Before recharging
When recharging, the battery pro-
duces hydrogen gas which is flam-
mable and explosive. Therefore,
observe the following precautions
before recharging:
●
If recharging with the battery
installed on the vehicle, be sure to
disconnect the ground cable.
●
Make sure the charger is off when
connecting and disconnecting the
charger cables to the battery.
■
After recharging/reconnecting
the battery
●
Unlocking the doors using the
smart key system may not be pos-
sible immediately after reconnect-
ing the battery. If this happens,
use the wireless remote control or
the mechanical key to lock/unlock
the doors.
●
Start the engine with the engine
switch in ACC. The engine may
not start with the engine switch
turned off. However, the engine
will operate normally from the sec-
ond attempt.
●
The engine switch mode is
recorded by the vehicle. If the bat-
tery is reconnected, the vehicle
will return the engine switch mode
to the status it was in before the
battery was disconnected. Make
sure to turn off the engine before
disconnecting the battery. Take
extra care when connecting the
battery if the engine switch mode
prior to discharge is unknown.
If the system will not start even after
multiple attempts, contact your Toy-
ota dealer.
