If an accident occurs
Pull your vehicle off the road,
push the “P” position switch,
stop the hybrid system and if
the key is inserted into key
slot, remove it.
In order to avoid personal in-
juries, do not touch any high
voltage wirings and their con-
nectors, and high voltage
parts (inverter unit, hybrid
battery, etc.).
If some exposed electric
wires are protruding inside or
outside of your vehicle, an
electric shock may occur.
Never touch the electric
wires.
If fluid leaks or gets in some
parts of the vehicle, never
touch it because it may be
electrolyte (strong alkali) from
the hybrid battery. If it gets
into your skin or eyes, wash
off immediately with a large
amount of water, if possible,
boric acid solution, and get
immediate medical attention
in order to help avoid serious
injury.
If a vehicle fire occurs, extin-
guish it using a fire extin-
guisher for the exclusive use
on electric fires. Or, use a
large amount of water to pre-
vent flammable gas from be-
ing generated from the batter-
ies.
If your vehicle needs to be
towed, do it with the front
wheels raised. For details on
towing, see “If your vehicle
needs to be towed” on page
372 in Section 5.

CAUTION
High Voltage
Your vehicle is equipped with
cables connected to parts of
the vehicle subject to high volt-
age (about 500 V at maximum).
There are some other parts that
reach high temperatures while
you drive. Never touch battery
cables (wrapped in orangecol-
ored harnesses) or their con-
nectors since they are under
high voltage and dangerous.
Caution labels are applied to
these parts to identify them.
Carefully observe the instruc-
tions on these caution labels.
