7-2. Steps to take in an emergency
WARNING
In the event that battery fluid comes
●
into contact with the skin or eyes,
immediately wash the affected area
with water and seek medical attention.
Place a wet sponge or cloth over the
affected area until medical attention
can be received.
●
Always wash your hands after handling
the 12-volt battery support, terminals,
and other battery-related parts.
●
Do not allow children near the 12-volt
battery.
After recharging the 12-volt battery
■
Have the 12-volt battery inspected at
your Lexus dealer as soon as possible.
If the 12-volt battery is deteriorating, con-
tinued use may cause the 12-volt battery
to emit a malodorous gas, which may be
detrimental to the health of passengers.
■
When replacing the 12-volt battery
●
When the vent plug and indicator are
close to the hold down clamp, the bat-
tery fluid (sulfuric acid) may leak.
●
For information regarding 12-volt bat-
tery replacement, contact your Lexus
dealer.
●
After replacing, securely attach the
exhaust hose and exhaust hole plug to
the exhaust hole of the replaced
12-volt battery. If not properly installed,
gases (hydrogen) may leak into the
vehicle interior, and there is the possi-
ble danger of the gas igniting and
exploding.
NOTICE
When handling jumper cables
■
When connecting the jumper cables,
ensure that they do not become entan-
gled in the cooling fan or engine drive
belt.
