■Starting the hybrid system
when the 12-volt battery is dis-
charged
The hybrid system cannot be
started by push-starting.
■To prevent 12-vol t battery dis-
charge
●Turn off the headlights and the
audio system while the hybrid sys-
tem is off.
●Turn off any unnec essary electri-
cal components when the vehicle
is running at a low speed for an
extended period, such as in heavy
traffic.
■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 you r Toyota dealer.
●Some systems may require initial-
ization. (P.578)
■When removing the 12-volt bat-
tery terminals
When the 12-volt battery terminals
are removed, the information stored
in the ECU is cleared. Before
removing the 12-vo lt battery termi-
nals, contact your Toyota dealer.
■Charging the 12-volt battery
The electricity stored in the 12-volt
battery will discha rge gradually even
when the vehicle i s not in use, due
to natural dischar ge and the drain-
ing effects of certain electrical appli-
ances. If the vehicle is left for a long
time, the 12-volt battery may dis-
charge, and the hybrid system may
be unable to start. (The 12-volt bat-
tery recharges automatically while
the hybrid system is operating.)
■When recharging or replacing
the 12-volt battery
●In some cases, it may not be pos-
sible to unlock the doors using the
smart key system when the 12-
volt battery is discharged. Use the
wireless remote c ontrol or the
mechanical key to lock or unlock
the doors.
●The hybrid syste m may not start
on the first attemp t after reinstall-
ing the 12-volt battery. In that
case, start the hybrid system in
the same manner as when the
electronic key does not operate
properly ( P.533). This is not a
malfunction, as the hybrid system
will start normally on the second
attempt.
●The power switch mode is memo-
rized by the vehicle. When the 12-
volt battery is reconnected, the
system will return to the mode it
