■Stopping the hybrid system
Set the parking brake, shift the shift position to P and press the power switch
as you normally do when stopping the hybrid system.
■ Replacing the key battery
As the above procedure is a temporary measure, it is recommended that the
electronic key battery be replaced imm ediately when the battery is depleted.
( P. 554)
■ Alarm (if equipped)
Using the mechanical key to lock the doors will not set the alarm system.
If a door is unlocked using the mechanical key when the alarm system is set,
the alarm may be triggered. ( P. 9 3 )
■ Changing power switch modes
Release the brake pedal and press the power switch in step above. The
hybrid system does not start and modes will be changed each time the switch
is pressed. ( P. 246)
■ When the electronic key does not work properly
● Make sure that the smart entry & start system has not been deactivated in
the customization setting. If it is off, turn the function on.
(Customizable features: P. 670)
● Check if battery-saving mode is set. If it is set, cancel the function.
( P. 189)
WARNING
■When using the mechanical key and operating the power windows or
moon roof (if equipped)
Operate the power window or moon roof after checking to make sure that
there is no possibility of any passenger having any of their body parts

When trouble arises
If the 12-volt batter y is discharged
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.
Vehicles with alarm ( P. 9 3 ) :
Confirm that the electronic key
is being carried.
When connecting the jumper (or
booster) cables, depending on the
situation, the alarm may activate
and doors locked. ( P. 95)
Open the hood. (P. 5 1 1 )
Remove the engine cover.
Pull up the both ends of the cover
vertically.
The following procedures may be used to start the hybrid sys-
tem if the vehicle’s 12-volt battery is discharged.

■ When recharging or replacing the 12-volt battery
● In some cases, it may not be possible to unlock the doors using the smart
entry & start system when the 12-volt battery is discharged. Use the wire-
less remote control or the mechanical key to lock or unlock the doors.
● The hybrid system may not start on the first attempt after the 12-volt battery
has recharged but will start normally after the second attempt. This is not a
malfunction.
● The power switch mode is memorized by the vehicle. When the 12-volt bat-
tery is reconnected, the system will return to the mode it was in before the
12-volt battery was discharged. Before disconnecting the 12-volt battery,
turn the power switch off.
If you are unsure what mode the power switch was in before the 12-volt bat-
tery discharged, be especially careful when reconnecting the 12-volt battery.
● If the 12-volt battery discharges while the shift position is in P, it may not be
possible to shift the shift position to other positions. In this case, the vehicle
cannot be towed without lifting both front wheels because the front wheels
will be locked. ( P. 572)
■ When replacing the 12-volt battery
● Use a 12-volt battery that conforms to European regulations.
● Use a 12-volt battery that the case size is same as the previous one (LN1),
20 hour rate capacity (20HR) is equi valent (45Ah) or greater, and perfor-
mance rating (CCA) is equivalent (295A) or greater.
• If the sizes differ, the 12-volt battery cannot be properly secured.
• If the 20 hour rate capacity is low, even if the time period where the vehi-
cle is not used is a short time, the 12-volt battery may discharge and the
hybrid system may not be able to start.
● For details, consult any authorized Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized
repairer, or any reliable repairer.
