, which would mean a risk of toxic and corrosive acid leaking.
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 openings (doors, tailgate, windows).

249
In the event of a breakdown
8
► Switch off all electricity-consuming devices (audio system, wipers, lamps, etc.).► Switch off the ignition and wait for 4 minutes.After accessing the battery, it is only necessary to disconnect the (+) terminal.
Quick-release terminal clamp
Disconnecting the (+) terminal

► Depending on equipment, lift the plastic cover on the (+) terminal.► Raise lever A fully to release clamp B.
► Remove clamp B by lifting it off.
Reconnecting the (+) terminal

► Raise lever A fully.► Refit open clamp B on the (+) terminal.► Push clamp B fully down.► Lower lever A to lock clamp B.► Depending on equipment, lower the plastic cover on the (+) terminal.
WARNI NG
Do not force the lever, as it will not lock in place if the clamp 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.If minor problems nevertheless persist following this operation, contact any authorized Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or any reliable repairer.Referring to the relevant section, reinitialise certain equipment:– Remote control key or electronic key (depending on version).– Electric windows.– Electric doors,– Date and time.– Preset radio 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).

Frequently asked
questions
The following information groups together the answers to the most frequently asked questions concerning your audio system.With the engine off, the audio system switches off after a few minutes of use.When the engine is switched off, the audio system operating time depends on the state of charge of the battery.The switch-off is normal: the audio system switches to economy mode and switches off to avoid discharging the vehicle's battery.► Start the vehicle’s engine to increase the
charge of the battery.The message "the audio system is overheated" is displayed onscreen.To protect the installation if the ambient temperature is too high, the audio system switches to an automatic thermal protection mode, in which the volume may be decreased or the CD player stopped.► Switch the audio system off for a few minutes to allow the system to cool.
Radio
There is a difference in sound quality between the different audio sources (radio, CD, etc.).For optimal listening quality, the audio settings (Volume, Bass, Treble, Ambience and Loudness) can be adjusted to different audio sources, resulting in audible differences when switching between sources (radio, CD, etc.).► Check that the audio settings (Volume, Bass, Treble, Ambience and Loudness) are appropriate to the sources being listened to. We recommend setting the audio functions (Bass, Treble, Fr-Re balance and Le-Ri balance) to the middle position, setting the musical ambience to "None", setting loudness correction to "Active" in CD mode and "Inactive" in Radio mode.The preset stations do not function (no sound, 87.5 MHz is displayed, etc.).The wrong waveband is selected.► Press the BAND button to return to the waveband (FM, FM2, DAB, AM) on which the
stations are preset.Traffic announcement (TA) is shown but I receive no traffic information.The radio station is not part of the regional traffic information network.► Tune to a radio station that broadcasts traffic information.The reception quality of the tuned radio station gradually deteriorates or the station
presets are inoperative (no sound, 87.5 MHz is displayed, etc.).The vehicle is too far from the selected station’s transmitter, or no transmitter is present in the geographical area.► Activate the RDS function to allow the system to check for a more powerful transmitter in the area.The environment (hills, buildings, tunnels, basement car parks, etc.) may block reception, including in RDS mode.This is a perfectly normal phenomenon, and is not indicative of an audio system malfunction.The aerial is absent or has been damaged (for example when going through an automatic car wash or in an underground car park).► Have the aerial checked by a dealer.The sound intermittently cuts out for 1 or 2 seconds in radio mode.During this brief sound cut-out, the RDS searches for another frequency giving better reception of the station.► Switch off the RDS function if the
phenomenon occurs too frequently and always on the same route.
Media
The Bluetooth connection is cut.The battery in the peripheral device may not be sufficiently charged.► Charge the battery in the peripheral device.The message "USB device error" is displayed
in the screen.
