2-1. Plug-in hybrid system
WARNING
● 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 possible.
■ Hybrid battery (traction bat-
tery)
● Your vehicle contains a sealed
lithium-ion battery.
● Never resell, hand over or mod-
ify the hybrid battery. To prevent
accidents, hybrid batteries that
have been removed from a dis-
posed vehicle are collected
through Toyota dealer. Do not
dispose of the battery yourself.
Unless the battery is properly
collected, the following may
occur, resulting in death or seri-
ous injury:
• The hybrid battery may be ille-
gally disposed of or dumped,
and it is hazardous to the envi-
ronment 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 bat-
tery is used outside of your
vehicle or modified in any way,
accidents such as electric
shock, heat generation, 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.
● If your vehicle is disposed of
without the hybrid battery hav-
ing been removed, there is a
danger of serious electric shock
if high voltage parts, cables and
their connectors are touched. In
the event that your vehicle must
be disposed of, the hybrid bat-
tery must be disposed of by
your Toyota dealer or a qualified
service shop. If the hybrid bat-
tery is not disposed of properly,
it may cause electric shock that
can result in death or serious
injury.
■ Caution while driving
If the vehicle under floor area
receives strong shock or impact
while driving, stop the vehicle in a
safe area and check around the
bottom of the vehicle. If there is
damage to the hybrid battery
(traction battery) or liquid leakage,
it may lead to a vehicle fire, etc.
Do not touch the vehicle and
immediately contact your Toyota
dealer.
■ Modifications
Do not modify the vehicle to make
the height lower.
It is easier for the hybrid battery
(traction battery) in the under floor
area to come in contact with the
ground when the vehicle is low-
ered. If the hybrid battery (traction
battery) is damaged, a vehicle fire
may occur which could lead to
death or serious injury.
