Safety Precautions
Your Toyota Prius has both high-voltage DC and AC systems as well as a 12-volt system. Both DC and AC high voltage are very dangerous and can cause personal injury, severe burns, electric shock and even fatal injury.
To avoid personal injury, please follow all caution labels attached to high-voltage parts. Do not touch or attempt to remove or replace any high-voltage (orange-colored) wiring and connectors. Do not touch the service plug located in the driver’s side trim of the trunk.
If an accident occurs, do not touch any high-voltage wiring, connectors or parts such as the inverter unit or hybrid vehicle battery assembly.
Do not touch the potassium hydroxide electrolyte that might spill or leak from the hybrid vehicle battery as a result of the accident. If potassium hydroxide electrolyte gets on your skin or in your eyes, neutralize it immediately with a saturated boric acid solution (ratio: 80 grams boric acid to two liters water). Seek immediate medical attention.
If a vehicle fire occurs, extinguish it with a Class D powder-type fire extinguisher.
