CAUTION
If an accident occurs
Pull your Toyota off the road, put the selector le-
D
ver in "P" and remove the ignition key.
In order to avoid personal injuries, do not touch
D
any high voltage wirings and their connectors, and
high voltage parts (inverter unit, hybrid vehicle
battery, etc.).
If some exposed electric wirings are protruding in-
D
side or outside of your Toyota, an electric shock
may occur. Never touch the electric wirings.
If fluid leaks or gets in some parts of the vehicle,
D
never
touch it because it may be electrolyte
(strong alkali) from the hybrid vehicle battery. If it
gets into your skin or eyes, wash off immediately
with a large amount of water, if possible, boric
acid solution, and get immediate medical attention
in order to help avoid serious injury.
If a vehicle fire occurs, extinguish it using a fire
D
extinguisher for the exclusive use on electric fires.
Or, use a large amount of water to prevent flam-
mable gas from being generated from the batteries.
When your Toyota needs to be towed, do it with
D
the front wheels raised. For details on towing, see
"If your vehicle needs to be towed" on page 182 in
Section 5.
