High voltage warning. Several guides on this site involve working near the Gen 2 Prius hybrid battery system, which operates at approximately 200V DC. High voltage can kill. Always disconnect the orange HV service plug, wear 1000V-rated insulated gloves, and wait at least 10 minutes for capacitors to discharge before touching any hybrid system components. If you are not confident working near high voltage, have the repair done by a qualified technician.

DIY Repair Carries Real Risk

Know your limits. Some repairs on this site โ€” hybrid battery replacement, ABS actuator work, brake system bleeding โ€” involve safety-critical systems. A mistake on brake work can cause brake failure. A mistake on HV components can cause electrocution. If a repair is beyond your skill level or comfort, the right call is a qualified mechanic. No guide on this site is a substitute for hands-on training and experience.
