Jump Starting

The 12-Volt auxiliary battery may be jump started if
the vehicle does not start and the instrument
cluster gauges are dim or off after depressing the
brake pedal and pushing the power button.
The 12-Volt auxiliary battery is located in the
luggage compartment. The luggage compartment
opener will not operate if the auxiliary battery is
discharged. Instead use the metal cut key hidden in
the smart key to open the luggage compartment.
• Open the luggage compartment, and remove
the 12-Volt auxiliary battery cover on the
left hand side.
• Connect the positive jumper cable to the
positive battery post.
• Connect the negative jumper cable to the
negative battery post.
• Place the smart key inside the vehicle, depress
the brake pedal, and push the start button.
NOTES:
If the vehicle does not recognise the smart key
after connecting the booster battery to the
vehicle, open and close the driver door when
the vehicle is shut off.
If the smart key internal battery is discharged,
hold the smart key next to the power button
(within 10 mm) during the start sequence.
• The high-voltage HV battery pack cannot be
jump-started.
• Never use a 'Quick Charger' or 'Booster Pack' to
jump-start the vehicle.
• If the auxiliary battery needs to be replaced,
replace it only with 12-Volt battery specially
designed for use in the GS450h.
Immobiliser and Anti-Theft Alarm
The GS450h is equipped with an immobiliser
system and an anti-theft alarm as standard
equipment.
• The vehicle can be started only with a registered
smart key.
• To disarm the anti-theft alarm, unlock the door
by using the smart key button, hidden metal cut
key, or using the door handle touch sensor.
Engaging the ignition-on mode or starting the
vehicle will also disarm the anti-theft alarm.
