2006 Lexus RX 400h Owners Manual - Page 50

HYBRID VEHICLE OVERVIEW D If your vehicle needs to be towed, do it with the front wheels raised (front wheel drive models) or all four wheels raised (all wheel drive models). If the wheels with the traction motor are on the ground when towing, the motor may continue to generate electricity. This may cause the electricity leakage. Depending on the severity of the damage, electricity leakage may cause fire. See "If your vehicle needs to be towed" on page 499. Emergency shut off system The emergency shut off system blocks off the high voltage current and stops the fuel pump to minimize the risk of the electric leakage and the fuel leakage when a certain level of impact is detected by the impact sensor. If the system activates, your vehicle will not restart. To restart the hybrid system, contact a Lexus dealer. CAUTION D Check to see if there are exposed high voltage parts and cables. Never touch the parts and cables. See "High voltage components" on page 8 for the locations of the high voltage parts and cables. D 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. 14
