7-2. Steps to take in an emergency
When trouble arises
■Starting the engine when the bat- tery 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.
●Turn off any unnecessary electrical components when the vehicle is run-ning at a low speed for an extended
period, such as in heavy traffic.
■When the battery is removed or dis- charged
●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.
●Some systems may require initializa-tion. ( P.361)
■When removing the battery termi-
nals
When the battery terminals are removed, the information stored in the
ECU is cleared. Before removing the battery terminals, contact any autho-rized Toyota retailer or Toyota autho-
rized repairer, or any reliable repairer.
■Charging the battery
The electricity stored in the battery will
discharge gradually even when the vehi- cle is not in use, due to natural dis-charge and the draining effects of
certain electrical appliances. If the vehi- cle is left for a long time, the battery may discharge, and the engine may be
unable to start. (The battery recharges automatically during driving.)
■When recharging or replacing the battery
●In some cases, it may not be possible to unlock the doors using the smart
entry & start system when the battery is discharged. Use the wireless 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 mal-function.
●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 discharged. Before discon-
necting the battery, turn the engine switch off.If you are unsure what mode the
engine switch was in before the bat- tery discharged, be especially careful when reconnecting the battery.
●The Stop & Start system may not automatically stop the engine for up to
an hour.
■When replacing the battery
●Use a genuine battery specifically
designed for use with the Stop & Start system or a battery with equivalent specifications to a genuine battery. If
an unsupported battery is used, Stop & Start system functions may be restricted to protect the battery. Also,
battery performance may decrease and the engine may not be able to restart. Contact any authorized Toyota
retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or any reliable repairer for details.
●Use a battery that conforms to Euro-pean regulations.
●Use a battery that the case size is same as the previous one, 20 hour rate capacity (20HR) is equivalent or
greater, and performance rating (CCA) is equivalent or greater. Check the label on top of the battery for the
battery size and specifications (ex. LN2, 60Ah, 584A).• If the sizes differ, the battery cannot
be properly secured. • If the 20 hour rate capacity is low, even if the time period where the vehi-
cle is not used is a short time, the bat- tery may discharge and the engine may not be able to start.

engine coolant is unavailable.
6 Start the engine and turn the air
conditioning system on to check
that the radiator cooling fan
operate and to check for coolant
leaks from the radiator or hoses.
The fan operate when the air condition-
ing system is turned on immediately after a cold start. Confirm that the fan is operating by checking the fan sound
and air flow. If it is difficult to check these, turn the air conditioning system on and off repeatedly. (The fan may not
operate in freezing temperatures.)
7 If the fan is not operating: Stop
the engine immediately and
contact any authorized Toyota
retailer or Toyota authorized
repairer, or any reliable repairer.
If the fan is operating: Have the
vehicle inspected at the nearest
any authorized Toyota retailer or
Toyota authorized repairer, or
any reliable repairer.
WARNING
■When inspecting under the hood of your vehicle
Observe the following precautions.
Failure to do so may result in serious injury such as burns.
●If steam is seen coming from under the hood, do not open the hood until the steam has subsided. The
engine compartment may be very hot.
●Keep hands and clothing (espe-cially a tie, a scarf or a muffler) away from the fan and belts. Failure
to do so may cause the hands or clothing to be caught, resulting in serious injury.
●Do not loosen the coolant reservoir caps while the engine and radiator
are hot. High temperature steam or coolant could spray out.
NOTICE
■When adding engine coolant
Add coolant slowly after the engine has cooled down sufficiently. Adding
cool coolant to a hot engine too quickly can cause damage to the engine.
■To prevent damage to the cooling system
Observe the following precautions:
●Avoid contaminating the coolant
with foreign matter (such as sand or dust etc.).
●Do not use any coolant additive.

If the vehicle becomes
stuck
Carry out the following proce-

vehicle becomes stuck in mud,
dirt or snow:
Recovering procedureWARNING
■When attempting to free a stuck vehicle
If you choose to push the vehicle
back and forth to free it, make sure the surrounding area is clear to avoid striking other vehicles, objects or peo-
ple. The vehicle may also lunge for- ward or lunge back suddenly as it becomes free. Use extreme caution.
■When shifting the shift lever
Be careful not to shift the shift lever
with the accelerator pedal depressed. This may lead to unexpected rapid acceleration of the vehicle that may
cause an accident resulting in death or serious injury.
NOTICE
■To avoid damaging the transmis-sion and other components
●Avoid spinning the front wheels and depressing the accelerator pedal more than necessary.
●If the vehicle remains stuck even after these procedures are per-
formed, the vehicle may require towing to be freed.
