PROPOSITION 65 WARNING!
Battery posts, terminals, and related accesso-
ries contain lead and lead compounds, chemi-
cals known to the state of California to cause
cancer and reproductive harm. Wash hands
after handling.
If an external auxiliary battery is used to start the
vehicle, use the connection points in the
engine compartment. The start battery's termi-
nals should never be used. See the following
illustration for the location of the connection
points.
CAUTION
It is not possible to charge another vehicle's
battery using the connection points in the
engine compartment. If the connection points
are used to charge another vehicle's battery,
this may cause a fuse to blow, which means
that the connection points will not function.

Only modern battery chargers should be used to
charge the start battery. Quick charge functions
should not be used and could damage the bat-
tery.
If both the start and hybrid batteries are fully dis-
charged, both will have to be charged. Only
charging the hybrid battery in this situation is not
possible. Before the hybrid battery can be
charged, the start battery must be charged to a
certain level.

The infotainment system's energy-saving
feature may not function correctly or at
all, and/or a message may be displayed if
a battery charger or jumper cables are
not connected properly.
•
The negative terminal on the battery must
never be used to connect a jumper cable
or a battery charger. Only the ground
point on the chassis may be used.
