minutes to recharge the battery
of your vehicle.
5 Vehicles with a smart entry &
start system: Open and close
any of the doors of your vehicle
with the engine switch OFF.
6 Maintain the engine speed of
the second vehicle and start the
engine of your vehicle by turning
the engine switch to ON.
7 Once the vehicle’s engine has
started, remove the jumper
cables in the exact reverse
order from which they were con-
nected.
Once the engine starts, have the
vehicle inspected at any author-
ized Toyota reta iler or Toyota
authorized repairer, or any reliable
repairer as soon as possible.
■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.
(Vehicles with Stop & Start system: except when the engine is stopped by
the Stop & Start system.)
●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.587)
■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 author-
ized Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized 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 una-
ble to start. (The battery recharges auto- matically during driving.)
■When recharging or replacing the
battery
●Vehicles with a smart entry & start
system: In some cases, it may not be
possible to unlock the doors using the smart entry & star t system when the
battery is discharged. Use the wire-
less remote control or the mechanical key to lock or unlock the doors.
●Vehicles with a smart entry & start system: 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.
●Vehicles with a smart entry & start
system: The engine switch mode is
memorized by the vehicle. When the
battery is reconnected, the system will return to the mode it was in before the
battery was discharged. Before dis-
connecting 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.

When trouble arises
●Vehicles with Stop & Start system:
After the battery terminals have been disconnected and reconnected, or
after the battery has been replaced,
the Stop & Start system may not auto- matically stop the engine for approxi-
mately 5 to 60 minutes.
■When replacing the battery
●Use a battery that conforms to Euro-
pean regulations.
●Vehicles with Stop & Start system:
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 with the same case size as the previous battery and an equiva-
lent 20 hour rate capacity (20HR) or
greater. • 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.
●For details, consult any authorized Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized
repairer, or any reliable repairer.

■When removing the battery ter-
minals
Always remove the negative (-) termi-
nal first. If the positive (+) terminal
contacts any metal in the surrounding area when the positive (+) terminal is
removed, a spark may occur, leading
to a fire in addition to electrical shocks and death or serious injury.
■Avoiding battery fires or explo-sions
Observe the following precautions to
prevent accidentally igniting the flam- mable gas that may be emitted from
the battery:
●Make sure each jumper cable is
connected to the correct terminal
and that it is not unintentionally in contact with any other than the
intended terminal.
●Do not allow the other end of the
jumper cable connected to the “+”
terminal to come into contact with any other parts or metal surfaces in
the area, such as brackets or
unpainted metal.
●Do not allow the + and - clamps of
the jumper cables to come into con- tact with each other.
●Do not smoke, use matches, ciga-rette lighters 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 bat- tery:
●When working with the battery, always wear safety glasses and
take care not to allow any battery
fluids (acid) to come into contact with skin, clothing or the vehicle
body.
●Do not lean over the battery.
●In the event that battery fluid comes
into contact with the skin or eyes, immediately wash the affected area
with water and seek medical atten-
tion. Place a wet sponge or cloth over the affected area until medical
attention can be received.

■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 fans and belts. Fail-
ure 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

WA R N I N G
■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
(vehicles with a continuously
variable transmission)
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.

■Oil capacity (Drain and refill
[Reference*])
*: The engine oil capacity is a reference
quantity to be used when changing
the engine oil. Warm up and turn off
the engine, wait more than 5 minutes,
and check the oil level on the dip-
stick.
■Engine oil selection
“Toyota Genuine Motor Oil” is used
in your Toyota vehicle. Toyota rec-
ommends the use of approved
“Toyota Genuine Motor Oil”.
Another motor oil of matching qual-
ity can also be used.
Oil grade:
0W-20 and 5W-30
API grade SM “Energy-Conserv-
ing”, SN “Resource-Conserving”,
SN PLUS “Resource-Conserving”
or SP “Resource-Conserving”; or
ILSAC GF-6A multigrade engine oil
Recommended viscosity (SAE):
Preferred
Temperature range anticipated
before next oil change
SAE 0W-20 is filled in to your Toyota
vehicle at manufacturing, and the
best choice for good fuel economy
and good starting in cold weather. If
SAE 0W-20 oil is not available,
SAE 5W-30 oil may be used. How-
ever, it should be replaced with
SAE 0W-20 at the ne xt oil change.
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 tempera-
ture. An oil with a higher viscos-
ity (one with a higher value) may
be better suited if the vehicle is
operated at high speeds, or
under extreme load conditions.
How to read oil container labels:
Either or both API registered marks
are added to some oil containers to
help you select the oil you should
use.
