The following procedures may be used to start the engine if the bat-
tery is discharged.
You can call your Toyota dealer, Roadside Assistance or Toyota Cus-

cle with a 12 volt battery, you can jump start your Toyota following
the steps below.
Connecting the jumper cables.
Remove the engine cover.
If required, remove all vent plugs from the booster battery. Lay a
cloth over the open vents on the booster battery. (This helps
reduce the explosion hazard, personal injuries and burns.)

Positive (+) battery terminal on the second vehicle.
Negative (-) battery terminal on the second vehicle.
Connect the jumper cable to ground on your vehicles as shown
