2-4 High-voltage Safety Measures
Circuit insulation The high-voltage positive (+) and negative (-) circuits are insulatedfrom the metal chassis.
Reducing the risk of electrocution The high-voltage components and harnesses have insulated cases or orange-colored coverings which provide insulation and easy identification.
The high-voltage battery case is electrically connected to the vehicle
ground. This connection helps protect the vehicle occupants and
emergency responders from high-voltage electrical shock.
Identification The high-voltage components are labeled “WARNING” similar to the label shown below. All high-voltage harnesses are coated in orange.
2-4.1 Warning Labels
WARNING/AVERTISSEMENT
To avoid serious injury, keep clear engine parts at all times. Engine may start at any time if the start switch and the the READY lamps
