761-4. Hybrid system
■Running out of fuel
When the vehicle has run out of fuel
and the hybrid system cannot be
started, refuel th e vehicle with at
least enough gasoline to make the
low fuel level warning light ( P.462)
go off. If there is only a small
amount of fuel, th e hybrid system
may not be able to start. (The stan-
dard amount of fuel is about 2.3 gal.
[8.8 L, 1.9 Imp.gal.], when the vehi-
cle is on a level su rface. This value
may vary when the vehicle is on a
slope. Add extra fuel when the vehi-
cle is inclined.)
■Electromagnetic waves
●High voltage parts and cables on
Hybrid Electric Vehicles incorpo-
rate electromagnetic shielding,
and therefore emi t approximately
the same amount of electromag-
netic waves as conventional gaso-
line powered vehicles or home
electronic appliances.
●Your vehicle may cause sound
interference in so me third party-
produced radio parts.
■Hybrid battery (tr action battery)
The hybrid battery (traction battery)
has a limited service life. The lifes-
pan of the hybrid battery (traction
battery) can change in accordance
with driving style and driving condi-
tions.
■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 t he outside tem-
perature, it may no t be possible to
start the hybrid system. In this case,
try to start the hybrid system again
after the temperature 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 volt-
age 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 volt-
age parts, cables or their con-
nectors.
●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 under-
neath the rear seats. The ser-
vice plug is used only when the
vehicle is serviced and is sub-
ject to high voltage.
■Road accident cautions
Observe the following precautions
to reduce the risk of death or seri-
ous injury:
●Pull your vehicle off the road,
shift the shift le ver to P, apply
the parking brake, and turn the
hybrid system off.
●Do not touch the high voltage
parts, cables and connectors.
