treats the call as an emergency, con-
tacts the nearest emergency services
provider to describe the situation, and
requests that assistance be sent to the
location.

shielding, and therefore emit approxi-
mately the same amount of electromag-
netic waves as conventional gasoline
powered vehicles or home electronic
appliances.
●Your vehicle may cause sound interfer-
ence in some third party-produced radio
parts.
■Hybrid battery (traction battery)
The hybrid battery (traction battery) has a
limited service life. The lifespan of the
hybrid battery (traction battery) can
change in accordance with driving style and
driving conditions.
■Starting the hybrid system in an
extremely cold environment
When the hybrid battery (traction battery)
is extremely cold (below approximately -
22°F [-30°C]) under the influence of the
outside temperature, it may not be possible
to start the hybrid system. In this case, try to
start the hybrid system again after the tem-
perature of the hybrid battery increases due
to the outside temperature increase etc.
WARNING
■High voltage precautions
This vehicle has high voltage DC and AC
systems as well as a 12-volt system. DC
and AC high voltage is very dangerous
and can cause severe burns and electric
shock that may result in death or serious
injury.
●Never touch, disassemble, remove or
replace the high voltage parts, cables
or their connectors.
●The hybrid system will become hot
after starting as the system uses high
voltage. Be careful of both the high
voltage and the high temperature, and
always obey the warning labels
attached to the vehicle.
●Never try to open the service plug
access hole located behind the rear
seats. The service pl ug is used only
when the vehicle is serviced and is
subject to high voltage.
■Road accident cautions
Observe the following precautions to
reduce the risk of de ath or serious injury:
●Stop the vehicle in a safe place to pre-
vent subsequent accidents. While
depressing the brake pedal, apply the
parking brake and sh ift the shift posi-
tion to P to stop the hybrid system.
Then, slowly release the brake pedal.
●Do not touch the high voltage parts,
cables and connectors.
●If electric wires ar e exposed inside or
outside your vehicle, an electric shock
may occur. Never touch exposed elec-
tric wires.
●Do not touch the battery if liquid is
leaking from or adhering to it.
If electrolyte (carbonic-based organic
electrolyte) from the hybrid battery
(traction battery) comes into contact
with the eyes or skin, it could cause
blindness or skin wounds. In the
unlikely event that it comes into con-
tact with the eyes or skin, wash it off
immediately with a large amount of
water, and seek immediate medical
attention.

WARNING
■Caution for use while driving
●When operating the multi-information
display while driving, pay extra atten-
tion to the safety of the area around the
vehicle.
●Do not look continuously at the multi-
information display while driving as
you may fail to see pedestrians, objects
on the road, etc. ahead of the vehicle.
■The information display at low tem-
peratures
Allow the interior of the vehicle to warm
up before using the liquid crystal infor-
mation display. At extremely low tem-
peratures, the information display
monitor may respond slowly, and display
changes may be delayed.
For example, there is a lag between the
driver’s shifting and the new gear number
appearing on the display. This lag could
cause the driver to downshift again,
causing rapid and excessive engine brak-
ing and possibly an accident resulting in
death or injury.
