Maintenance and care
“UPPER LEVEL” line
“LOWER LEVEL” line
If the fluid level is at or below the
“LOWER LEVEL” line, add distilled
water.
■Adding distilled water
1 Remove the vent plug.
2 Add distilled water.
If the “UPPER LEVEL” line cannot be seen, check the fluid level by looking
directly at the cell.
3 Put the vent plug back on and
close it securely.
■Before recharging
When recharging, the battery produces
hydrogen gas which is flammable and
explosive. Therefore, observe the fol- lowing before recharging:
●If recharging with the battery installed on the vehicle, be sure to disconnect
the ground cable.
●Make sure the power switch on the
charger is off when connecting and disconnecting the charger cables to
the battery.
■After recharging/reconnecting the
battery
The engine may not start. Follow the
procedure below to initialize the system.
1 Shift the shift lever to P (automatic
transmission) or depress the brake pedal with the shift lever in N (man-
ual transmission).
2 Open and close either door.
3 Restart the engine.
●Unlocking the doors using the smart
entry & start system may not be possi-
ble immediately after reconnecting the battery. If this happens, use the wire-
less remote control or the mechanical
key to lock/unlock the doors.
●Start the engine with the engine
switch in ACC. The engine may not start with the engine switch turned off.
However, the engine will operate nor-
mally from the second attempt.
●The engine switch mode is recorded
by the vehicle. If the battery is discon- nected and reconnected, the vehicle
will return the engine switch mode to
the status it was in before the battery was disconnected. Make sure to turn
off the engine before disconnecting
the battery. Take extra care when con- necting the battery if the engine switch
mode prior to the battery being dis-
connected is unknown.
If the engine will not start even after mul-
tiple attempts, contact any authorized Toyota dealer or repairer, or another
duly qualified and equipped profes-
sional.
