Strong impacts (i.e., dropping the 12 volt battery, collision damage) may cause electrolyte leaks, internal short circuit and heat increase resulting in fire. Avoid impacts to the 12 volt battery.

Organic electrolyte is poisonous. If ingested, get medical attention immediately.

12 volt battery damage may cause flammable gas or electrolyte leaks and may result in fire. Do not damage the 12 volt battery and keep sparks, flame and cigarettes away.

Canada models: When turning the vehicle to the ON mode for the first time after the 12 volt battery is reconnected, turn the vehicle to the ON mode while depressing the brake pedal for the immobilizer mutual authentication between the body control module and the VSA modulator-control unit.
