■Before recharging
When recharging, the 12-volt bat-
tery produces hydrogen gas which
is flammable and explosive. There-
fore, observe the following precau-
tions before recharging:
●If recharging with the 12-volt bat-
tery 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 12-volt battery.
■After recharging/reconnecting
the 12-volt battery
●The EV system may not start. Fol-
low the procedure below to initial-
ize the system.
1 Shift the shift position to P.
2 Open and close any of the doors.
3 Restart the EV system.
●Unlocking the doors using the
Smart key system may not be
possible immediately after recon-
necting the 12-volt battery. If this
happens, use the wireless remote

disconnected and
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
switch before disconnecting the
12-volt battery. Take extra care
when connecting the 12-volt bat-
tery if the power switch mode prior
to the 12-volt battery being dis-
connected is unknown.
If the EV system will not start even
after multiple att empts at all the
methods above, contact your Toyota
dealer.
