8-2. Steps to take in an emergency

663

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

3

slightly and maintain at that level for approximately 5 minutes to

recharge the battery of your vehicle.

Vehicles with smart key system only: Open and close any of the

4

doors of your vehicle with the engine switch off.

Vehicles without smart key system:

5

Maintain the engine speed of the second vehicle and start the

engine of your vehicle.

Vehicles with smart key system:

Maintain the engine speed of the second vehicle and start the

engine of your vehicle by turning the engine switch to IGNITION

ON mode.

Once the vehicle’s engine has started, remove the jumper cables in

6

the exact reverse order from which they were connected.

Once the engine starts, have the vehicle inspected at your Toyota

dealer as soon as possible.

■ Starting the engine when the battery 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 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.

■Charging the battery

The electricity stored in the battery will discharge gradually even when the

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

8

tain electrical appliances. If the vehicle is left for a long time, the battery may

discharge, and the engine may be unable to start. (The battery recharges

automatically during driving.)

8-2. Steps to take in an emergency

■ When recharging or replacing the battery (vehicles with smart key sys-

tem)

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

key system when the battery is discharged. Use the wireless remote control

or the mechanical key to lock or unlock the doors.

● The engine may not start on the first attempt after the battery has recharged

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

● The engine switch mode is memorized by the vehicle. When the battery is

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

was discharged. Before disconnecting the battery, turn the engine switch off.

If you are unsure what mode the engine switch was in before the battery dis-

charged, be especially careful when reconnecting the battery.

■ When the battery is removed or discharged

● The power back door (if equipped) must be initialized. (→P. 121)

● The moon roof (if equipped) must be initialized. (→P. 162)

● Toyota parking assist monitor (if equipped) must be initialized. (Refer to

“NAVIGATION AND MULTIMEDIA SYSTEM OWNER’S MANUAL”)

● Panoramic view monitor (if equipped) must be initialized. (Refer to “NAVI-

GATION AND MULTIMEDIA SYSTEM OWNER’S MANUAL”)

WARNING

■ Avoiding battery fires or explosions

Observe the following precautions to prevent accidentally igniting the flam-

mable gas that may be emitted from the battery:

● Make sure each jumper cable is connected to the correct terminal and that

it is not unintentionally in contact with any other than the intended terminal.

● Do not allow the other end of the jumper cable connected to the “+” termi-

nal 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 battery.

WARNING

■Battery precautions

The battery contains poisonous and corrosive acidic electrolyte, while

related parts contain lead and lead compounds. Observe the following pre-

cautions when handling the battery:

● When working with the 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 battery.

● 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.

● Always wash your hands after handling the battery support, terminals, and

other battery-related parts.

● Do not allow children near the battery.

NOTICE

■ When handling jumper cables

When connecting the jumper cables, ensure that they do not become entan-

gled in the cooling fans or engine drive belt.

8-2. Steps to take in an emergency

If your vehicle overheats

The following may indicate that your vehicle is overheating.

● The needle of the engine coolant temperature gauge (→P. 85)

enters the red zone or a loss of engine power is experienced. (For

example, the vehicle speed does not increase.)

● The warning message indicating overheat is shown on the multi-

information display. (→P. 633)

● Steam comes out from under the hood.

Correction procedures

1

Stop the vehicle in a safe place and turn off the air conditioning sys-

tem, and then stop the engine.

2

If you see steam:

Carefully lift the hood after the steam subsides.

If you do not see steam:

Carefully lift the hood.

3

After the engine has cooled down sufficiently, inspect the hoses and

radiator core (radiator) for any leaks.

2

Cooling fans

If a large amount of coolant

leaks, immediately contact your

Toyota dealer.

The coolant level is satisfactory if it is between the “FULL” and

“LOW” lines on the reservoir.

1

Reservoir

2

“FULL” line

3

“LOW” line

Add coolant if necessary.

5

Water can be used in an emer-

gency if coolant is unavailable.

Start the engine and turn the air conditioning system on to check

6

that the radiator cooling fans operate and to check for coolant leaks

from the radiator or hoses.

The fans operate when the air conditioning system is turned on immedi-

ately after a cold start. Confirm that the fans are operating by checking the

fan sound and air flow. If it is difficult to check these, turn the air condition-

ing system on and off repeatedly. (The fans may not operate in freezing

temperatures.)

8

If the fans are not operating:

7

Stop the engine immediately and contact your Toyota dealer.

If the fans are operating:

Have the vehicle inspected at the nearest Toyota dealer.

If the vehicle becomes stuck

Carry out the following procedures if the tires spin or the vehicle

becomes stuck in mud, dirt or snow:

1

Stop the engine. Set the parking brake and shift the shift lever to P.

2

Remove the mud, snow or sand from around the stuck tire.

3

Place wood, stones or some other material to help provide traction

under the tires.

4

Restart the engine.

5

AWD models: Activate all-wheel drive lock mode. (→P. 299)

Shift the shift lever to D or R and release the parking brake. Then,

6

while exercising caution, depress the accelerator pedal.

Vehicle identification

■ Vehicle identification number

The vehicle identification number (VIN) is the legal identifier for

your vehicle. This is the primary identification number for your

Toyota. It is used in registering the ownership of your vehicle.

This number is stamped on the

top left of the instrument panel.

On some models, this number

is stamped under the right-hand

front seat.

This number is also on the Cer-

tification Label.

*: The engine oil capacity is a reference quantity to be used when changing

the engine oil. Warm up and turn off the engine, wait more than 5 minutes,

and check the oil level on the dipstick.

■ Engine oil selection

“Toyota Genuine Motor Oil” is used in your Toyota vehicle. Use

Toyota approved “Toyota Genuine Motor Oil” or equivalent to satisfy

the following grade and viscosity.

Oil grade: ILSAC GF-5 multigrade engine oil

Recommended viscosity: SAE 0W-20

SAE 0W-20 is the best choice

for good fuel economy and

good starting in cold weather.

If SAE 0W-20 is not available,

SAE 5W-20 oil may be used.

However, it must be replaced

with SAE 0W-20 at the next oil

Outside temperature

change.

Oil viscosity (0W-20 is explained here as an example):

• The 0W in 0W-20 indicates the characteristic of the oil which

allows cold startability. Oils with a lower value before the W allow

for easier starting of the engine in cold weather.

• The 20 in 0W-20 indicates the viscosity characteristic of the oil

9

when the oil is at high temperature. An oil with a higher viscosity

(one with a higher value) may be better suited if the vehicle is

operated at high speeds, or under extreme load conditions.
