CAUTION

■

High voltage precautions

The vehicle has high voltage DC and AC systems as well as a 12 volt system. DC

and AC high voltage 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 voltage parts, cables and

their connectors.

●

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 caution labels attached to the vehicle.

●

Never try to open the service plug access hole located in the luggage compart-

ment. The service plug is used only when the vehicle is serviced and is subject to

high voltage.
