WARNING
Even in the unlikely event that the hybrid battery (traction battery) is damaged, the
internal construction of the battery will prevent a large amount of electrolyte from
leaking out. However, any electrolyte that does leak out will give off a vapor. This vapor
is an irritant to skin and eyes and could cause acute poisoning if inhaled.
● Do not bring burning or high-temperature items close to the electrolyte.
The electrolyte may ignite and cause a fire.
If a fire occurs in the hybrid electric 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 four 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 a fire.
Check the ground under the vehicle. If a liquid other than water from the air condition-
●
ing system is found, the fuel system may have been damaged.
Do not start the hybrid system. If it is started as is, the leaked fuel may ignite.
Leave the vehicle as soon as possible, and contact your Lexus dealer.

shielding, and therefore emit approximately the same amount of electromagnetic
waves as conventional gasoline powered vehicles or home electronic appliances.
Your vehicle may cause sound interference in some third party-produced radio parts.
