8-2. Steps to take in an emergency
RX450h/RX450hL_EE_OM48F86E
WARNING
Avoiding 12-volt battery fires or explosions
Observe the following precautions to prevent accidentally igniting the flammable gas
that may be emitted from the 12-volt battery:
Make sure each jumper cable is connected to the correct terminal and that it is not
unintentionally in contact with any other than the intended terminal.
Do not allow the other end of the jumper cable connected to the “+” terminal to come
into contact with any other parts or metal surfaces in the area, such as brackets or
unpainted metal.
Do not allow the + and - clamps of the jumper cables to come into contact with each
other.
Do not smoke, use matches, cigarette lighters or allow open flame near the 12-volt
battery.
12-volt battery precautions
The 12-volt battery contains poisonous and corrosive acidic electrolyte, while related
parts contain lead and lead compounds. Observe the following precautions when han-
dling the 12-volt battery:
When working with the 12-volt battery, always wear safety glasses and take care not
to allow any battery fluids (acid) to come into contact with skin, clothing or the vehicle
body.
Do not lean over the 12-volt battery.
In the event that battery fluid comes into contact with the skin or eyes, immediately
wash the affected area with water and seek medical attention.
Place a wet sponge or cloth over the affected area until medical attention can be
received.
Always wash your hands after handling the 12-volt battery support, terminals, and
other battery-related parts.
Do not allow children near the 12-volt battery.
After recharging the 12-volt battery
Have the 12-volt battery inspected at any authorized Lexus retailer or Lexus autho-
rized repairer, or any reliable repairer as soon as possible.
If the 12-volt battery is deteriorating, continued use may cause the 12-volt battery to
emit a malodorous gas, which may be detrimental to the health of passengers.
When exchanging the 12-volt battery
When the vent plug and indicator are close to the hold down clamp, the battery fluid
(sulfuric acid) may leak.
For information regarding 12-volt battery replacement, contact any authorized Lexus
retailer or Lexus authorized repairer, or any reliable repairer.
Make sure to replace the 12-volt battery with one designed for this vehicle. Other-
wise, hydrogen gas may enter the vehicle, possibly causing a fire or explosion.
After exchanging, securely attach the exhaust hose and exhaust hole plug to the
exhaust hole of the exchanged 12-volt battery. If not properly installed, gases (hydro-
gen) may leak into the vehicle interior, and there is the possible danger of the gas
igniting and exploding.
