WARNING
If your vehicle is disposed of without
●
the traction battery having been
removed, there is a danger of serious
electric shock if high voltage parts,
cables and their connectors are
touched. In the event that your vehicle
must be disposed of, the traction bat-
tery must be disposed of by your Lexus
dealer or a qualified service shop. If
the traction battery is not disposed of
properly, it may cause electric shock
that can result in death or serious
injury.
● For information about traction battery
collection locations, contact informa-
tion, or the recycling process, contact
your Lexus dealer.
■ Caution while driving
Pay special attention to the area
●
around the vehicle. Because there is
no engine noise, pedestrians, people
riding bicycles or other people and
vehicles in the area may not be aware
of the vehicle starting off or approach-
ing them, so take extra care while driv-
ing. Therefore, take extra care while
driving even if the Acoustic Vehicle
Alerting System is active.
If the vehicle under floor area receives
●
strong shock or impact while driving,
stop the vehicle in a safe place and
check around the bottom of the vehi-
cle. If there is damage to the traction
battery or liquid leakage, it may lead to
a vehicle fire, etc. Do not touch the
vehicle and immediately contact your
Lexus dealer.
Even if no damage can be seen under
the floor, the traction battery may be
damaged. If the vehicle received an
impact under the floor, have the trac-
tion battery inspected at your Lexus
dealer.

possibly resulting in death or serious
injury.
