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 power switch on
the charger is off when connecting
and disconnecting the charger
cables to the battery.
■
After recharging/reconnecting
the battery
●
The engine may not start. Follow
the procedure below to initialize
the system.
1
Shift the shift lever to P.
2
Open and close any of the doors.
3
Restart the engine.
●
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 disconnected and recon-
nected, the vehicle will return the
engine switch mode to the status it
was in before the battery was dis-
connected. 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 the
battery being disconnected is
unknown.
If the system will not start even after
multiple attempts, contact your Toy-
ota dealer.
