Introduction

A battery in a stored vehicle is subject to conditions that can reduce its performance and life.
These conditions include storage period, temperature, parasitic drain, and battery load. Because
of these factors, battery inspection and maintenance are required in order to ensure proper
operation and optimal battery life.

As a matter of policy, Toyota does NOT provide battery warranty coverage for discharged and/or
failed batteries due to lack of maintenance. It is the dealer's responsibility to maintain the
specified State of Charge (SOC) of the vehicle's battery while in stock and assure proper State of
Charge (SOC) at delivery.

To eliminate customer service concerns due to an undercharged battery during the first few
weeks of ownership, all dealers should check battery State of Charge (SOC) and recharge, if
necessary, within 48 hours of delivery to customers.
