WARNING

Road accident cautions
Observe the following precautions to reduce the risk of death or serious injury:

Stop the vehicle in a safe place to prevent subsequent accidents. While
depressing the brake pedal, apply the parking brake and shift the shift position
to P to stop the hybrid system. Then, slowly release the brake pedal.

Do not touch the high voltage parts, cables and connectors.

If electric wires are exposed inside or outside your vehicle, an electric shock
may occur. Never touch exposed electric wires.

If a fluid leak occurs, do not touch the fluid as it may be strong alkaline elec-
trolyte from the hybrid battery (traction battery). If it comes into contact with
your skin or eyes, wash it off immediately with a large amount of water or, if
possible, boric acid solution. Seek immediate medical attention.

If a fire occurs in the hybrid vehicle, leave the vehicle as soon as possible.
Never use a fire extinguisher that is not meant for electric fires. Using even a
small amount of water may be dangerous.

If your vehicle needs to be towed, do so with front wheels raised. If the
wheels connected to the electric motor (traction motor) are on the ground
when towing, the motor may continue to generate electricity. This may cause
an electricity leakage leading to a fire. (

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.
