Warning: Battery posts, terminals, and related accessories contain lead and lead compounds, chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer and reproductive harm. Wash hands after handling.

Caution: Batteries have acid that can burn you and gas that can explode. You can be badly hurt if you are not careful. See Jump Starting for tips on working around a battery without getting hurt.

Infrequent Usage: If the vehicle is driven infrequently, remove the black, negative (-) cable from the battery. This helps keep the battery from running down.

Extended Storage: For extended storage of the vehicle, remove the black, negative (-) cable from the battery or use a battery trickle charger. This helps maintain the charge of the battery over an extended period of time.

This vehicle has a standard 12-volt battery and a high-voltage hybrid battery.

When a new standard 12-volt battery is needed, see your dealer/retailer for one that has the replacement number shown on the original battery's label.

Only a trained service technician with the proper knowledge and tools should inspect, test, or replace the hybrid battery. See your dealer/retailer if the hybrid battery needs service.

If an airbag inflates or the vehicle has been in a crash, the vehicle's sensing system might command the automatic hybrid battery disconnect to open. See Replacing Restraint System Parts After a Crash for more information.
