8-2. Steps to take in an emergency

cleared. When the battery is

depleted, have the vehicle

inspected at your Toyota dealer.

●

Some systems may require initial-

ization. (P.556)

■

When removing the battery ter-

minals

When the battery terminals are

removed, the information stored in

the ECU is cleared. Before remov-

ing the battery terminals, contact

your Toyota dealer.

■

Charging the battery

The electricity stored in the battery

will discharge gradually even when

the vehicle is not in use, due to nat-

ural discharge and the draining

effects of certain electrical appli-

ances. If the vehicle is left for a long

time, the battery may discharge,

and the engine may be unable to

start. (The battery recharges auto-

matically during driving.)

■

When recharging or replacing

the battery (vehicles with a

smart key system)

●

In some cases, it may not be pos-

sible to unlock the doors using the

smart key system when the bat-

tery is discharged. Use the wire-

less remote control or the

mechanical key to lock or unlock

the doors.

●

The engine may not start on the

first attempt after the battery has

recharged but will start normally

after the second attempt. This is

not a malfunction.

●

The engine switch mode is memo-

rized by the vehicle. When the

battery is reconnected, the system

will return to the mode it was in

before the battery was dis-

charged. Before disconnecting the

battery, turn the engine switch off.

If you are unsure what mode the

engine switch was in before the

battery discharged, be especially

careful when reconnecting the

battery.

■

When replacing the battery

●

Use a battery that conforms to

European regulations.

●

Use a battery with the same case

size as the previous battery and

an equivalent 20 hour rate capac-

ity (20HR) or greater.

• If the sizes differ, the battery can-

not be properly 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 battery may discharge and the

engine may not be able to start.

●

For details, consult your Toyota

dealer.

WARNING

■

When removing the 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, leading to a fire

in addition to electrical shocks

and death or serious injury.

■

Avoiding battery fires or

explosions

Observe the following precautions

to prevent accidentally igniting the

flammable gas that may be emit-

ted from the 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.

cigarette lighters or allow open

flame near the battery.

■

Battery precautions

The battery contains poisonous

and corrosive acidic electrolyte,

while related parts contain lead

and lead compounds. Observe

the following precautions when

handling the battery:

●

When working with the battery,

always wear safety glasses and

take care not to allow any bat-

tery fluids (acid) to come into

contact with skin, clothing or the

vehicle body.

●

Do not lean over the 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 attention. Place a

wet sponge or cloth over the

affected area until medical

attention can be received.

●

Always wash your hands after

handling the battery support,

terminals, and other bat-

tery-related parts.

●

Do not allow children near the

battery.

NOTICE

■

When handling jumper cables

When connecting the jumper

cables, ensure that they do not

become entangled in the cooling

fan or engine drive belt.

If your vehicle over-

heats

The following may indicate
that your vehicle is over-
heating.



The engine coolant tem-
perature gauge (P.77, 81)
is in the red zone or a loss
of engine power is experi-
enced. (For example, the
vehicle speed does not
increase.)



“Engine Coolant Temp High
