the high voltage cables (orange colored) and their
connectors.

age parts.

CAUTION
If an accident occurs
D
Pull your vehicle off the road, push the "P" posi-
tion switch, stop the hybrid system and if the key
is inserted into key slot, remove it.
D
In order to avoid personal injuries, do not touch
any high voltage wirings and their connectors, and
high voltage parts (inverter unit, hybrid battery,
etc.).
D
If some exposed electric wires are protruding in-
side or outside of your vehicle, an electric shock
may occur. Never touch the electric wires.
D
If fluid leaks or gets in some parts of the vehicle,
never touch it because it may be electrolyte
(strong alkali) from the hybrid 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.
D
If a vehicle fire occurs, extinguish it using a fire
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.
