If an airbag inflates or the vehicle has been in a
crash, the vehicle's sensing system may command
the automatic hybrid battery disconnect to open.
The battery will disconnect. The hybrid battery will be
off and the vehicle will not start. The airbag readiness
light and/or SERVICE HYBRID SYSTEM warning
message may come on in the driver information center.
See “Airbag Readiness Light” in the owner manual and
Driver Information Center (DIC)
on page 4‑12for more
information.
To operate the vehicle, the automatic hybrid battery
disconnect must be reconnected by a qualified service
technician and sensing system parts will need to be
replaced. Have the vehicle serviced right away.
