When trouble arises
One of the following may be the
cause of the problem:
 The charging cable may be
connected to the vehicle.
( P.102)
 The electronic key may not be
functioning properly.
*
( P.539)
 The traction battery may be
completely discharged.
Charge the traction battery.
( P.98)
 There may be a malfunction
in the immobilizer system.
*
( P.68)
 There may be a malfunction
in the shift control system.
*
( P.233, 525)
 The EV system may be mal-
functioning due to an electri-
cal problem such as
electronic key battery deple-
tion or a blown fuse. However,
NOTICE
●Do not put the repair kit directly
onto dusty ground such as sand
at the side of the road. If the
repair kit vacuums up dust, etc.,
a malfunction may occur.
●Make sure the sealant bottle of
the repair kit is in a vertical posi-
tion. The repair kit does not
operate properly when it is laid.
■Precautions for the emer-
gency tire puncture repair kit
●The repair kit power source
should be 12 V DC suitable for
vehicle use. Do not connect the
repair kit to any other source.
●Place the repair kit in a storage
to prevent it from being exposed
to dirt or water.
●Store the repair kit in the lug-
gage compartment out of reach
of children.
●Do not disassemble or modify
the repair kit. Do not subject
parts such as the air pressure
indicator to impacts. This may
cause a malfunction.
■To avoid damage to the tire
pressure warning valves and
transmitters
When a tire is repaired with liquid
sealants, the tire pressure warn-
ing valve and transmitter may not
operate properly. If a liquid seal-
ant is used, contact your Toyota
dealer or other qualified service
shop as soon as possible. After
use of liquid sealant, make sure to
replace the tire pressure warning
valve and transmitter when repair-
ing or replacing the tire. ( P.476)
If the EV system will
not star t
Reasons for the EV system
not starting vary depending
on the situation. Check the
following and perform the
appropriate procedure:
The EV system will not
start even though the cor-
rect starting procedure is
being followed ( P.231)

When trouble arises
6 Open and close any of the
doors of your vehicle with the
power switch OFF.
7 Maintain the engine speed of
the second vehicle and start
the EV system of your vehi-
cle by turning the power
switch to ON.
8 Make sure the “READY” indi-
cator comes on. If the indica-
tor light does not come on,
contact your Toyota dealer.
9 Once the EV system has
started, remove the jumper
cables in the exact reverse
order from which they were
connected.
10 Close the positive (+) battery
terminal cover.
Once the EV system starts,
have the vehicle inspected at
your Toyota dealer as soon as
possible.
■Starting the EV system when
the 12-volt battery is dis-
charged
The EV system cannot be started by
push-starting.
■To prevent 12-volt battery dis-
charge
●Turn off the headlights, the air
conditioning system, the audio
system, etc. while the EV system
is off.
●Turn off any unnecessary electri-
cal components when the vehicle
is running at a low speed for an
extended period, such as in heavy
traffic.
■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 EV system may be
unable to start. (The 12-volt battery
recharges automatically while the
EV system is operating.)
■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 your Toyota dealer.
●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 EV system may not start on
the first attempt a fter the 12-volt
battery has recharged but will start
normally after the second attempt.
This is not a malfunction.
●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
was in before the 12-volt battery
was discharged. Before discon-
necting the 12-volt battery, turn
the power switch off.
If you are unsure what mode the
power switch was in before the
12-volt battery discharged, be
especially careful when recon-
necting the 12-volt battery.
●If the 12-volt battery discharges, it
may not be possible to shift the
shift position to o ther positions. In
this case, the vehicle cannot be
towed without lifting both front
wheels because the front wheels
will be locked.
●The power back door (if equipped)
