M Hybrid

Do not touch the high temperature or high current areas.

The following areas are high temperature and high current and may cause serious burns and electrical shock if touched.

1. Integrated Starter-Generator (ISG)

2. DC-DC Converter

3. M Hybrid Battery

To reduce the risk of burns or electrical shock, always heed the following precautions.

• Never remove and disassemble the brackets and connectors securing the terminal part, wiring harness, and the M Hybrid Battery.

• Never touch the M Hybrid Battery because it becomes extremely hot under direct sunlight or after driving.

• Never touch the M Hybrid Battery when it is wet because it is especially dangerous.

To ensure safe and correct handling of the M Hybrid Battery, always heed the following.

• Do not remove the M Hybrid Battery.

• Do not resell, transfer, or modify the M Hybrid Battery.

• Do not make secondary use of the M Hybrid Battery.

If the M Hybrid Battery is not handled properly, the following may occur which could lead to serious injury or death.

• Touching an unattended or illegally abandoned M Hybrid Battery may cause electrocution.

• If the M Hybrid Battery is used on a vehicle other than the one it came equipped on (including modified vehicles), accidents such as electric shock, heat generation, smoking, combustion, and explosions, or an electrolyte leakage may occur.

Appropriate disposal of the M Hybrid Battery.

If the M Hybrid Battery is not collected and disposed of appropriately, such as by leaving it unattended or illegally abandoning, some other person may touch it which could cause electrocution leading to serious injury.

Never touch the areas where high current is flowing.

Never touch an M Hybrid system related part. Otherwise, it could result in serious injury such as burns and electrical shock.

Never touch electrical wiring that may be protruding into or outside of the cabin.

Otherwise, it could result in serious injury such as burns and electrical shock.

Never touch any area where electrolyte is visible or electrolyte is leaking from the area.

If electrolyte from the M Hybrid Battery gets in the eyes or on the skin, it could cause loss of vision or skin reactions. If electrolyte comes into contact with the eyes, do not rub them, and after flushing with water for 15 minutes or longer, seek medical attention immediately. In addition, if electrolyte comes into contact with the skin, wash the areas with soap and water thoroughly. If you feel any abnormality in your body, seek medical attention immediately.

Do not come near the vehicle if electrolyte is leaking from the M Hybrid Battery.

Even if the M Hybrid Battery is damaged, large quantities of electrolyte will not flow out due to the internal structure of the M Hybrid Battery, however, in the unlikely event that it does, it will produce steam. The steam contains properties that can irritate the eyes and skin, and could cause acute poisoning if absorbed.

Never approach objects that are on fire or extremely hot.

Electrolyte in the M Hybrid Battery may cause a fire. If the vehicle catches fire, extinguish the fire using a fire extinguisher (type ABC, BC, or C). Only extinguish a fire with water when a large amount of water is available such as from a fire hydrant. Using a small amount of water may cause the fire to spread.
