Hybrid Drive Systems: Service Precautions



High Voltage System Health and Safety Precautions

WARNING:
- To prevent the risk of high-voltage shock, always follow precisely all warnings and service instructions, including instructions to depower the system. The high-voltage system utilizes approximately 300 volts DC, provided through high-voltage cables to its components and modules. The high-voltage cables and wiring are identified by orange harness tape or orange wire covering. All high-voltage components are marked with highvoltage warning labels with a high-voltage symbol. Failure to follow these instructions may result in serious personal injury or death.
- Never install the service disconnect plug when a high-voltage service cover is removed. Always install the cover prior to connecting the service disconnect plug. The cover prevents inadvertent contact with the high voltage which is present at several points under the cover. Failure to follow these instructions may result in serious personal injury or death.
- Turn OFF the ignition switch for a minimum of 5 minutes before removing high-voltage cables. High-voltage cables and wiring are orange in color. The nominal high-voltage traction battery voltage (HVTB) is 330 V DC. Failure to follow these instructions may result in serious personal injury or death.
- Disconnect the battery before servicing the direct current to alternating current (DC-AC) inverter or alternating current (AC) powerpoint to prevent the risk of high voltage shock. Failure to follow this instruction may result in serious personal injury.
