8-2. Steps to take in an emergency
Starting the engine when the bat-
tery is discharged
The engine cannot be started by push-
starting.
To prevent battery discharge
Turn off the headlights and the audio
system while the engine is stopped.
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 dis-
charged
Some systems may require initialization.
(P.777)
When removing the battery termi-
nals
When the battery terminals are
removed, the information stored in the
ECU is cleared. Before removing the
battery terminals, contact your Toyota
dealer.
Charging the battery
The electricity stored in the battery will
discharge gradually even when the vehi-
cle is not in use, due to natural dis-
charge and the draining effects of
certain electrical appliances. If the vehi-
cle is left for a long time, the battery may
discharge, and the engine may be
unable to start. (The battery recharges
automatically during driving.)
Replacing the battery
Vehicles with Stop & Start system:
Use a genuine battery specifically
designed for use with the Stop & Start
system or a battery with equivalent
specifications 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 your Toyota dealer for
details.
Use a battery that conforms to Euro-
pean regulations.
Type A: Use a battery that the case size
is same as the previous one (LN3), 20
hours rate capacity (20HR) is equivalent
(70Ah) or greater, and performance rat-
ing (CCA) is equivalent (600A) or
greater.
Type B: Use a battery that the case size
is same as the previous one (LN4), 20
hours rate capacity (20HR) is equivalent
(80Ah) or greater, and performance rat-
ing (CCA) is equivalent (689A) or
greater.
Type C: Use a battery that the case size
is same as the previous one (LN4), 20
hours rate capacity (20HR) is equivalent
(75Ah) or greater, and performance rat-
ing (CCA) is equivalent (776A) 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 bat-
tery may discharge and engine may
not be able to start.
When recharging or replacing the
battery (vehicles with Stop & Start
system)
The Stop & Start system may not auto-
matically stop the engine for up to an
hour.
WARNING
When removing the battery ter-
minals
Always remove the negative (-) termi-
nal first. If the positive (+) terminal
contacts any metal in the surrounding
area when the positive (+) terminal is
removed, a spark may occur, leading
to a fire in addition to electrical shocks
and death or serious injury.
