6688-2. Steps to take in an emergency
Once the engine starts, have the
vehicle inspected at your Toyota
dealer as soon as possible.
■Starting the engine when the
battery is discharged
The engine cannot be started by
push-starting.
■To prevent battery discharge
●Turn off the headlights and the
audio system while the engine is
stopped.
(Vehicles with Stop & Start system:
Except when the engine is stopped
due to the Stop & Start system)
●Turn off any unnec essary electri-
cal components when the vehicle
is running at a low speed for an
extended period, such as in heavy
traffic.
■When the battery is removed or
discharged
●Information stor ed in the ECU is
cleared. When the battery is
depleted, have the vehicle
inspected at your Toyota dealer.
●Some systems may require initial-
ization. ( P.712)
■When removing the battery ter-
minals
When the battery terminals are
removed, the information stored in
the ECU is cleared . Before remov-
ing the battery terminals, contact
your Toyota dealer.
■Charging the battery
The electricity stor ed in the battery
will discharge gradu ally even when
the vehicle is not i n use, due to nat-
ural discharge and the draining
effects of certain electrical appli-
ances. If the vehicle is left for a long
time, the battery may discharge,
and the engine ma y be unable to
start. (The battery recharges auto-
matically during driving.)
■When recharging or replacing
the battery (vehicles without
smart key start system)
The engine may not start on the first
attempt after th e battery has
recharged but will start normally
after the second attempt. This is not
a malfunction.
■When recharging or replacing
the battery (vehicles with smart
key system)
●In some cases, it may not be pos-
sible to unlock the doors using the
smart key system when the bat-
tery is discharged. Use the wire-
less remote control or the
mechanical key to lock or unlock
the doors.
●The engine may not start on the
first attempt after the battery has
recharged but will start normally
after the second attempt. This is
not a malfunction.
●The engine switch mode is memo-
rized by the vehicle. When the
battery is reconnected, the system
will return to the mode it was in
before the bat tery was dis-
charged. Before disconnecting the
battery, turn the engine switch to
OFF.
If you are unsure what mode the
engine switch wa s in before the
battery discharged, be especially
careful when reconnecting the
battery.
■When the battery is removed or
discharged (vehicles with Stop
& Start system)
The Stop & Start system may not
automatically stop the engine for up
to an hour.
■When replacing the battery
●Vehicles with Stop & Start system:
Use a genuine battery specifically
designed for use with the Stop &
Start system or a battery with equiv-
alent specifications to a genuine
battery. If an unsup ported battery is
used, Stop & Start system functions
