tire chains.
Use only Toyota genuine balance
weights or equivalent and a plas-
tic or rubber hammer when bal-
ancing your wheels.
1 Turn the power switch off.
Confirm that the charging connector is

WARNING
■While towing
●When towing using cables or
chains, avoid sudden starts, etc., which place excessive stress on the towing eyelets, cables or chains.
The towing eyelets, cables or chains may become damaged, bro-ken debris may hit people, and
cause serious damage.

as doing so may cause the parking lock mechanism to engage, locking the front wheels and possibly lead-
ing to an accident resulting in death or serious injury:
• Unfasten the driver’s seat belt and open the driver’s door.
• Turn the power switch off.
■Installing towing eyelets to the
vehicle
Make sure that towing eyelets are installed securely. If not securely
installed, towing eyelets may come loose during towing.
NOTICE
■To prevent damage to the vehicle during emergency towing
Do not secure cables or chains to the
suspension components.
If you think something is
wrong
If you notice any of the follow-
ing symptoms, your vehicle
probably needs adjustment or
repair. Contact any authorized
Toyota retailer or Toyota

8-2. Steps to take in an emergency
■Stopping the EV system
Set the parking brake, shift the shift
position to P and press the power switch as you normally do when stopping the EV system.
■Electronic key battery
As the above procedure is a temporary measure, it is recommended that the electronic key battery be replaced
immediately when the battery is depleted. ( P.499)
■Alarm (if equipped)
Using the mechanical key to lock the
doors will not set the alarm system. If a door is unlocked using the mechani-cal key when the alarm system is set,
the alarm may be triggered. ( P. 7 7 )
■Changing power switch modes
Release the brake pedal and press the power switch in step 3 above.
The EV system does not start and modes will be changed each time the switch is pressed. ( P.246)
If you have a set of jumper (or
booster) cables and a second vehi-
cle with a 12-volt battery, you can
jump start your vehicle by following
the steps below.
1 Confirm that the electronic key
is being carried.
When connecting the jumper (or
booster) cables, depending on the situ- ation, the alarm may activate and the doors may lock. ( P.78)
2Open the hood (P.467).

authorized repairer, or any reli-
able repairer.

5 Start the engine of the second
vehicle. Increase the engine
speed slightly and maintain at
that level for approximately 5
minutes to recharge the 12-volt
battery of your vehicle.
6 Open and close any of the doors
of your vehicle with the power
switch OFF.
7 Maintain the engine speed of
the second vehicle and start the
EV system of your vehicle by

When trouble arises
order from which they were con-
nected.
10 Close the positive (+) battery
terminal cover.
Once the EV system starts, have
the vehicle inspected at any autho-
rized Toyota retailer or Toyota
authorized repairer, or any reliable
repairer as soon as possible.
■Starting the EV system when the 12-volt battery is discharged
The EV system cannot be started by push-starting.
■To prevent 12-volt battery dis-charge
●Turn off the headlights, the air condi-tioning system, the audio system, etc.
while the EV system is off.
●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.
■Charging the 12-volt battery
The electricity stored in the 12-volt bat- tery will discharge gradually even when the vehicle is not in use, due to natural
discharge and the draining effects of certain electrical appliances. If the vehi-cle is left for a long time, the 12-volt bat-
tery may discharge, and the EV system may be unable to start. (The 12-volt bat-tery recharges automatically while the
EV system is operating.)
■When the 12-volt battery is removed or discharged
●Information stored in the ECU is cleared. When the 12-volt battery is depleted, have the vehicle inspected
at any authorized Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or any reli-able repairer.
●In some cases, it may not be possible to unlock the doors using the smart
entry & start system when the 12-volt
battery is discharged. Use the wire-
less remote control or the mechanical key to lock or unlock the doors.
●The EV system may not start on the first attempt after the 12-volt battery has recharged but will start normally
after the second attempt. This is not a malfunction.
●The power switch mode is memorized by the vehicle. When the 12-volt bat-tery is reconnected, the system will
return to the mode it was in before the 12-volt battery was discharged. Before disconnecting the 12-volt bat-
tery, turn the power switch off. If you are unsure what mode the power switch was in before the 12-volt
battery discharged, be especially careful when reconnecting the 12-volt battery.
●If the 12-volt battery discharges, it may not be possible to shift the shift
position to other positions. In this case, the vehicle cannot be towed without lifting both front wheels
because the front wheels will be locked.
●The power back door (if equipped) must be initialized. ( P.198)
■When replacing the 12-volt battery
●Use a 12-volt battery that conforms to European regulations.
●Use a 12-volt battery that the case size is same as the previous one (LN1), 20 hour rate capacity (20HR) is
equivalent (45Ah) or greater, and per- formance rating (CCA) is equivalent (286A) or greater.
• If the sizes differ, the 12-volt battery cannot be properly secured.• If an improper 12-volt battery is used,
battery performance may decrease and the EV system may not be able to restart.
• 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 12-
volt battery may discharge and EV system may not be able to start.
