WARNING
This hybrid vehicle uses the hybrid
battery system inverter and con-
verter to generate high voltage.
High voltage in the hybrid battery
system is very dangerous and may
cause severe burns and electric
shock. This may result in serious
injury or death.
For your safety, never touch,
replace, disassemble or remove
the hybrid battery system includ-
ing components, cables and con-
nectors. Severe burns or electric
shock may result in serious injury
or death when you fail to follow
this warning.
When the hybrid battery system
operates, the hybrid battery sys-
tem can be hot. Always be careful
because burns or electric shock
may be caused by high voltage.
Do not spill liquid on the HPCU,
HSG, motor and fuses. If the
hybrid system components come
in contact with liquid, it may
result in electric shock.
