Vehicle Damage Warnings

Precaution for Power Generation Variable Voltage Control System

CAUTION: For this model, the battery current sensor that is installed to the negative battery cable measures the charging/discharging current of the battery and performs various engine controls. If an electrical component is connected directly to the negative battery terminal, the current flowing through that component will not be measured by the battery current sensor. This condition may cause a malfunction of the engine control system and battery discharge may occur. Do not connect an electrical component or ground wire directly to the battery terminal.
