12-volt battery precautions
The 12-volt battery contains poisonous and corrosive acidic electrolyte, while related
parts contain lead and lead compounds. Observe the following precautions when han-
dling the 12-volt battery:
●
When working with the 12-volt battery, always wear safety glasses and take care not
to allow any battery fluids (acid) to come into contact with skin, clothing or the vehicle
body.
●
Do not lean over the 12-volt battery.
●
In the event that battery fluid comes into contact with the skin or eyes, immediately
wash the affected area with water and seek medical attention.
Place a wet sponge or cloth over the affected area until medical attention can be
received.
●
Always wash your hands after handling the 12-volt battery support, terminals, and
other battery-related parts.
●
Do not allow children near the 12-volt battery.
■
After recharging the 12-volt battery
Have the 12-volt battery inspected at your Lexus dealer as soon as possible.
If the 12-volt battery is deteriorating, continued use may cause the 12-volt battery to
emit a malodorous gas, which may be detrimental to the health of passengers.
■
When exchanging the 12-volt battery
After exchanging, securely attach the exhaust hose and exhaust hole plug to the
exhaust hole of the exchanged 12-volt battery. If not properly installed, gases (hydro-
gen) may leak into the vehicle interior, and there is the possible danger of the gas ignit-
ing and exploding.
NOTICE

When handling jumper cables
When connecting the jumper cables, ensure that they do not become entangled in the
cooling fans or belt.

To prevent damaging the vehicle
The exclusive jump starting terminal is to be used when charging the 12-volt battery
from another vehicle in an emergency. It cannot be used to jump start another vehicle.
