2023 TOYOTA RAV4 PLUG-IN HYBRID ECU

5768-2. Steps to take in an emergency
operate properly ( P.572). This is not
a malfunction, as the hybrid system will start normally on the second attempt.
●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 bat- tery, turn the power switch off.If you are unsure what mode the
power switch was in before the 12-volt battery discharged, be especially careful when reconnecting the 12-volt
battery.
■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 (LN2), 20 hours rate capacity (20HR) is equivalent (55Ah) or greater, and
performance rating (CCA) is equiva- lent (345A) 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 hybrid system may not be able to start.
●Use a ventilation type calcium battery
●Use a 12-volt battery with a handle. If a 12-volt battery without a handle is used, removal is more difficult.
●When removing the 12-volt battery:  P.486
●After replacing, firmly attach the fol- lowing items to the exhaust hole of the
12-volt battery. • Use the exhaust hose that was attached to the 12-volt battery before
replacing and confirm that it is firmly connected to the hole section of the vehicle.
• Use the exhaust hole plug included with the new 12-volt battery or the one installed on the battery prior to the
replacement. (Depending on the new
12-volt battery installed, the exhaust hole may be plugged.)
For details, consult any authorized
Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized
repairer, or any reliable repairer.

●The terminals can be connected to the body side when the negative terminal
of the 12-volt battery is disconnected, as shown in the illustration.
WARNING
■When removing the battery ter-minals
Always remove the negative (-) termi-
nal first. If the positive (+) terminal contacts any metal in the surrounding area when the positive (+) terminal is
removed, a spark may occur, leading to a fire in addition to electrical shocks and death or serious injury.

When trouble arises
WARNING
■Avoiding 12-volt battery fires or explosions
Observe the following precautions to prevent accidentally igniting the flam-mable gas that may be emitted from
the 12-volt battery:
●Make sure each jumper cable is connected to the correct terminal
and that it is not unintentionally 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 con- tact with each other.
●Do not smoke, use matches, ciga-rette lighters or allow open flame near the 12-volt battery.
■12-volt battery precautions
The 12-volt battery contains poison-
ous and corrosive acidic electrolyte, while related parts contain lead and lead compounds. Observe the follow-
ing precautions when handling the 12-volt battery:
●When working with the 12-volt bat-
tery, always wear safety glasses and take care not to allow any bat-tery fluids (acid) to come into con-
tact with skin, clothing or the vehicle body.
●Do not lean over the 12-volt 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 atten-
tion. Place a wet sponge or cloth over the affected area until medical
attention can be received.
●Always wash your hands after han- dling the 12-volt battery support, terminals, and other battery-related
parts.
●Do not allow children near the 12-
volt battery.
■After recharging the 12-volt bat-
tery
Have the 12-volt battery inspected at any authorized Toyota retailer or
Toyota authorized repairer, or any reliable repairer as soon as possible.If the 12-volt battery is deteriorating,
continued use may cause the 12-volt battery to emit a malodorous gas, which may be detrimental to the
health of passengers.
■When replacing the 12-volt bat-
tery
●For information regarding 12-volt battery replacement, contact any
authorized Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or any reliable repairer.
●After replacing, securely attach the exhaust hose and exhaust hole
plug to the exhaust hole of the replaced 12-volt battery. If not prop-erly installed, gases (hydrogen)
may leak into the vehicle interior, and there is the possible danger of the gas igniting and exploding.
