■Before recharging
When recharging, the 12-volt battery produces hydrogen gas whic h is flam-
mable and explosive. Therefore, observe the following precautio ns before
recharging:
● If recharging with the 12-volt battery installed on the vehicle, be sure to dis-
connect the ground cable.
● Make sure the power switch on the charger is off when connecting and dis-
connecting the charger cables to the 12-volt battery.
■ After recharging/reconnecting the 12-volt battery
● The hybrid system may not start. Follow the procedure below to initialize the
system.
Shift the shift lever to P.
Open and close any of the doors.
Restart the hybrid system.
● Vehicles with entry function: Unlocking the doors using the smart entry &
start system may not be possible immediately after reconnecting the 12-volt
battery. If this happens, use the wireless remote control or th e mechanical
key to lock/unlock the doors.
● Start the hybrid system with the power switch in ACCESSORY mode. The
hybrid system may not start with the power switch turned off. H owever, the
hybrid system will operate normally from the second attempt.
● The power switch mode is recorded by the vehicle. If the 12-volt battery is
reconnected, the vehicle will return the power switch mode to t he status it
was in before the 12-volt battery was disconnected. Make sure t o turn off
the power switch before disconnect the 12-volt battery. Take ex tra care
when connecting the 12-volt battery if the power switch mode pr ior to dis-
charge is unknown.
If the system will not start even after multiple attempts at al l methods above,

Maintenance and care
■Cleaning the air intake vent
● Dust in the air intake vent may interfere with the cooling of the hybrid battery
(traction battery). If charging/discharging of the hybrid batte ry (traction bat-
tery) becomes limited, the distance that the vehicle can be dri ven using the
electric motor (traction motor) may be reduced and the fuel eco nomy may
be reduced. Inspect and clean the air intake vent periodically.
● Improper handling of the air intake vent cover and filter may result in dam-
age to them. If you have any concerns about cleaning the filter , contact any
authorized Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or an y reliable
repairer.
■ If “Maintenance required for Traction battery cooling parts See owner’s
manual.” is shown on the multi-information display
● If this message is shown on the multi-information display, remove the air
