ardous to the environment or someone may touch a high voltage p art,
resulting in an electric shock.

Electric Vehicle. If the hybrid battery is used outside of your vehicle or
modified in any way, accidents such as electric shock, heat gen eration,
smoke generation, an explosion and electrolyte leakage may occur.
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.
