CAUTION

10
If an accident occurs
Pull your Toyota off the road,
put the selector lever in “P”
and remove the ignition key.
In order to avoid personal in-
juries, do not touch any high
voltage wirings and their con-
nectors, and high voltage
parts (inverter unit, hybrid ve-
hicle battery, etc.).
If some exposed electric wir-
ings are protruding inside or
outside of your Toyota, an
electric shock may occur.
Never touch the electric wir-
ings.
If fluid leaks or gets in some
parts of the vehicle, never
touch it because it may be
electrolyte (strong alkali) from
the hybrid vehicle battery. If
it gets into your skin or eyes,
wash off immediately with a
large amount of water, if pos-
sible, boric acid solution, and
get immediate medical atten-
tion in order to help avoid
serious injury.
If a vehicle fire occurs, extin-
guish it using a fire extin-
guisher for the exclusive use
on electric fires. Or, use a
large amount of water to pre-
vent flammable gas from be-
ing generated from the batter-
ies.
When your Toyota needs to
be towed, do it with the front
wheels raised. For details on
towing, see “If your vehicle
needs to be towed” on page
180 in Section 5.

CAUTION
High Voltage
Your vehicle is equipped with
cables connected to parts of
the vehicle subject to high volt-
age (about 300 V). There are
some other parts which reach
high temperatures when you are
driving. Never touch battery
cables (wrapped in orangecol-
ored harnesses) and their con-
nector since high voltages are
applied and they are dangerous.
Caution labels are applied to
these parts to identify them.
Carefully observe the instruc-
tions on these caution labels.
