7-2. Steps to take in an emergency
When trouble arises
■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.
■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
●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.
WA R N I N G
■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 + 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.

3627-2. Steps to take in an emergency
1Stop the vehicle in a safe place
and turn off the air conditioning
system, and then stop the
engine.
2 If you see steam: Carefully lift
the hood after the steam sub-
sides.
If you do not see steam: Care-
fully lift the hood.
3 After the engine has cooled
down sufficiently, inspect the
WA R N I N G
●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.
●Always wash your hands after han-
dling the battery support, terminals, and other battery-related parts.
●Do not allow children near the bat-tery.
■To prevent damage to the vehicle
Do not pull- or push-start the vehicle
as the three-way catalytic converter
may overheat and become a fire haz- ard.
NOTICE
■When handling jumper cables
Be careful that the jumper cables do
not become tangled in the cooling fans or any of the belts when connect-
ing or disconnecting them.
■When closing the doors
While pushing the door glass towards
the inside of the vehicle, slowly close the door.
Because the side window open/close
function linked to door operation will not operate, the window may interfere
with the vehicle body, possibly
scratching both the vehicle body and window, or even shattering the win-
dow.
If your vehicle overheats
The following may indicate that
your vehicle is overheating.
 The engine coolant tempera-
ture gauge ( P.88) is in the
red zone or a loss of engine
power is experienced. (For
example, the vehicle speed
does not increase.)
 “High Coolant Temperature
Check Owner's Manual” is
shown on the multi-information
display.
 Steam comes out from under
the hood.

■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 vehicl es, 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 an automatic
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
