WARNING - Battery elec-
trolyte
As with all batteries, avoid fluid
contact with the Hybrid battery.
If the battery is damaged and if
electrolyte comes in contact
with your body, clothes or eyes,
immediately flush with a large
quantity of fresh water and seek
medical attention.
WARNING - After market
battery charger
Do not use an after-market bat-
tery charger to charge the
Hybrid battery. Doing so may
result in death or serious injury.
WARNING - High Waters
Avoid high waters as this may
result in your vehicle becom-
ing saturated with water and
could compromise the high
voltage components.
Do not touch any of the high
voltage components within
your vehicle if your vehicle
has been submerged in water
equal to half of the vehicle
height. Touching high voltage
components once submerged
in water could result in severe
burns or electric shock that
could result in death or seri-
ous injury.

MotorCAUTION - High Voltage
Battery Damage
When loading your vehicle, be
careful of transporting items in
a manner that could damage the
high voltage battery. Do not
store items on top of the high
voltage battery or overload the
trunk area. Such actions may
ultimately damage the high volt-
age battery unit.
CAUTION - Carrying
Liquids in Trunk
Do not load large amounts of
liquid in open containers in the
vehicle. If spilled onto the HEV
battery, the liquid may cause a
short or further damage to the
battery.
