WARNING
ś
Never clean the cooling duct of the
hybrid battery with a wet cloth. If
any water enters the cooling duct
of the hybrid battery, the hybrid
battery may cause an electric shock,
resulting in a serious damage, an
injury or a death.
ś
The hybrid battery is composed of
lithium-ion polymer. If the hybrid
battery is improperly handled, it is
dangerous to the environment. Also
it may cause electrical shock and
severe burns, resulting in a serious
injury or a death.
ś
Do not spill liquid over the cooling
duct of the hybrid battery. Doing
so is very dangerous. It may cause
electric shock or serious injury.
ś
Do not cover the cooling duct with
objects.
ś
Do not put any objects into the
cooling duct of the hybrid battery.
Doing so may cause loss of cooling
duct volume to the hybrid battery.
When the cooling duct is blocked
with any objects, immediately
contact your HYUNDAI dealer.
ś
Never place a container of liquid on
or near the cooling duct. If the liquid
spills, the hybrid battery located in
the under floor may be damaged.
ś
Do not obstruct the cooling duct
with any other objects.
