If Trouble Arises

Depleted Lead-acid Battery

Jump-Starting

▼ Jump-Starting

The lead-acid battery might be depleted if the following conditions occur.

^ The EV system does not start.

^ The selector lever cannot be shifted to a position other than P.

^ The horn sound is weak or it does not sound.

^ The brightness of the lights is extremely low.

Jump-starting is dangerous if done incorrectly. So follow the procedure carefully. If

you feel unsure about jump-starting, we strongly recommend that you have a

competent service technician do the work.

Using commercially available booster cables, connect the lead-acid battery of the

booster vehicle’s battery to the lead-acid battery of your vehicle and start the EV

system.

WARNING

Follow These Precautions Carefully:

To ensure safe and correct handling of the lead-acid battery, read the following

precautions carefully before using the lead-acid battery or inspecting it.

Keep flames and sparks away from open lead-acid battery cells and do not

allow metal tools to contact the positive (+) or negative (-) terminal of the

lead-acid battery when working near a lead-acid battery. Do not allow the

positive (+) terminal to contact the vehicle body:

Flames and sparks near open lead-acid battery cells are dangerous. Hydrogen gas,

produced during normal lead-acid battery operation, could ignite and cause the

lead-acid battery to explode. An exploding lead-acid battery can cause serious burns

and injuries. Keep all flames including cigarettes and sparks away from open

lead-acid battery cells.

7-12

If Trouble Arises

Depleted Lead-acid Battery

Keep all flames and sparks away from open lead-acid battery cells because

hydrogen gas is produced from open lead-acid battery cells while charging the

lead-acid battery or adding lead-acid battery fluid:

Flames and sparks near open lead-acid battery cells are dangerous. Hydrogen gas,

produced during normal lead-acid battery operation, could ignite and cause the

lead-acid battery to explode. An exploding lead-acid battery can cause serious burns

and injuries. Keep all flames including cigarettes and sparks away from open

lead-acid battery cells.

Do not jump-start a frozen lead-acid battery or one with a low fluid level:

Jump-starting a frozen lead-acid battery or one with a low fluid level is dangerous. It

may rupture or explode, causing serious injury.

Connect the negative cable to a good ground point away from the lead-acid

battery:

Connecting the end of the second jumper cable to the negative (-) terminal of the

depleted lead-acid battery is dangerous.

A spark could cause the gas around the lead-acid battery to explode and injure

someone.

Route the jumper cables away from parts that will be moving:

Connecting a jumper cable near or to moving part (cooling fans) is dangerous. The

cable could get caught when the EV system starts and cause serious injury.

CAUTION

¾ Connect the booster cables with extreme care.

¾ Do not jump-start the vehicle with the charging cable connected to your vehicle.

Otherwise, the vehicle could be damaged.

¾ Do not use your vehicle as a booster vehicle.

NOTE

^ If your lead-acid battery is depleted, make sure that the booster vehicle's battery is

a lead-acid battery.

1. Move the booster vehicle so that its lead-acid battery is as close as possible to

your vehicle's lead-acid battery.

2. Make sure that the power switch is switched OFF.
