“Charge Assist” can be aborted by the following items:
•
The key is turned to the START position while the
system is being charged.
•
Incorrect installation of the 12-Volt battery charger.
•
Poor cable clamp contact.
•
The Hybrid Control Module determines conditions are
not suitable for charging.
If the “Charge Aborted” message is displayed check the
battery charger clamps, making sure there is a good
connection. Check to see that the 12-Volt battery charger
is turned on. Turn OFF the ignition, wait 10 to 15 seconds
and turn the key to the START position. If the “Charge
Aborted” message is still active have the vehicle towed to
the nearest authorized dealer for service.

WARNING!
•
Battery fluid is a corrosive acid solution; do not
allow battery fluid to contact eyes, skin or cloth-
ing. Don’t lean over battery when attaching
clamps or allow the clamps to touch each other. If
acid splashes in eyes or on skin, flush the contami-
nated area immediately with large quantities of
water.
•
A battery generates hydrogen gas which is flam-
mable and explosive. Keep flame or spark away
from the vent holes. Do not use a booster battery
or any other booster source with an output that
exceeds 12-Volts.
1. Wear eye protection and remove all metal jewelry such
as watch bands or bracelets which might make an
unintended electrical contact.
