WARNING

■

Replacing a flat tire

●

Do not touch the disc wheels or

the area around the brakes

immediately after the vehicle

has been driven. After the vehi-

cle has been driven the disc

wheels and the area around the

brakes will be extremely hot.

Touching these areas with

hands, feet or other body parts

while changing a tire, etc. may

result in burns.

●

Failure to follow these precau-

tions could cause the wheel

nuts to loosen and the tire to fall

off, resulting in death or serious

injury.

• Have the wheel nuts tightened

with a torque wrench to 76 ft•lbf

(103 N•m, 10.5 kgf•m) as soon

as possible after changing

wheels.

• Do not attach a heavily dam-

aged wheel ornament, as it may

fly off the wheel while the vehi-

cle is moving.

• When installing a tire, only use

wheel nuts that have been spe-

cifically designed for that wheel.

• If there are any cracks or defor-

mations in the bolt screws, nut

threads or bolt holes of the

wheel, have the vehicle

inspected by your Toyota

dealer.

• When installing the wheel nuts,

be sure to install them with the

tapered ends facing inward.

■

Starting the hybrid system

when the 12-volt battery is dis-

charged

The hybrid system cannot be started

by push-starting.

■

To prevent 12-volt battery dis-

charge

●

Turn off the headlights and the

audio system while the hybrid sys-

tem is off.

●

Turn off any unnecessary electri-

cal components when the vehicle

is running at a low speed for an

extended period, such as in heavy

traffic.

■

When the 12-volt battery is

removed or discharged

●

Information stored in the ECU is

cleared. When the 12-volt battery

is depleted, have the vehicle

inspected at your Toyota dealer.

●

Some systems may require initial-

ization. (

P.536)

■

When removing the 12-volt bat-

tery terminals

When the 12-volt battery terminals

are removed, the information stored

in the ECU is cleared. Before

removing the 12-volt battery termi-

nals, contact your Toyota dealer.

■

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 drain-

ing effects of certain electrical appli-

ances. If the vehicle is left for a long

time, the 12-volt battery may dis-

charge, and the hybrid system may

be unable to start. (The 12-volt bat-

tery recharges automatically while

the hybrid system is operating.)

■

When recharging or replacing

the 12-volt battery

●

In some cases, it may not be pos-

sible 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 has recharged but

will start normally after the second

attempt. This is not a malfunction.

●

The power switch mode is memo-

rized by the vehicle. When the

12-volt battery is reconnected, the

system will return to the mode it

was in before the 12-volt battery

was discharged. Before discon-

necting the 12-volt battery, turn

the power switch off.

If you are unsure what mode the

500

8-2. Steps to take in an emergency

power switch was in before the

12-volt battery discharged, be

especially careful when recon-

necting the 12-volt battery.

■

When replacing the 12-volt bat-

tery

●

Use a 12-volt battery that con-

forms to European regulations.

●

Use a 12-volt battery with the

same case size as the previous

12-volt battery and an equivalent

20 hour rate capacity (20HR) or

greater.

• If the sizes differ, the 12-volt bat-

tery cannot be properly secured.

• If the 20 hour rate capacity is low,

even if the time period where the

vehicle is not used is a short time,

the 12-volt battery may discharge

and the hybrid system may not be

able to start.

●

For details, consult your Toyota

dealer.

WARNING

■

When removing the 12-volt

battery terminals

Always remove the negative (-)

terminal first. If the positive (+) ter-

minal contacts any metal in the

surrounding area when the posi-

tive (+) terminal is removed, a

spark may occur, leading to a fire

in addition to electrical shocks

and death or serious injury.

■

Avoiding 12-volt battery fires

or explosions

Observe the following precautions

to prevent accidentally igniting the

flammable gas that may be emit-

ted from the 12-volt battery:

●

Make sure each jumper cable is

connected to the correct termi-

nal and that it is not unintention-

ally in contact with any other

than the intended terminal.

●

Do not allow the other end of

the jumper cable connected to

the “+” terminal to come into

contact with any other parts or

metal surfaces in the area, such

as brackets or unpainted metal.

●

Do not allow the + and - clamps

of the jumper cables to come

into contact with each other.

●

Do not smoke, use matches,

cigarette lighters or allow open

flame near the 12-volt battery.

■

12-volt battery precautions

The 12-volt battery contains poi-

sonous and corrosive acidic elec-

trolyte, while related parts contain

lead and lead compounds.

Observe the following precautions

when handling the 12-volt battery:

●

When working with the 12-volt

battery, always wear safety

glasses and take care not to

allow any battery fluids (acid) to

come into contact with skin,

clothing or the vehicle body.

●

Do not lean over the 12-volt bat-

tery.

●

In the event that battery fluid

comes into contact with the skin

or eyes, immediately wash the

affected area with water and

seek medical attention. Place a

wet sponge or cloth over the

affected area until medical

attention can be received.
