5-2. Steps to take in an emergency
Vehicles without smart entry & start system: Maintain the
engine speed of the second vehicle and turn the engine
switch to the "ON" position, then start the vehicle's engine.
Vehicles with smart entry & start system: Maintain the
engine speed of the second vehicle and turn the "ENGINE
START STOP" switch to IGNITION ON mode, then start the
vehicle's engine.
Once the vehicle's engine has started, remove the jumper
cables in the exact reverse order in which they were con-
nected.
Once the engine starts, have the vehicle checked at any autho-
rized Toyota dealer or repairer, or another duly qualified and
equipped professional, as soon as possible.
■
Starting the engine when the battery is discharged (vehicles with a
Multidrive)
The engine cannot be started by push-starting.
■
Avoiding a discharged battery
●
Turn off the headlights and the audio system while the engine is turned
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, etc.
■
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.)
■
When the battery is removed or discharged (vehicles with alarm)
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.
