2-1. Plug-in hybrid system
● 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 possi-
ble.
■ Hybrid battery (traction battery)
● Your vehicle contains a sealed lith-
ium-ion battery.
● Never resell, hand over or modify
the hybrid battery. To prevent acci-
dents, hybrid batteries that have
been removed from a disposed
vehicle are collected through any
authorized Toyota retailer or Toyota
authorized repairer, or any reliable
repairer. Do not dispose of the bat-
tery yourself. Unless the battery is
properly collected, the following
may occur, resulting in death or
serious injury:
• The hybrid battery may be illegally
disposed of or dumped, and it is
hazardous to the environment or
someone may touch a high voltage
part, resulting in an electric shock.
• The hybrid battery is intended to be
used exclusively with your Plug-in
Hybrid Electric Vehicle. If the hybrid
battery is used outside of your vehi-
cle or modified in any way, acci-
dents 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 with-
out the hybrid battery having been
removed, there is a danger of seri-
ous electric shock if high voltage
parts, cables and their connectors
are touched. In the event that your
vehicle must be disposed of, the
hybrid battery must be disposed of
by any authorized Toyota retailer or
Toyota authorized repairer, or any
reliable repairer, or a qualified ser-
vice shop. If the hybrid battery 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 liq-
uid leakage, it may lead to a vehicle
fire, etc. Do not touch the vehicle and
immediately contact any authorized
Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized
repairer, or any reliable repairer.
■ Modifications
Do not modify the vehicle to make the
height lower.
It is easier for the hybrid battery (trac-
tion 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.
