1-1. Hybrid system
If a warning light comes on or a warning message is displayed, or the 12 volt bat-
■
tery is disconnected
The hybrid system may not start. In that case, try to start the system again. If the
"READY" light does not come on, contact your Lexus dealer.
CAUTION
High voltage precautions
■
The vehicle has high voltage DC and AC systems as well as a 12 volt system. 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 and
●
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 temperature, and always obey
the caution labels attached to the vehicle.
Never try to open the service plug access hole located in the luggage compart-
●
ment. The service plug is used only when the vehicle is serviced and is subject to
high voltage.
Nickel-metal hydride battery
■
Your vehicle contains a sealed nickel-metal hydride battery. If disposed of improp-
erly, it is hazardous to the environment and there is a risk of severe burns and elec-
trical shock that may result in death or serious injury.
