Maintenance and care
CAUTION
■
Replacing light bulbs
●Turn off the lights. Do not attempt to replace the bulb immediately after
turning off the lights.
The bulbs become very hot and may cause burns.
● Do not touch the glass portion of the light bulb with bare hands. Hold the
bulb by the plastic or metal portion.
If the bulb is scratched or dropped, it may blow out or crack.
● Fully install light bulbs and any parts used to secure them. Failure to do so
may result in heat damage, fire, or water entering the headlight unit. This
may damage the headlights or cause condensation to build up on the lens.
■ To prevent damage or fire
Make sure bulbs are fully seated and locked.

472 5-2. Steps to take in an emergency
■Starting the EV system when the 12-volt battery is discharged
The EV system cannot be started by push-starting.
■ To prevent 12-volt battery discharge
●Turn off the headlights and the navigation system while the EV system is
off.
● Turn off any unnecessary electrical components when the vehicle is run-
ning at a low speed for an extended period, such as in heavy traffic.
■ When the 12-volt battery is removed or discharged
●The EV system may not start. (P. 363)
● If the 12-volt battery discharges while the shift position is in P, it may not
be possible to shift the shift position to other positions.
In this case, the vehicle cannot be moved without lifting both front wheels
because the front wheels will be locked. ( P. 413)
● The power windows must be initialized. ( P. 147)
■ Charging the 12-volt battery
The electricity stored in the 12-volt battery will discharge gradually even
when the vehicle is not in use, due to natural discharge and the draining
effects of certain electrical appliances. If the vehicle is left for a long time, the
12-volt battery may discharge, and the EV system may be unable to start.
(The 12-volt battery recharges automatically while the EV system is operat-
ing.)
