European regulations.
●Use a genuine battery specifically 
designed for use with the Stop & 
Start system or a battery with 
equivalent specifications to a gen-
uine battery. If an unsupported 
battery is used, Stop & Start sys-
tem functions may be restricted to 
protect the battery.
Also, battery performance may 
decrease and the engine may not 
be able to restart. Contact your 
Toyota dealer for details.
●Use a battery that the case size is 
same as the previous one (LN3), 
20 hour rate capacity (20HR) is 
equivalent (65Ah) or greater, and 
performance rating (CCA) is 
equivalent (603A) or greater.
• If the sizes differ, the battery can- not be properly secured.
• If the 20 hour rate  capacity is low, 
even if the time period where the 
vehicle is not used is a short time, 
the battery may discharge and the 
engine may not be able to start.
●For details, consu lt your Toyota 
dealer.
WARNING
■When removing the battery 
terminals
Always remove the negative (-) 
terminal first. If the positive (+) ter-
minal contacts any metal in the 
surrounding area when the posi-
tive (+) terminal is removed, a 
spark may occur, l eading to a fire 
in addition to electrical shocks 
and death or serious injury.
■Avoiding battery fires or 
explosions
Observe the following precautions 
to prevent accidentally igniting the 
flammable gas that may be emit-
ted from the battery:
●Make sure each jumper cable is 
connected to the correct termi-
nal and that it is not unintention-
ally in contact with any other 
than the intended terminal.
●Do not allow the other end of 
the jumper cable connected to 
the “+” terminal to come into 
contact with any other parts or 
metal surfaces in the area, such 
as brackets or unpainted metal.
●Do not allow the + and - clamps 
of the jumper cables to come 
into contact with each other.
●Do not smoke, use matches, 
cigarette lighter s 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 battery:
●When working with the battery, 
always wear safety glasses and 
take care not to allow any bat-
tery fluids (acid) to come into 
contact with skin, clothing or the 
vehicle body.
●Do not lean over the battery.
●In the event that battery fluid 
comes into contact with the skin 
or eyes, immediately wash the 
affected area with water and 
seek medical attention. Place a 
wet sponge or cloth over the 
affected area until medical 
attention can be received.
●Always wash your hands after 
handling the battery support, 
terminals, and other bat-
tery-related parts.
●Do not allow children near the 
battery.

Start the engine and turn the 
air conditioning system on to 
check that the radiator cool-
ing fan operates and to check 
for coolant leaks from the 
radiator or hoses.
The fan operates when the air con-
ditioning system is turned on imme-
diately after a cold start. Confirm 
that the fan is operating by check-
ing the fan sound and air flow. If it is 
difficult to check these, turn the air 
conditioning system on and off 
repeatedly. (The fan may not oper-
ate in freezing temperatures.)
