WARNING
●Carefully inspect the ground under the vehicle. If leaked liquid( other than water from the air conditioning) is found on the
ground, the traction battery may have been damaged. Leave the vehicle as soon as possible.
In addition, contact your SUB- ARU dealer with regard to the leakage found on the ground.
Even in the event of a minor accident, the traction battery
and surrounding parts may be damaged. In case of an accident, have the traction battery
inspected at a SUBARU dealer.
■ Traction battery
●Your vehicle contains a sealed lithium-ion battery.
●Never resell, hand over or modify the traction battery. To prevent accidents, traction batteries that have been removed from a disposed vehicle are collected through your SUBARU dealer. Do not dispose of the battery yourself. Unless the battery is properly collected, the following may occur, resulting in death or serious injury:
• Do not illegally dispose of or dump the traction battery, and it is hazardous to the environment or someone may touch a high
voltage part, resulting in an electric shock.
• The traction battery is intended to be used exclusively with your battery electric vehicle. If the traction battery is used outside of your vehicle or modified in any way, accidents such as electric shock, heat generation, smoke generation, an explosion and electrolyte leakage may occur. When reselling or handing over your vehicle, the
possibility of an accident is extremely high because the person receiving the vehicle may
not be aware of the dangers from these modifications.
●If your vehicle is disposed of without the traction battery having been removed, there is a danger of serious electric shock if high voltage parts, cables and
their connectors are touched. In the event that your vehicle must be disposed of, the traction battery must be disposed of by your SUBARU dealer or a qualified service shop. If the traction
battery is not disposed of properly, it may cause electric shock that can result in death or serious injury.
●For information about traction battery collection locations, contact information, or the recycling
process, contact your SUBARU dealer.
■ Caution while driving
●Pay special attention to the area around the vehicle. Because there is no engine noise, pedestrians, people riding bicycles or other people and vehicles in the area may not be aware of the vehicle starting off or approaching them, so take extra care while driving. Therefore, take extra care while driving even if the Acoustic Vehicle Alerting System is active.
