1-4. Hybrid system
For safety and security
WARNING
●Do not touch the high voltage parts, cables and connectors.
●If electric wires are exposed inside or outside your vehicle, an electric
shock may occur. Never touch exposed electric wires.
●If a fire occurs in the hybrid vehicle, leave the vehicle as soon as possi-ble. Never use a fire extinguisher
that is not meant for electric fires. Using even a small amount of water may be dangerous.
●If your vehicle needs to be towed, do so with the front wheels (2WD
models) or four wheels (AWD mod- els) 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 a fire.
( P.433)
●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 possi- ble.
●Do not touch the battery if liquid is leaking from or adhering to it. If electrolyte (carbonate ester-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 contact with the eyes or
skin, wash it off immediately with a large amount of water, and seek immediate medical attention.
●If electrolyte is leaking from the hybrid battery (traction battery), do not approach the vehicle. Even in
the unlikely event that the hybrid battery (traction battery) is dam-aged, the internal construction of
the battery will prevent a large amount of electrolyte from leaking out. However, any electrolyte that
does leak out will give off a vapor. This vapor is an irritant to skin and eyes and could cause acute poi-
soning if inhaled.
●Do not bring burning or high-tem-
perature items close to the electro- lyte. The electrolyte may ignite and cause a fire.
■Hybrid battery (traction battery)
●Your vehicle contains a sealed lith-
ium-ion battery.
●Never resell, hand over or modify
the hybrid battery. To prevent acci- dents, hybrid batteries that have been removed from a disposed
vehicle are collected through any authorized Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or any reliable
repairer. Do not dispose of the bat- tery yourself.
Unless the battery is properly col-
lected, the following may occur,
resulting in death or serious injury:
• The hybrid battery may be illegally disposed of or dumped, and it is
hazardous to the environment or someone may touch a high voltage part, resulting in an electric shock.
• The hybrid battery is intended to be used exclusively with your hybrid
vehicle. If the hybrid battery is used outside of your vehicle or modified in any way, accidents such as elec-
tric shock, heat generation, smoke generation, an explosion and elec-trolyte leakage may occur.
