When trouble arises
■When the battery is removed or
discharged
Information stored in the ECU is
cleared. When the battery is
depleted, have the vehicle
inspected at your Toyota dealer.
■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 in 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
●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 battery was dis-
charged. Before disconnecting the
battery, turn the engine switch off.
If you are unsure what mode the
engine switch was in before the
battery discharged, be especially
careful when reconnecting the
battery.
WARNING
■When removing the battery
terminals
Always remove the negative (-)
terminal first. If the positive (+) ter-
minal contacts any metal in the
surrounding area when the posi-
tive (+) terminal is removed, a
spark may occur, leading to a fire
in addition to ele ctrical shocks
and death or serious injury.
■Avoiding battery fires or
explosions
Observe the following precautions
to prevent accidentally igniting the
flammable gas that may be emit-
ted from the battery:
●Make sure each jumper cable is
connected to the correct termi-
nal and that it is not unintention-
ally in contact with any other
than the intended terminal.
●Do not allow the + and - clamps
of the jumper cables to come
into contact with each other.
●Do not smoke, use matches,
cigarette lighter s or allow open
flame near the battery.
■Battery precautions
The battery contains poisonous
and corrosive acidic electrolyte,
while related parts contain lead
and lead compounds. Observe
the following precautions when
handling the battery:
●When working with the battery,
always wear safety glasses and
take care not to allow any bat-
tery fluids (acid) to come into
contact with skin, clothing or the
vehicle body.
●Do not lean over the battery.
3747-2. Steps to take in an emergency
1Stop the vehicle in a safe
place and turn off the air con-
ditioning system, and then
stop the engine.
2 If you see steam: Carefully lift
the hood after the steam sub-
sides.
If you do not see steam:
Carefully lift the hood.

WARNING
●In the event that battery fluid
comes into contact with the skin
or eyes, immediately wash the
affected area with water and
seek medical attention. Place a
wet sponge or cloth over the
affected area until medical
attention can be received.
●Always wash your hands after
handling the battery support,
terminals, and other bat-
tery-related parts.
●Do not allow child ren near the
battery.
■To prevent damage to the
vehicle
Do not pull- or push-start the vehi-
cle as the three-way catalytic con-
verter may overheat and become
a fire hazard.
NOTICE
■When handling jumper cables
Be careful that the jumper cables
do not become tangled in the
cooling fans or any of the belts
when connecting or disconnecting
them.
■When closing the doors
While pushing the door glass
towards the inside of the vehicle,
slowly close the door.
Because the side window
open/close function linked to door
operation will no t operate, the
window may inte rfere with the
vehicle body, possibly scratching
both the vehicle body and win-
dow, or even shattering the win-
d o w.
If your vehicle over-
heats
The following may indicate
that your vehicle is over-
heating.
The engine coolant tem-
perature gauge ( P.88) is
in the red zone or a loss of
engine power is experi-
enced. (For example, the
vehicle speed does not
increase.)

■Oil capacity (Drain and refill [Reference*])
*: The engine oil capacity is a reference quantity to be used whe n changing
the engine oil. Warm up and turn off the engine, wait more than 5 min-
utes, and check the oil level on the dipstick.
■Engine oil selection
“Toyota Genuine Motor Oil” is
used in your Toyota vehicle. Use
Toyota approved “Toyota Genu-
ine Motor Oil” or equivalent to
satisfy the following grade and
viscosity.
Oil grade: ILSAC GF-5 multi-
grade engine oil
Recommended viscosity: SAE
0W-20
SAE 0W-20 is the best choice
for good fuel economy and good
starting in cold weather.
If SAE 0W-20 is not available,
SAE 5W-20 oil may be used.
However, it must be replaced
with SAE 0W-20 at the next oil
change. Outside temperature
Oil viscosity (0W-20 is explained
here as an example):
• The 0W in 0W-20 indicates the characteristic of the oil
which allows cold startability.
Oils with a lower value before
the W allow for easier starting
of the engine in cold weather.
• The 20 in 0W-20 indicates the viscosity characteristic of the
oil when the oil is at high tem-
perature. An oil with a higher
viscosity (one with a higher
value) may be better suited if
the vehicle is operated at high
speeds, or under extreme
load conditions.
