Precautions for rescue work
The Plug-in Hybrid EV System uses high voltage up to DC 336V. The system can be hot during and after
starting and when the vehicle is shut off. Be careful of both the high-voltage and the high temperature.
Follow the warning labels that are attached to the vehicle.
Always assume the high voltage battery and associated components are energized and fully charged.
Never perform servicing and rescue when READY indicator is illuminating or when the charging indicator
is illuminating or flashing because the high-voltage system is operating.
When there is deformation / damage
If you detect leaking fluids, sparks, smoke, flames, gurgling, popping or hissing noises originating from the
high-voltage battery component, contact emergency services immediately. This may result in a fire.
Physical damage to the vehicle or high voltage battery may result in immediate or delayed release of toxic
and/or flammable gases and fire.
