HYBRID SYSTEM ELECTRICAL SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
(Also see TSIB)

•
•

•
•
•
•
•

Do not touch the orange high voltage wiring and connectors (up to 650 volts).
The gasoline engine may start suddenly whenever the “READY” light is on.
Before working under the hood, put the transmission selector lever in “P”, apply
the parking brake, and set the power switch to “OFF” (“READY” light off) to stop
the hybrid system.
The hybrid transmission, engine radiator, and inverter radiator may reach high
temperatures during inspection. Carefully observe all caution labels and
instructions on these components.
Be sure to keep the transmission selector lever in “P” at all times unless
otherwise instructed. When the selector lever is in “N”, the hybrid vehicle battery
will not charge even if the gasoline engine is running.
When leaving the vehicle, put the selector lever in “P”, apply the parking brake,
and press the power switch in the “OFF” mode in order to stop the hybrid system
(the “READY” light goes OFF).
Air vents are located on the sides of the rear seats to cool the hybrid vehicle
battery. Do not block these air vents.
Do not splash water on the electric components in the engine compartment.

FLOOR MAT - PROPER INSTALLATION & CARE
• Verify that the correct driver floor mat is installed.
• Verify proper driver floor mat installation using the factory retention device (clip or grommet style).
• Never install the driver floor mat with the bottom-side up. Do not place another floor mat on top of an existing mat.
(Note: You should always regularly verify a customer’s driver floor mat is properly secured after a car wash, interior cleaning, etc).
