When trouble arises
If you have a set of jumper (or 
booster) cables and a second 
vehicle with a 12-volt battery, 
you can jump start your vehicle 
by following the steps below.
1Vehicles with an alarm 
( P.65): Confirm that the 
electronic key is being car-
ried.
When connecting the jumper (or  booster) cables, depending on the 
situation, the alarm may activate 
and doors locked. (
P. 6 6 )2 Open the hood. ( P.273)
3 Connect a positive jumper cable clamp to   on your vehicle and 
connect the clamp on the other end of the positive cable to   on  
the second vehicle. Then, connect a negative cable clamp to   
on the second vehicle and connect the clamp at the other end of 
the negative cable to  .

recharge the battery of your 
vehicle.
5 Open and close any of the 
doors of your vehicle with the 
engine switch OFF.
6 Maintain the engine speed of 
the second vehicle and start 
the engine of your vehicle by 
turning the engine switch to 
ON.
7 Once the vehicle’s engine 
has started, remove the 
jumper cables in the exact 
reverse order from which 
they were connected.
Once the engine starts, have the 
vehicle inspected at your Toyota 
dealer as soon as possible.
■Starting the engine when the 
battery is discharged
The engine cannot be started by 
push-starting.
■To prevent battery discharge
●Turn off the headlights and the 
audio system while  the engine 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.
■When the battery is removed or 
discharged
●Information stor ed in the ECU is 
cleared. When the battery is 
depleted, have the vehicle 
inspected at you r Toyota dealer.
●Some systems may  require initial-
ization. ( P.395)
■When removing the battery ter-
minals
When the battery terminals are 
removed, the information stored in 
the ECU is cleared. Before remov-
ing the battery term inals, contact 
your Toyota dealer.
■Charging the battery
The electricity stored in the battery 
will discharge grad ually even when 
the vehicle is not in use, due to nat-
ural discharge and the draining 
effects of certain  electrical appli-
ances. If the vehicle is left for a long 
time, the battery  may discharge, 
and the engine may be unable to 
start. (The battery recharges auto-
matically during driving.)
■When recharging or replacing 
the battery
●In some cases, it may not be pos-
sible to unlock the doors using the 
smart key system when the bat-
tery is discharged. Use the wire-
less remote control or the 
mechanical key to lock or unlock 
the doors.
●The engine may not start on the 
first attempt after  the battery has 
recharged but will start normally 
after the second attempt. This is 
not a malfunction.
●The engine switch mode is memo-
rized by the vehicle. When the 
battery is reconnected, the system 
will return to the mode it was in 
before the bat tery was dis-
charged. Before disconnecting the 
battery, turn the engine switch off.
If you are unsure what mode the 
engine switch wa s in before the 
battery discharged, be especially 
careful when reconnecting the 
battery.
■When replacing the battery
●Use a battery that conforms to 
European regulations.
●Use a battery that the case size is 
same as the previous one (LN1), 
20 hour rate capacity (20HR) is  

3617-2. Steps to take in an emergency

When trouble arises
equivalent (45Ah) or greater, and 
performance rating (CCA) is 
equivalent (307A) 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 lighters 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.
NOTICE
■When handling jumper cables
When connecting the jumper 
cables, ensure that they do not 
become entangled in the cooling 
fan or engine drive belt.

6Start 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 op erating 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.)
7 If the fan is not operating:
Stop the engine immediately 
and contact your Toyota 
dealer.
If the fan is operating:
Have the vehicle inspected at 
the nearest Toyota dealer.
WARNING
■When inspecting under the 
hood of your vehicle
Observe the following precau-
tions. Failure to do so may result 
in serious injury such as burns.
●If steam is seen coming from 
under the hood, do not open the 
hood until the steam has sub-
sided. The engine compart-
ment may be very hot.
●Keep hands and clothing (espe-
cially a tie, a sca rf or a muffler) 
away from the fan and belts. 
Failure to do so may cause the 
hands or clothing to be caught, 
resulting in serious injury.
●Do not loosen the coolant reser-
voir caps while the engine and 
radiator are hot.
High temperature steam or 
coolant could spray out.
NOTICE
■When adding engine coolant
Add coolant slowly after the 
engine has cooled down suffi-
ciently. Adding cool coolant to a 
hot engine too quickly can cause 
damage to the engine.
■To prevent damage to the 
cooling system
Observe the following precau-
tions:
●Avoid contaminating the coolant 
with foreign matter (such as 
sand or dust etc.).
●Do not use any coolant additive.

■Engine oil selection
“Toyota Genuine Motor Oil” is 
used in your Toyota vehicle. Use 
Toyota approved “Toyota Genu-
ine Motor Oil” or equivalent to 
satisfy the following grade and 
viscosity.
Oil grade: ILSAC GF-6B multi-
grade engine oil
Recommended viscosity: SAE 
0W-16
Outside temperature
SAE 0W-16 is the best choice 
for good fuel economy and good 
starting in cold weather. If SAE 0W-16 is not available, 
SAE 0W-20 oil may be used. 
However, it must be replaced 
with SAE 0W-16 at the next oil 
change.
Oil viscosity (0W-16 is explained 
here as an example):
• The 0W in 0W-16 indicates 
the characteristic of the oil 
which allows cold startability. 
Oils with a lower value before 
the W allow for easier starting 
of the engine in cold weather.
• The 16 in 0W-16 indicates the  viscosity characteristic of the 
oil when the oil is at high tem-
perature. An oil with a higher 
viscosity (one with a higher 
value) may be better suited if 
the vehicle is operated at high 
speeds, or under extreme 
load conditions.
How to read oil container label:
API registered mark is added to 
some oil containers to help you 
select the oil you should use.
