Since hybrid vehicles contain a high voltage battery, if the
high voltage system or vehicles are handled incorrectly, this might
lead to a serious accidents like electric shock and electric leakage.

•
|
Be sure to shut off the high voltage by removing the
safety plug before performing inspection or repairing the
high voltage system.(Refer to “High Voltage Shut-off Procedures”)
|
•
|
Keep the safety plug completely removed to prevent the
plug from being connected by mistake.
|
•
|
Do not keep any metal objects (watch, ring etc.) while
working on the high voltage system, which it can cause serious

|
•
|
Put the removed high voltage components on the insulation
mat.
|
|
|
•
|
All the high voltage wiring and connectors are orange.
|
•
|
A caution label for high voltage is attached to the high
voltage components.
