WARNING!
Never try to remove the high voltage service discon-
nect. The high voltage service disconnect is used
when your vehicle requires service by a trained
technician at an authorized dealer. Failure to follow
this warning can cause severe burns or electrical
shock that may result in serious injury or death.
Charge Assist — High Voltage Battery
The “Charge Assist” procedure allows you to charge the
high voltage battery using the 12-Volt battery system. If
the high voltage battery’s state of charge is too low and
the engine will not crank, the MyGIG radio will display
a “Charge Insufficient” message. For additional informa-
tion, refer to the “Charge Assist Procedure — High
Voltage Battery” in Section 6 of this supplement.
In The Event Of An Accident
If your Hybrid vehicle is involved in an accident, if
possible, pull the vehicle off the road to a safe location,
put the shift lever in PARK and remove the ignition key.
NOTE:
•
If your vehicle is involved in an accident causing the
airbags to deploy, your vehicle will not start. See your
authorized dealer.
•
If your vehicle needs to be towed, always use a flatbed
truck. For additional information, refer to “Towing A
Disabled Vehicle” in Section 6 of this supplement.
