Starting the hybrid system when the 12 volt battery is discharged
The hybrid system cannot be started by push-starting. In addition, the shift
position may not changed from “P”.
Avoiding a discharged 12 volt battery
Turn off the headlights and the audio system while the hybrid system is
turned off.
Turn off any unnecessary electrical components when the vehicle is run-
ning at a low speed for an extended period, such as in heavy traffic, etc.

The hybrid system may not start. (

Start the engine of the second vehicle. Increase the engine
speed slightly and maintain at that level for approximately 5
minutes to recharge the 12 volt battery of your vehicle.
Turn the “POWER” switch to ACCESSORY mode.
Maintain the engine speed on the second vehicle and turn
the “POWER” switch to ON mode, then start your vehicle’s
hybrid system.
Make sure the “READY” indicator comes on. If the indicator
does not come on, contact your Toyota dealer.
Once the vehicle’s hybrid system has started, remove the
jumper cables in the exact reverse order in which they were
connected.
Once the hybrid system starts, have the vehicle checked at your
Toyota dealer as soon as possible.
