High Voltage Shut-off Procedures

•	Be sure to read and follow the “General Safety Information and Caution” before doing any work related with the high voltage system. Failure to follow the safety instructions may result in serious electrical injuries.

•	Be sure to read and follow the “High Voltage Shut-off Procedures” before doing any work related with the high voltage system. Failure to follow the safety instructions may result in serious electrical injuries.

High voltage components:

High Voltage Battery Pack Assembly, Power Relay Assembly (PRA), BMS ECU, Hybrid Power Control Unit (HPCU), Hybrid Drive Motor, HSG, Electric A/C Compressor, Low DC/DC Converter (LDC), Power Cable, Electric Compressor etc.

1.	Turn the ignition switch OFF and disconnect the auxiliary 12V battery negative (-) terminal.

2.	Remove the safety plug cover (A) under the rear seat..

3.	Unfasten the hook (A) to the direction of arrow.

4.	Unfasten the lever (A) to the direction of arrow.

5.	Remove the safety plug (A).
