■The compact spare tire (vehicles with a compact spare tire)

●The compact spare tire is identified by the label “TEMPORARY USE

ONLY” on the tire sidewall.

Use the compact spare tire temporarily, and only in an emergency.

●Make sure to check the tire inflation pressure of the compact spare tire.

(→P. 646)

■When the compact spare tire is installed (vehicles with a compact

spare tire)

The vehicle is lower when the compact spare tire is installed compared to

when standard tires are installed.

■When using the compact spare tire (vehicles with a tire pressure

warning system)

As the compact spare tire is not equipped with a tire pressure warning

valve and transmitter, low inflation pressure of the spare tire will not be

indicated by the tire pressure warning system. Also, if you replace the

compact spare tire after the tire pressure warning light comes on, the light

remains on.

8-2. Steps to take in an emergency

WARNING

■Replacing a flat tire for vehicles with power back door

In cases such as when replacing tires, make sure to turn off the power

back door main switch (→P. 133). Failure to do so may cause the back

door to operate unintentionally if the power back door switch is acciden-

tally touched, resulting in hands and fingers being caught and injured.

■After using the tools and jack

Before driving, make sure all the tools and jack are securely in place in

their storage location to reduce the possibility of personal injury during a

collision or sudden braking.

NOTICE

■Be careful when driving over bumps with the compact spare tire

installed on the vehicle.

The vehicle becomes lower when driving with the compact spare tire

compared to when driving with standard tires. Be careful when driving

over uneven road surfaces.

■Driving with tire chains and the compact spare tire

Do not fit tire chains to the compact spare tire.

Tire chains may damage the vehicle body and adversely affect driving

performance.

■When replacing the tires

When removing or fitting the wheels, tires or the tire pressure warning

valve and transmitter, contact your Toyota dealer as the tire pressure

warning valve and transmitter may be damaged if not handled correctly.

■ To avoid damage to the tire pressure warning valves and transmit-

ters

When a tire is repaired with liquid sealants, the tire pressure warning

valve and transmitter may not operate properly. If a liquid sealant is

used, contact your Toyota dealer or other qualified service shop as soon

as possible. Make sure to replace the tire pressure warning valve and

transmitter when replacing the tire. (→P. 524)

NOTICE

■When stowing the flat tire

●Ensure that there is no object caught between the tire and the vehicle

underbody.

●Securely tighten the spare tire clamp bolt to hold the spare wheel car-

rier by the hook.

●Stow the flat tire in the spare tire location. Failure to do so may cause

damage to the spare tire carrier. Proper storage reduces the possibility

of injury in a collision or during sudden braking.

●Have the flat tire repaired and the spare tire replaced with it as soon as

possible.

■Proper storage of the spare tire

●If the hoist assembly is slanted when

stowing a tire, the hoist assembly may

become stuck in the wheel opening

and the tire may not be raised prop-

erly, causing damage to the wheel or

the wire cable.

●Do not attempt to turn the spare tire clamp bolt without a tire on the

hoist assembly, as doing so may cause the wire cable to slip off of the

shaft inside the unit and the wire cable may not be able to be raised or

lowered. If the spare tire clamp bolt has been turned without a tire on

the hoist assembly and the wire cable cannot be raised or lowered,

contact your Toyota dealer.

4

Remove the engine cover.

Connect the jumper cables according to the following procedure:

5

1

Connect a positive jumper cable clamp to the exclusive jump

starting terminal on your vehicle.

Connect the clamp on the other end of the positive cable to the

2

positive (+) battery terminal on the second vehicle.

Connect a negative cable clamp to the negative (-) battery termi-

3

nal on the second vehicle.

Connect the clamp at the other end of the negative cable to a

4

solid, stationary, unpainted metallic point away from the exclusive

jump starting terminal and any moving parts, as shown in the

illustration.

Start the engine of the second vehicle. Increase the engine speed

6

slightly and maintain at that level for approximately 5 minutes to

recharge the 12-volt battery of your vehicle.

HIGHLANDER_HV_U (OM0E032U)

8-2. Steps to take in an emergency

627

7

Open and close any of the doors of your vehicle with the power

switch off.

Maintain the engine speed of the second vehicle and start the

8

hybrid system of your vehicle by turning the power switch to ON

mode.

Make sure the “READY” indicator comes on. If the indicator does

9

not come on, contact your Toyota dealer.

Once the hybrid system has started, remove the jumper cables in

10

the exact reverse order from which they were connected.

Close the exclusive jump starting terminal cover, and reinstall the

11

fuse box cover to its original position.

When installing, first hook the fuse box cover onto the two rear tabs.

Once the hybrid system starts, have the vehicle inspected at your

Toyota dealer as soon as possible.

■ Starting the hybrid system when the 12-volt battery is discharged

The hybrid system cannot be started by push-starting.

■ To prevent 12-volt battery discharge

● Turn off the headlights and the audio system while the hybrid system is off.

● Turn off any unnecessary electrical components when the vehicle is running

at a low speed for an extended period, such as in heavy traffic.

■When recharging or replacing the 12-volt battery

● In some cases, it may not be possible to unlock the doors using the smart

key system when the 12-volt battery is discharged. Use the wireless remote

control or the mechanical key to lock or unlock the doors.

● The hybrid system may not start on the first attempt after the 12-volt battery

8

has recharged but will start normally after the second attempt. This is not a

malfunction.

● The power switch mode is memorized by the vehicle. When the 12-volt bat-

tery is reconnected, the system will return to the mode it was in before the

12-volt battery was discharged. Before disconnecting the 12-volt battery,

turn the power switch off.

If you are unsure what mode the power switch was in before the 12-volt bat-

tery discharged, be especially careful when reconnecting the 12-volt battery.

● Vehicle with power back door: The power back door must be initialized.

(→P. 677)

■ Charging the 12-volt battery

The electricity stored in the 12-volt battery will discharge gradually even when

the vehicle is not in use, due to natural discharge and the draining effects of

certain electrical appliances. If the vehicle is left for a long time, the 12-volt

battery may discharge, and the hybrid system may be unable to start. (The

12-volt battery recharges automatically while the hybrid system is operating.)
