CAUTION
■
Hybrid battery collection
Never resell, handover or modify the hybrid battery.
If the hybrid battery is collected improperly and someone touches a high
voltage part, there is a risk of electric shock.
For safety and to prevent accidents, hybrid batteries that have been
removed from a disposed vehicle are collected through Toyota dealers. Do
not dispose of the battery yourself.
If the battery is improperly collected the following accidents may occur:
1. The hybrid battery may be illegally disposed of or dumped, and someone
may touch a high voltage part, resulting in an electric shock.
2. The hybrid battery is intended to be used exclusively with hybrid vehicles.
If the hybrid battery is used outside of its intended purpose (including modifi-
cations), accidents such as electric shock, heat generation, smoke genera-
tion, an explosion and alkaline electrolyte leakage may occur, possibly
causing death or serious injury.
When reselling or handing over your vehicle, the possibility of an accident is
extremely high if the person receiving the vehicle is not aware of these dan-
gers.
■
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 connectors are touched. In the event that your vehicle must
be disposed of, the hybrid battery must be disposed of by your Toyota 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.
