CAUTION
●If your vehicle needs to be towed, do so with front wheels raised. If the wheels 
connected to the electric motor (traction motor) are on the ground when towing, 
the motor may continue to generate electricity. This may cause an electricity 
leakage leading to a fire. (
P.  4 8 3 )
●Carefully inspect the ground under the vehicle. If you find that liquid has leaked 
onto the ground, the fuel system may have been damaged. Leave the vehicle as 
soon as possible.
■Nickel-metal hydride battery
Your vehicle contains a sealed nickel-metal hydride battery. If disposed of improp-
erly, it is hazardous to the environment and there is a risk of severe burns and elec-
trical shock that may result in death or serious injury.
■Emergency shut off system
Carefully check to see if there are exposed high voltage parts or cables. Never 
touch the parts or cables. (
P.  2 7 )  
NOTICE
■Hybrid battery air vent
●Do not put foreign objects near the air ve nt. The hybrid battery (traction battery) 
may overheat and be damaged. 
●Clean the air vent regularly to prevent th e hybrid battery (traction battery) from 
overheating.
●Do not wet or allow foreign substances to enter the air vent as this may cause a 
short circuit and damage the hybrid battery (traction battery).
●Do not carry large amounts of water such as water cooler bottles in the vehicle. If 
water spills onto the hybrid battery (traction battery), the battery may be dam-
aged. Have the vehicle inspected by your Lexus dealer.
