74 1-2. Hybrid system WARNING ■Road accident cautions Observe the following precautions to reduce the risk of death or serious injury: ●Pull your vehicle off the road, apply the parking brake, shift the shift lever to P, and turn the hybrid system off. ●Do not touch the high voltage parts, cables and connectors. ●If electric wires are exposed inside or outside your vehicle, an electric shock may occur. Never touch exposed electric wires. ●If a fluid leak occurs, do not touch the fluid as it may be strong alkaline electrolyte from the hybrid battery (traction battery). If it comes into contact with your skin or eyes, wash it off immediately with a large amount of water or, if possible, boric acid solution. Seek immediate medical attention. ●If a fire occurs in the hybrid vehicles, leave the vehicle as soon as possible. Never use a fire extinguisher that is not meant for electric fires. Using even a small amount of water may be dangerous. ●If your vehicle needs to be towed, do so with front wheels raised. If the wheels con- nected to the electric motor (traction motor) are on the ground when towing, the motor may continue to generate electricity. This may cause a fire. (P. 494) ●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 possible. ■Hybrid battery (traction battery) ●Never resell, hand over or modify the hybrid battery. To prevent accidents, hybrid batteries that have been removed from a disposed vehicle are collected through Lexus dealer. Do not dispose of the battery yourself. Unless the battery is properly collected,e follo thwing may occur, resulting in death or serious injury: The hybrid battery may be illegally dispoed of or sdumped, 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 us eedxclusively with your hybrid 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 elec- trolyte leakage may occur. When reselling or handing over yhicle, the posour vesibility 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 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. In the event that your vehicle must be disposed of, the hybrid battery must be disposed of by your Lexus dealer or a qualified service shop. If the hybrid bat- tery is not disposed of properly, it may cause electric shock that can result in death or serious injury. ES300h_OM_OM33B71U_(U)
