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 12-volt battery replaced or the

●For details, consult any authorized Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized
repairer, or any reliable repairer.
WARNING
■When removing the 12-volt bat- tery terminals
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.
■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.

WARNING
●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 reli-able 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.
NOTICE
■When handling jumper cables
When connecting the jumper cables, ensure that they do not become entangled in the cooling fan, etc.
■To prevent damaging the vehicle
The exclusive jump starting terminal
is to be used when charging the 12- volt battery from another vehicle in an emergency. It cannot be used to jump
start another vehicle.
