8-2. Steps to take in an emergency
was in before the 12-volt battery
was discharged. Before discon-
necting the 12-volt battery, turn
the power switch off.
If you are unsure what mode the
power switch was in before the
12-volt battery discharged, be
especially careful when recon-
necting the 12-volt battery.
● Some systems may require initial-
ization. (P.703)
■ When replacing the 12-volt bat-
tery
● Use a 12-volt battery that con-
forms to European regulations.
● Type A:
Use a battery that the case size is
same as the previous one (LN1), 20
hours rate capacity (20HR) is equiv-
alent (45Ah) or greater, and perfor-
mance rating (CCA) is equivalent
(285A) or greater.
Type B:
Use a battery that the case size is
same as the previous one (LN1), 20
hours rate capacity (20HR) is equiv-
alent (45Ah) or greater, and perfor-
mance rating (CCA) is equivalent
(286A) 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 (55Ah) or greater, and perfor-
mance rating (CCA) is equivalent
(345A) or greater.
• If the sizes differ, the 12-volt bat-
tery cannot 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 12-volt battery may discharge
and hybrid system may not be
able to start.
● Use a ventilation type calcium bat-
tery
● Use a 12-volt battery with a han-
dle. If a 12-volt battery without a
handle is used, removal is more
difficult.
● When removing the 12-volt bat-
tery: P.577
● After exchanging, firmly attach the
following items to the exhaust hole
of the 12-volt battery.
• Use the exhaust hose that was
attached to the 12-volt battery
before exchanging and confirm
that it is firmly connected to the
hole section of the vehicle.
• Use the exhaust hole plug
included with the 12-volt battery
exchanged or the one installed on
the battery prior to the exchange.
(Depending on the 12-volt battery
to be exchanged, the exhaust hole
may be plugged.)
For details, consult your Toyota

■ When removing the battery
terminals
Always remove the negative (-)

in addition to electrical shocks
and death or serious injury.
