3-2 Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) and Insulated Tools
3-2.1
Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) Protective Wear Control
Perform an inspection of the Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) items before beginning work. Do not use
any damaged PPE items.
3-2.2 Daily Inspection
This inspection is performed before and after use. The worker who will be using the items should perform
the inspection and check for deterioration and damage. • Insulated rubber gloves should be inspected for scratches, holes and tears. (Visual check and airleakage test)
• Insulated safety boots should be inspected for holes, damage, nails, metal pieces, wear or other problems on the soles. (Visual check)
• Insulated rubber sheet should be inspected for tears. (Visual check)
3-2.3 Insulated Tools
When performing work at locations where high-voltage is applied (such as terminals) , use insulated tools
meeting 1,000V/300A specifications.
3-3 Discharge Procedures DANGER
Do not perform this procedure if the battery is damaged. If you are unsure of battery
damage,

use extreme caution and wear appropriate Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) .
High-voltage battery discharging must take place before dismantling. Sufficient discharging can be achieved
by following these steps.
1. Place the shift selector into the Park (P) position
2. Apply the parking brake.
3. Set wheel chocks to ensure the vehicle is completely immobilized.
4. Fasten the driver seat belt and close the driver door.
5. Apply foot brake and press the ignition switch to turn the system ON. Confirm READY indicator in instrument cluster turns ON.

as shown in the illustration.
8. Push the shift selector button (C) and move the shift selector to the Neutral (N) position (D) while holding
down the shift lock.
NOTE:
DO NOT press accelerator or foot brake after
moving the shift selector to the Neutral (N)
position. Otherwise high-voltage battery will start
to be charged.
NOTE:
The engine must not be running at this time. If the engine has restarted, repeat the previous
steps.
9. Release the parking brake.
10. Unbuckle the seat belt and open the driver door. The READY indicator should remain ON
and

the engine should not be running.
11. Turn ON electric devices such as headlamps, A/C (set to the coldest temperature) and rear window defogger to discharge the high-voltage battery. Discharge is complete when the READY indicator (B) (green) turns OFF, and the hybrid system warning indicator (C) (orange)
turns

ON.
12. Move shift selector into the Park (P) position and press the ignition switch (A) to turn the system OFF.
Please contact following number if the vehicle could not be discharged. • 1-800-662-6200 (US) or 1-800-361-4792 (Canada)
