6-3. Do-it-yourself maintenance
The 12-volt battery is located in the
right-hand side of the rear seats.
1 Remove the screws.
2 Remove the clips from the
claws.
3 Slide the tabs out of the
notches.
■Before recharging
When recharging, the 12-volt battery produces hydrogen gas which is flam-mable and explosive. Therefore,
observe the following precautions 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
disconnecting the charger cables to the 12-volt battery.
■After recharging/reconnecting the 12-volt battery (vehicles with a
smart entry & start system)
●Unlocking the doors using the smart
entry & start system may not be possi- ble immediately after reconnecting the 12-volt battery. If this happens, use
the wireless remote control or the mechanical key to lock/unlock the doors.
●Start the hybrid system with the power switch in ACC. The hybrid system
may not start with the power switch turned off. However, the hybrid sys-tem 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 the status it
was in before the 12-volt battery was disconnected. Make sure to turn off the power before disconnecting the
12-volt battery. Take extra care when connecting the 12-volt battery if the power switch mode prior to discharge
is unknown.
If the system will not start even after multiple attempts, contact any autho-
rized Toyota retailer or Toyota autho- rized repairer, or any reliable repairer.
