8-2. Steps to take in an emergency
■
When recharging or replacing the battery (vehicles with smart entry &
start system)
●
In some cases, it may not be possible to unlock the doors using the smart
entry & start system when the battery is discharged. Use the wireless
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 memorized by the vehicle. When the battery is
reconnected, the system will return to the mode it was in before the battery
was discharged. Before disconnecting the battery, turn the engine switch off.
If you are unsure what mode the engine switch was in before the battery dis-
charged, be especially careful when reconnecting the battery.
●
Vehicles with Stop & Start system: After charging the battery or reconnecting
the battery terminals, the Stop & Start system may not automatically stop
the engine for approximately 5 to 40 minutes.
■
When exchanging the battery
●
Use a battery that conforms to European regulations.
●
Use a battery with the same case size as the previous battery and an equiv-
alent 20 hour rate capacity (20HR) or greater.
• If the sizes differ, the battery cannot be properly secured.
• If the 20 hour rate capacity is low, even if the time period where the vehi-
cle is not used is a short time, the battery may discharge and the engine
may not be able to start.
●
Vehicles with Stop & Start system: Use a battery specified for use with the
Stop & Start system and equivalent to a genuine battery. If an unsupported
battery is used, Stop & Start system functions may be restricted to protect
the battery.
Also, battery performance may decrease and the engine may not be able to
restart. Contact any authorized Toyota dealer or repairer, or another duly
qualified and equipped professional.
