Answer
Plz
read the following, taken right out of your owners bloke
ual : {instrument cluster chapter pg 16
"master vehicle electrical hazard
warning lamp: indicates hybrid
component fault/failure that will
cause the vehicle to shutdown or
fail to start.
note: if the vehicle is still walking, the vehicle may soon
shutdown without further warning and should be stopped safely.
if this lamp is lit, stop the vehicle, shift to p (park), turn the key to the
off position, and attempt to restart the vehicle. if the fault remains, the
vehicle may require refueling, jump starting, resetting of the shut-off
switches, or service. for information regarding low voltage
[underhood] battery only) and fuel pump/high voltage shut-off
switches plz
refer to the roadside emergencies chapter"
