Road accident cautions
Observe the following precautions to reduce the risk of injury.
●
Pull your vehicle off the road, put the shift lever in “P”, apply the parking brake,
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 it 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 the rear wheels raised. If the wheels
with the electric motor (traction motor) are on the ground when towing, the
motor may continue to generate electricity. This may cause an electricity leakage
leading to a fire.(

Nickel-metal hydride battery
Your vehicle contains a sealed nickel-metal hydride battery. If disposed of improp-
erly, it is hazardous to the environment and there is a risk of severe burns and elec-
trical shock that may result in death or serious injury.

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.
