Conditions in which the gasoline engine may not stop
The gasoline engine starts and stops automatically. However, it may not stop
automatically in the following conditions:
●
During gasoline engine warm-up
●
During hybrid battery (traction battery) charging
●
When the temperature of the hybrid battery (traction battery) is high or low
●
When the heater is switched on
■
Charging the hybrid battery (traction battery)
As the gasoline engine charges the hybrid battery (traction battery), the bat-
tery does not need to be charged from an outside source. However, if the
vehicle is left parked for a long time the hybrid battery (traction battery) will
slowly discharge. For this reason, be sure to drive the vehicle at least once
every few months for at least 30 minutes or 10 miles (16 km). If the hybrid
battery (traction battery) becomes fully discharged and you are unable to start
the hybrid system, contact your Toyota dealer.
●
To help prevent the 12-volt battery from becoming discharged, drive the
vehicle at least once a month, and operate the accessories only when the
“READY” indicator is on. When parking the vehicle, make sure the doors are
closed and all lights are turned off.
■
Charging the 12-volt battery
■
After the 12-volt battery has discharged or when the terminal has been
removed and installed during exchange, etc.
The gasoline engine may not stop even if the vehicle is being driven by the
hybrid battery (traction battery). If this continues for a few days, contact your
Toyota dealer.
The EV indicator comes on when the
vehicle is driven using only the electric
motor (traction motor) or the gasoline
engine is stopped.
