3-4 How to Handle a Damaged Vehicle
3-4.1
High-voltage System Shut-Down Procedure
Any of the following procedures can shut down the high-voltage system. The dismantling operation canonly
begin after shutting down the high-voltage system. If the vehicle is heavily damaged, for example the high-
voltage battery is deformed, broken or cracked, appropriate PPE must always be used and the high-voltage
battery and high-voltage components must not be touched. DANGER
• Failure to properly shut down the high-voltage system before the dismantling
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) . Appropriate
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.
• Be sure to verify that the READY indicator is off (if possible) , and the high-voltage
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.
• After shutting down the high-voltage system and removing the 12-volt battery negative (-) terminal, wait at least three (3) minutes to discharge the air bag capacitor. Even though
the 12-volt 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 12-volt 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 12-volt battery terminal, if necessary, lower the windows, adjust the steering
column, adjust the seats, unlock the doors, open the trunk, etc. as required. Once the 12-volt battery is
disconnected, power controls will not operate.
