■

Starting the engine when the

battery is discharged

The engine cannot be started by

push-starting.

■

To prevent battery discharge

●

Turn off the headlights and the

audio system while the engine is

off.

●

Turn off any unnecessary electri-

cal components when the vehicle

is running at a low speed for an

extended period, such as in heavy

traffic.

■

When the battery is removed or

discharged

Information stored in the ECU is

cleared. When the battery is

depleted, have the vehicle

inspected at your Toyota dealer.

■

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

●

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

D

374

battery discharged, be especially

careful when reconnecting the

battery.

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 + and - clamps

of the jumper cables to come

into contact with each other.

●

Do not smoke, use matches,

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.

■

To prevent damage to the

vehicle

Do not pull- or push-start the vehi-

cle as the three-way catalytic con-

verter may overheat and become

a fire hazard.

NOTICE

■

When handling jumper cables

do not become tangled in the

cooling fans or any of the belts

when connecting or disconnecting

them.

■

When closing the doors

While pushing the door glass

towards the inside of the vehicle,

slowly close the door.

Because the side window

open/close function linked to door

operation will not operate, the

Engine oil selection

“Toyota Genuine Motor Oil” is
used in your Toyota vehicle. Use
Toyota approved “Toyota Genu-
ine Motor Oil” or equivalent to
satisfy the following grade and
viscosity.
Oil grade: ILSAC GF-6A multi-
grade engine oil
Recommended viscosity: SAE
0W-20
SAE 0W-20 is the best choice
for good fuel economy and good
starting in cold weather.
If SAE 0W-20 is not available,
SAE 5W-20 oil may be used.
However, it must be replaced
with SAE 0W-20 at the next oil
change.

Outside temperature

Oil viscosity (0W-20 is explained
here as an example):
• The 0W in 0W-20 indicates

the characteristic of the oil
which allows cold startability.
Oils with a lower value before
the W allow for easier starting
of the engine in cold weather.

• The 20 in 0W-20 indicates the

viscosity characteristic of the
oil when the oil is at high tem-
perature. An oil with a higher
viscosity (one with a higher
value) may be better suited if
the vehicle is operated at high
speeds, or under extreme
load conditions.
