WARNING
• The hybrid battery is intended to be used exclusively with your hybrid electric
vehicle. If the hybrid battery 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.
● In the event that your vehicle must be disposed of, the hybrid battery must be disposed
of by any authorized Lexus retailer or Lexus authorized repairer, or any reliable
repairer. If your vehicle is disposed of without the hybrid battery having been removed,
there is a danger of serious electric shock if high voltage parts, cables and their
connectors are touched.
If the hybrid battery is not disposed of properly, it may lead to electric shock.
● 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 any authorized
Lexus retailer or Lexus authorized repairer, or any reliable repairer.
● 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 lowered. If the hybrid battery (traction battery) is damaged, a vehicle fire
may occur which could lead to death or serious injury.
NOTICE
Do not carry large amounts of water such as water cooler bottles in the vehicle.
If water spills onto the DC/DC converter, the converter may be damaged.
Have the vehicle inspected by any authorized Lexus retailer or Lexus authorized repairer,
or any reliable repairer.
