CAUTION
Pull your vehicle off the road, put the transmission in
the “P” position, apply the parking brake, turn the
hybrid system off and remove the key.
In order to avoid personal injuries, do not touch high
voltage wiring, connectors and high voltage parts
(inverter unit, traction battery and etc.).
If exposed electric wires are protruding inside or out-
side of your vehicle, an electric shock may occur.
Never touch the electric wires.
If fluid leaks or gets into some parts of the vehicle,
never touch it because it may be strong alkaline elec-
trolyte from the traction battery. If it contacts your
skin or eyes, wash it off immediately with a large
amount of water or if possible, boric acid solution.
Get immediate medical attention in order to help
avoid serious injury.
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 use on electric fires. Using a
small amount of water may be also dangerous.
