Toyota 2014 Yaris Manual page 331

Maintain the engine speed of the second vehicle and start
the engine of your vehicle by turning the engine switch to
the "ON" position.
Once the vehicle's engine has started, remove the jumper
cables in the exact reverse order from which they were con-
nected.
Once the engine starts, have the vehicle inspected at your Toyota
dealer as soon as possible.
■
Starting the engine when the battery is discharged (vehicles with an
automatic transmission)
The engine cannot be started by push-starting.
■
To prevent battery discharge
●
Turn off the headlights and the air conditioning system while the engine is
off.
●
Turn off any unnecessary electrical components when the vehicle is run-
ning at a low speed for an extended period, such as in heavy traffic.
■
When the battery is removed or discharged (vehicles with an alarm
system)
Make sure that the key is not inside the vehicle when recharging or replacing
the battery. The key may be locked in the vehicle if the alarm is activated.
(P. 75)
■
Charging the battery
The electricity stored in the battery will discharge gradually even when the
vehicle is not in use, due to natural discharge and the draining effects of cer-
tain electrical appliances. If the vehicle is left for a long time, the battery may
discharge, and the engine may be unable to start. (The battery recharges
automatically during driving.)
