Electromagnetic waves
●
High voltage parts and cables on
hybrid vehicles incorporate electro-
magnetic shielding, and therefore emit
approximately the same amount of
electromagnetic waves as conven-
tional gasoline powered vehicles or
home electronic appliances.
Your vehicle may cause sound inter-
●
ference in some third party-produced
radio parts.

Hybrid battery (traction battery)
The hybrid battery (traction battery) has
a limited service life. The lifespan of the
hybrid battery (traction battery) can
change in accordance with driving style
and driving conditions.
■
Declaration of conformity
This model conforms to hydrogen emis-
sions according to regulation ECE100
(Battery electric vehicle safety).
WARNING
■
High voltage precautions
This vehicle has high voltage DC and
AC systems as well as a 12-volt sys-
tem. DC and AC high voltage is very
dangerous and can cause severe
burns and electric shock that may
result in death or serious injury.
Never touch, disassemble, remove
●
or replace the high voltage parts,
cables or their connectors.
The hybrid system will become hot
●
after starting as the system uses
high voltage. Be careful of both the
high voltage and the high tempera-
ture, and always obey the warning
labels attached to the vehicle.

Road accident cautions
Observe the following precautions to
reduce the risk of death or serious
injury:
Pull your vehicle off the road, apply
●
the parking brake, shift the shift
lever to P, and turn the hybrid sys-
tem off.
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
electrolyte 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 possi-
ble. Never use a fire extinguisher
that is not meant for electric fires.
Using even a small amount of water
may be dangerous.
