WARNING
Road accident cautions
■
Observe the following precautions to reduce the risk of death or serious
injury:
Pull your vehicle off the road, apply the parking brake, shift the shift lever
●
to P, and turn the hybrid system off.
Do not touch the high voltage parts, cables and connectors.
●
If electric wires are exposed inside or outside your vehicle, an electric
●
shock may occur. Never touch exposed electric wires.
If a fluid leak occurs, do not touch the fluid as it may be strong alkaline
●
electrolyte from the hybrid battery (traction battery). If it comes into contact
with your skin or eyes, wash it off immediately with a large amount of water
or, if possible, boric acid solution. Seek immediate medical attention.
If a fire occurs in the hybrid 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. (→P. 540)
Carefully inspect the ground under the vehicle. If you find that liquid has
●
leaked onto the ground, the fuel system may have been damaged. Leave
the vehicle as soon as possible.
