• Failure to properly shut down the high voltage system before the Emergency Response Procedures are performed will result in serious injury or death from electrical shock. To prevent serious injury or death, NEVER touch high voltage harnesses or components without always wearing appropriate Personal Protective Equipment (PPE). PPE must always be worn when touching or working on high voltage components. When contact with high voltage components or high voltage harnesses is unavoidable, or when there is risk of such contact, you must always wear appropriate PPE. PPE must always be worn when touching or working on high voltage components. • • 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. indicator is off (if possible), and the high voltage • Be sure to verify that the READY system is stopped. • After the high voltage system is shut down, please wait approximately ten (10) minutes for complete discharge of the high voltage capacitor. While waiting, do not operate any vehicle functions. NOTE: The high voltage full discharge takes approximately ten (10) minutes. • After shutting down the high voltage system and removing the 12V battery negative (-) terminal, wait at least three (3) minutes to discharge the air bag capacitor. Even though the 12V battery negative (-) is disconnected, the Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) air bag maintains voltage at least three (3) minutes. During this time, there is a possibility of sudden SRS air bag inflation due to harness short circuit or damage and it may cause serious injuries. • The 12V system will remain active even after the 12V battery negative (-) terminal is removed while the high voltage system is active. This is because the charging system will not shut down and power will be supplied to the 12V system and high voltage system continuously. Before disconnecting the 12V battery terminal, if necessary, lower the windows, adjust the steering column, adjust the seats, unlock the doors, open the liftgate, etc. as required. Once the 12V battery is disconnected, power controls will not operate. FRG-21
