8-2. Steps to take in an emergency
8
When
trou
ble arises
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 the battery is removed or
discharged (vehicles with Stop
& Start system)
After the battery terminals have
been disconnected and recon-
nected or the battery has been
replaced, the Stop & Start system
may not automatically stop the
engine for approximately 5 to 60
minutes.
■ When replacing the battery
● Vehicles with Stop & Start system:
Use a genuine battery specifically
designed for use with the Stop &
Start system or a battery with equiv-
alent specifications to a genuine
battery. If an unsupported battery is
used, Stop & Start system functions
may be restricted to protect the bat-
tery. Also, battery performance may
decrease and the engine may not
be able to restart. Contact your Toy-
ota dealer for details.
● Use a battery that conforms to
European regulations.
● Type A:
Use a battery that the case size is
same as the previous one (LN3), 20
hours rate capacity (20HR) is equiv-
alent (65Ah) or greater, and perfor-
mance rating (CCA) is equivalent
(603A) or greater.
Type B:
Use a battery that the case size is
same as the previous one (LN2), 20
hours rate capacity (20HR) is equiv-
alent (60Ah) or greater, and perfor-
mance rating (CCA) is equivalent
(560A) or greater.
Type C:
Use a battery that the case size is
same as the previous one (LN2), 20
hours rate capacity (20HR) is equiv-
alent (60Ah) or greater, and perfor-
mance rating (CCA) is equivalent
(563A) 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
engine may not be able to start.
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.
