Hybrid system overview Components of the hybrid/plug-in hybrid vehicle
Hot components
When the hybrid battery system oper
-
ates, the HEV battery system can be hot.
Heat burns may result from touching
even insulated components of the HEV
system.
Prolonged parking
Prolonged parking might cause battery
discharge and operation failure due to
natural discharge. Driving the vehicle
approximately once every 2 months,
more than 15 km (9 mi.) is recom
-
mended.The battery will be charged
automatically when driving the vehicle.
Hybrid vehicle components
High voltage battery system
HPCU (Hybrid Power Control Unit) *1
High voltage battery system *2
* 1: Located in the engine compartment
* 2: Located under the 1st row seats
Never touch orange coloured or high
voltage labeled components, including
wires, cables, and connections. When
the insulators or covers are damaged or
removed, severe injury or death from
electrocution may occur.
Whilst replacing the fuses in the engine
compartment, never touch the HPCU.
The HPCU carries high voltage. Touch
-
ing the HPCU may result in electrocu
-
tion, serious injury, or death.
In the hybrid system, the hybrid battery
uses high voltage to operate the motor
and other components. This high volt
-
age hybrid battery system can be very
dangerous.
Never touch the hybrid system. When
you touch the hybrid battery system,
serious injury or death may occur.
