WARNING
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 system 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 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 rear wheels raised. If the wheels con-
●
nected to the electric motor (traction motor) are on the ground when towing, the
motor may continue to generate electricity. This may cause a fire. (P. 454)
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.
