Lexus 2014 RX 450h, Warranty And Services Manual

Page: 81 / 82

Your RX 450h is a gas/electric hybrid
vehicle that has both high-voltage DC
and AC systems as well as a 12-volt
system. Both DC and AC high voltage
are very dangerous and can cause
personal injury, severe burns, electric
shock and even fatal injury unless
appropriate precautions are taken.
To avoid personal injury, please
follow all caution labels attached
to high-voltage parts. Do not touch
or attempt to remove or replace
any high-voltage (orange-colored)
wiring and connectors. Do not touch
the service plug behind the trim under
the left rear seat.
If an accident occurs, do not touch
any high-voltage wiring, connectors
or parts such as the inverter under the
hood or the hybrid battery assembly
under the rear seat.
Do not touch the potassium hydroxide
electrolyte that might spill or leak from
the hybrid battery as the result of an
accident. If potassium hydroxide
electrolyte gets on your skin or in
your eyes, neutralize it immediately
with a saturated boric acid solution
(ratio: 80 grams boric acid to two
liters water). Seek immediate medical
attention.
If a vehicle fire occurs, extinguish
it with a Class D powder-type fire
extinguisher.
Lexus recommends having
maintenance and repairs for
your vehicle performed by an
