CAUTION / NOTICE / HINT

CAUTION:

• Before the following operations are conducted, take precautions to prevent electric shock by turning the power switch off, wearing insulated gloves, and removing the service plug grip from HV battery.
  • Inspecting the high-voltage system
  • Disconnecting the low voltage connector of the inverter with converter assembly
  • Disconnecting the low voltage connector of the HV battery
• To prevent electric shock, make sure to remove the service plug grip to cut off the high voltage circuit before servicing the vehicle.
• After removing the service plug grip from the HV battery, put it in your pocket to prevent other technicians from accidentally reconnecting it while you are working on the high-voltage system.
• After removing the service plug grip, wait for at least 10 minutes before touching any of the high-voltage connectors or terminals. After waiting for 10 minutes, check the voltage at the terminals in the inspection point in the inverter with converter assembly. The voltage should be 0 V before beginning work.
