id0810b9702200

Warning

<<High voltage>>

•  Vehicles damaged in an accident could have electrical leakage due to internal damage of the high voltage battery. If servicing is carried out under electrical leakage conditions, it could cause electrical shock and result in serious injury or, in the worst case, death.

•  Refer to [Handling high voltage battery on damaged vehicle] in [DAMAGED VEHICLE HANDLING] in the general information and determine if an internal inspection of the high voltage battery is necessary.(See DAMAGED VEHICLE HANDLING [(E)].) Perform servicing only if an internal inspection of the high voltage battery is unnecessary. If it is determined that an internal inspection of the high voltage battery is necessary, contact the technical assistance for your market without performing servicing.
