PRECAUTIONS

High Voltage Precautions


WARNING:
- Because hybrid vehicles and electric vehicles contain a high voltage battery, there is the risk of electric shock, electric leakage, or similar accidents if the high voltage component and vehicle are handled incorrectly. Be sure to follow the correct work procedures when performing inspection and maintenance.
- Be sure to remove the service plug in order to shut off the high voltage circuits before performing inspection or maintenance of high voltage system harnesses and parts.
- Be sure to put the removed service plug in your pocket and carry it with you so that another person does not accidentally connect it while work is in progress.
- Be sure to wear insulating protective equipment consisting of glove, shoes and glasses before beginning work on the high voltage system.
- Clearly identify the persons responsible for high voltage work and ensure that other persons do not touch the vehicle. When not working, cover high voltage parts with an insulating cover sheet or similar item to prevent other persons from contacting them.

CAUTION:
There is the possibility of a malfunction occurring if the vehicle is changed to READY status while the service plug is removed. Therefore do not change the vehicle to READY status unless instructed to do so in the Service Manual.

HIGH VOLTAGE HARNESS AND EQUIPMENT IDENTIFICATION

The colors of the high voltage harnesses and connectors are all orange. Orange "High Voltage" labels are applied to the Li-ion battery and other high voltage devices. Do not carelessly touch these harnesses and parts.

HANDLING OF HIGH VOLTAGE HARNESS AND TERMINALS

Immediately insulate disconnected high voltage connectors and terminals with insulating tape.

REGULATIONS ON WORKERS WITH MEDICAL ELECTRONICS


WARNING:
The vehicle contains parts that contain powerful magnets. If a person who is wearing a pacemaker or other medical device is close to these parts, the medical device may be affected by the magnets. Such persons must not perform work on the vehicle.

PROHIBITED ITEMS TO CARRY DURING THE WORK

Because this vehicle uses components that contain high voltage and powerful magnetism, due not carry any metal products which may cause short circuits, or any magnetic media (cash cards, prepaid cards, etc.) which may be damaged on your person when working.

POSTING A SIGN OF "DANGER! HIGH VOLTAGE AREA. KEEP OUT"

To call the attention of other workers, indicate "High voltage work in progress. Do not touch!" on vehicles where work is being performed on the high voltage systems.
