NOTE
 If the auxiliary battery is disconnected, the
operation mode of the power switch is mem-
orized. When a booster battery is connected
by jumper cables, the operation mode of the
power switch returns to the state before the
auxiliary battery run down.
Pay due attention if you do not know the
operation mode of the power switch before
the auxiliary battery was fully discharged.
 If the auxiliary battery is fully discharged
with the select position in the "P" (PARK)
position, the select position cannot be
changed to other position from the "P"
(PARK) position in some cases. In such a
case, the front wheels have been locked.
Therefore, the vehicle cannot be moved.
1. Get the vehicles close enough so the
jumper cables can reach, but be sure the
vehicles aren't touching each other.
2. Turn off all lamps, heater and other elec-
trical loads.
3. Set the parking brake firmly on each vehi-
cle. Set the gear of another vehicle in "P"
(PARK) position (with A/T or CVT) or in
"N" (Neutral) position (with M/T) and
stop the engine.
WARNING
 When connecting the jumper cable, stop
the engine in another vehicle. Otherwise,
the cables or your clothes may be caught
by the fan or drive belt and personal
injury could result.
 The cooling fan turns on and off depend-
ing on the coolant temperature. Do not
bring your hands close to the fan while the
engine is running or the Hybrid EV Sys-
tem is operating.
4. Make sure battery electrolyte is at the
proper level.
Refer to "Auxiliary battery" on page 10-9.
WARNING
 If battery electrolyte is not visible, or
appears to be frozen, Do Not Attempt
Jump Starting!
An auxiliary battery might rupture or
explode if the temperature is below the
freezing point or if it is not filled to the
proper level.
