maintain at that level for
approximately 5 minutes to
recharge the 12-volt battery
of your vehicle.
7 Open and close any of the
doors of your vehicle with the
power switch OFF.
8 Maintain the engine speed of
the second vehicle and start
the hybrid system of your
vehicle by turning the power
switch to ON.

system has started, remove
the jumper cables in the
exact reverse order from
which they were connected.
10 When the engine cover
installing, reverse the step
removed.
11 Close the exclusive jump
starting terminal cover, and
reinstall the fuse box cover to
its original position.
Once the engine starts, have the
vehicle inspected at your Toyota
dealer as soon as possible.
■Starting the hybrid system
when the battery is discharged
The hybrid system cannot be started
by push-starting.
■To prevent 12-volt battery dis-
charge
●Turn off the headlights and the
audio system while the hybrid sys-
tem 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 12-volt battery is
removed or discharged
●Information stored 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.571)
■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-vo lt battery termi-
nals, contact you r Toyota dealer.
■Charging the 12-volt battery
The electricity stored in the 12-volt
battery will discha rge gradually even
when the vehicle i s not in use, due
to natural dischar ge and the drain-
ing effects of certain 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-

5327-2. Steps to take in an emergency
Owners Manual_USA_M0C052_entery recharges aut
omatically while
the hybrid system is operating.)
■When recharging or replacing
the 12-volt battery
●In some cases, i t 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 control or the
mechanical key to lock or unlock
the doors.
●The hybrid system may not start
on the first attem pt after reinstall-
ing the 12-volt battery. In that
case, start the hy brid system in
the same manner as when the
electronic key does not operate
properly ( P.528). This is not a
malfunction, as the hybrid system
will start normally on the second
attempt.
●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 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.
●Some systems may require initial-
ization. ( P.571)
■When replacing the 12-volt bat-
tery
●Use a 12-volt battery that con-
forms to European regulations.
●Use a 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
equivalent (345A) or greater.
• If the sizes differ, the 12-volt bat- tery cannot be pr operly 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 12-volt battery may discharge
and hybrid system may not be
able to start.
●Use a ventilation type calcium bat-
tery
●Use a 12-volt battery with a han-
dle. If a 12-volt battery without a
handle is used, removal is more
difficult.
●When removing the 12-volt bat-
tery:
P.463
●After replacing, firmly attach the
following items to the exhaust hole
of the 12-volt battery.
• Use the exhaust hose that was
attached to the 1 2-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 12-volt battery
replaced or the one installed on
the battery prior to the replaced.
(Depending on the 12-volt battery
to be replace, t he exhaust hole
may be plugged.)
For details, consult your Toyota
dealer.

When trouble arises
WARNING
■When removing the 12-volt
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 12-volt battery fires
or explosions
Observe the following precautions
to prevent accidentally igniting the
flammable gas that may be emit-
ted from the 12-volt 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 12-volt battery.
■12-volt battery precautions
The 12-volt battery contains poi-
sonous and corrosi ve acidic elec-
trolyte, while related parts contain
lead and lead compounds.
Observe the following precautions
when handling the 12-volt battery:
●When working with the 12-volt
battery, always wear safety
glasses and take care not to
allow any 12-volt battery fluids
(acid) to come into contact with
skin, clothing or the vehicle
body.
●Do not lean over the 12-volt bat-
tery.
●In the event that 1 2-volt 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 12-volt battery sup-
port, terminals, and other bat-
tery-related parts.
●Do not allow children near the
12-volt battery.
■After recharging the 12-volt
battery
Have the 12-volt battery
inspected at your Toyota dealer
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 detrimenta l to the health
of passengers.
