WARNING
When reselling or handing over your vehicle, the possibility of an accident
is extremely high because the person receiving the vehicle may not be aware of these dangers.
●If your vehicle is disposed of with-out the hybrid battery having been

are touched. In the event that your vehicle must be disposed of, the hybrid battery must be disposed of
by any authorized Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or any reliable repairer. If the hybrid bat-
tery is not disposed of properly, it may cause electric shock that can result in death or serious injury.
