A hybrid combines different energy sources. Engine silence alone does not describe its status: report displayed indicators, including READY if present. Recovery rules may vary between versions within one range. Provide the complete powertrain rather than only the brand or model name.
Information to prepare
- State full hybrid or plug-in hybrid and the year.
- Describe indicators and whether controls respond.
- Mention a connected cable on a plug-in hybrid.
- Report any leak, collision or exposure to water.
What to watch for
Do not handle high-voltage components or their orange cables. Assistance and recovery must follow instructions for the exact vehicle version.
