Disposal Of The Hybrid Battery (Traction Battery) - Lexus CT 200h Owner's Manual

CAUTION
Hybrid battery (traction battery)
■
Never resell, hand over or modify the hybrid battery. To prevent accidents, hybrid
batteries that have been removed from a disposed vehicle are collected through
your Lexus dealer. Do not dispose of the battery yourself.
Unless the battery is properly collected, the following may occur, resulting in death
or serious injury:
The hybrid battery may be illegally disposed of or dumped, and someone may
●
touch a high voltage part, resulting in an electric shock.
The hybrid battery is intended to be used exclusively with your hybrid vehicle. If
●
the hybrid battery is used outside of your vehicle or modified in any way, acci-
dents such as electric shock, heat generation, smoke generation, an explosion
and electrolyte leakage may occur.
When reselling or handing over your vehicle, the possibility of an accident is
extremely high because the person receiving the vehicle may not be aware of these
dangers.

Disposal of the hybrid battery (traction battery)

■
If your vehicle is disposed of without the hybrid battery having been removed, there
is a danger of serious electric shock if high voltage parts, cables and their connec-
tors are touched. In the event that your vehicle must be disposed of, the hybrid bat-
tery must be disposed of by your Lexus dealer or a qualified service shop. If the
hybrid battery is not disposed of properly, it may cause electric shock that can result
in death or serious injury.
