4847-2. Steps to take in an emergency
1Ensure that the shift lever is
in P and depress the brake
pedal.
2 Touch the Toyota emblem
side of the electronic key to
the power switch.
When the electronic key is
detected, a buzzer sounds and the
power switch will turn to ON.
When the smart key system is
deactivated in customization set-
ting, the power switch will turn to
ACC.
3Firmly depress the brake
pedal and check that is

mation display.
4 Press the power switch

In the event that t he hybrid system
still cannot be started, contact your
Toyota dealer.
■Stopping the hybrid system
Shift the shift lever to P, set the
parking brake and press the power
switch as you normally do when
stopping the hybrid system.
■Replacing the key battery
As the above proce dure is a tempo-
rary measure, it is recommended
that the electronic key battery be
replaced immediately when the bat-
tery is depleted. ( P.433)
■Alarm (if equipped) (for Canada)
Using the mechanical key to lock
the doors will not set the alarm sys-
tem.
If a door is unl ocked using the
mechanical key when the alarm sys-
tem is set, the alarm may be trig-
gered.
■Changing power switch modes
Release the brake pedal and press
the power switch in step 3 above.
The hybrid system does not start
and modes will be changed each
time the switch is pressed.
(  P.222)
WARNING
■When using the mechanical
key and operating the power
windows or the moon roof (if
equipped) or panoramic
moon roof (if equipped)
Operate the power window or the
moon roof or panoramic moon
roof after checking to make sure
that there is no possibility of any
passenger having any of their
body parts caught in the window
or the moon roof or panoramic
moon roof. Also, do not allow chil-
dren to operate the mechanical

tem

4877-2. Steps to take in an emergency
7
When trouble arises
have the vehicle inspected at
your Toyota dealer as soon as
possible.
■Starting the hybrid system
when the 12-volt battery is dis-
charged
The hybrid system cannot be
started by push-starting.
■To prevent 12-vol t battery dis-
charge
●Turn off the headlights and the
audio system while the hybrid sys-
tem is off.
●Turn off any unnec essary electri-
cal components when the vehicle
is running at a low speed for an
extended period, such as in heavy
traffic.
■When the 12-volt battery is
removed or discharged
●Information stor ed in the ECU is
cleared. When the 12-volt battery
is depleted, have the vehicle
inspected at your Toyota dealer.
●Some systems may require initial-
ization. ( P.531)
■When removing the 12-volt bat-
tery terminals
When the 12-volt battery terminals
are removed, the information stored
in the ECU is cleared. Before
removing the 12-volt battery termi-
nals, contact your Toyota dealer.
■Charging the 1 2-volt battery
The electricity stor ed in the 12-volt
battery will discharge gradually even
when the vehicle is not in use, due
to natural discharge and the drain-
ing effects of certa in electrical appli-
ances. If the vehicle is left for a long
time, the 12-volt battery may dis-
charge, and the hybrid system may
be unable to start. (The 12-volt bat-
tery recharges aut omatically while
the hybrid system is operating.)
■When recharging or replacing
the 12-volt battery (vehicles
without smart key system)
The hybrid system may not start on
the first attempt after the 12-volt bat-
tery has recharged but will start nor-
mally after the second attempt. This
is not a malfunction.
■When recharging or replacing
the 12-volt battery (vehicles
with smart key system)
●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 hybrid syste m may not start
on the first attempt after the 12-
volt battery has recharged but will
start normally after the second
attempt. This is n ot 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 to 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.
■When replacing t he 12-volt bat-
tery
●Use a 12-volt battery that con-
forms to European regulations.
Type A:
Use a battery that the case size is
same as the previous one (LN1), 20
hours rate capacity (20HR) is equiv-
alent (45Ah) or greater, and perfor-
