CAUTION
Hybrid battery (traction battery)
■
Your vehicle contains a sealed nickel-metal hydride 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 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 it is hazardous
to the environment or 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,
accidents 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.
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
connectors are touched. In the event that your vehicle must be disposed of, the
hybrid battery 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.

■
Carefully check to see if there are exposed high voltage parts or cables. Never
●
touch the parts or cables. (P. 81)
Carefully inspect the ground under the vehicle. If you find that liquid has leaked
●
onto the ground, the fuel system may have been damaged. Leave the vehicle as
soon as possible.
