side impact, a rear impact or a vehicle

WARNING
■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 hybrid vehicle. If the hybrid battery is used
outside of your vehicle or modified
in any way, accidents such as elec - tric shock, heat generation, smoke
generation, an ex plosion and elec-
trolyte 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 bat tery having been
removed, there is a danger of seri -
ous electric shock if high voltage parts, cables and their connectors
are touched. In t he event that your
vehicle must be disposed of, the hybrid battery mus t 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 th e 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 contac t any authorized
Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized
repairer, or any reliable repairer.
■Modifications
Do not modify the v ehicle 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 bat tery) is damaged, a vehicle fire may occur which could
lead to death or serious injury.
