WARNING
■
Hybrid battery (traction battery)
● Your vehicle contains a sealed lith-
ium-ion battery.
●
Never resell, hand over or modify
the hybrid battery. To prevent acci-
dents, hybrid batteries that have
been removed from a disposed
vehicle are collected through a
SUZUKI dealer or a qualified work-
shop. Do not dispose of the battery
yourself. Unless the battery is prop-
erly collected, the following may
occur, resulting in death or serious
injury:
• The hybrid battery may be illegally
disposed of or dumped, and it is
hazardous to the environment or
someone may touch a high voltage
part, resulting in an electric shock.
• The hybrid battery is intended to be
used exclusively with your hybrid
vehicle. If the hybrid battery is used
outside of your vehicle or modified
in any way, accidents such as elec-
tric shock, heat generation, smoke
generation, an explosion and elec-
trolyte leakage may occur.
When reselling or handing over
your vehicle, the possibility of an
accident is extremely high because
the person receiving the vehicle
may not be aware of these dangers.
●
If your vehicle is disposed of with-
out the hybrid battery having been
removed, there is a danger of seri-
ous electric shock if high voltage
parts, cables and their connectors
are touched. In the event that your
vehicle must be disposed of, the
hybrid battery must be disposed of
by a SUZUKI dealer or a qualified
workshop, or a qualified service
shop. If the hybrid battery is not dis-
posed of properly, it may cause
electric shock that can result in
death or serious injury.
■
Caution while driving
If the vehicle under floor area
receives strong shock or impact while
driving, stop the vehicle in a safe area
and check around the bottom of the
vehicle. If there is damage to the
hybrid battery (traction battery) or liq-
uid leakage, it may lead to a vehicle
fire, etc. Do not touch the vehicle and
immediately contact a SUZUKI dealer
or a qualified workshop.
■
Modifications
Do not modify the vehicle to make the
height lower.
It is easier for the hybrid battery (trac-
tion battery) in the under floor area to
come in contact with the ground when
the vehicle is lowered. If the hybrid
battery (traction battery) is damaged,
a vehicle fire may occur which could
lead to death or serious injury.
NOTICE
■
Notice about fuel
● For plug-in hybrid vehicles, fuel
may remain in the tank for a long
time and undergo changes in qual-
ity depending on the how the vehi-
cle is used. Refuel at least 20 L (5.3
gal., 4.4 Imp.gal.) of fuel every 12
months (refuel a total of at least 20
L [5.3 gal., 4.4 Imp.gal.] over a 12-
month period), as this may affect
components of the fuel system or
the gasoline engine.
●
If the vehicle has not been refueled
for a certain amount of time and it is
possible that the quality of the fuel
remaining in the tank has changed,
“No New Fuel has been Added
Recently Please refuel” is displayed
on the multi-information display
when the power switch is turned to
ON. If the message is displayed,
refuel the vehicle immediately.
