3. Master Warning Lamp (Orange or Red) 4. Hybrid System Warning Lamp (Orange)Lamp Name Icon
Description
READ
Y Indicator
(Green) This lamp is on when the high voltage system is powered up and the
vehicle

is ready to drive.
Master Warning Lamp
(Orange or Red) This lamp is on when another warning lamp or message is displayed
in

the instrument cluster.
Hybrid System
Warning Lamp *1
(Orange) This lamp is on or blinking when:
•

Malfunction has occurred in the high voltage system and/or
• High voltage leak to vehicle chassis and/or
• Emergency shut-off system has been activated. The shut-off system activates in the following conditions:
– Front and side collisions in which the air bags are deployed.
– Certain rear collisions.
– Certain high voltage system malfunctions.
*1: When this lamp is ON, the READY Indicator will turn OFF. AAYIA0010GB

2-4 High Voltage Safety Measures
Circuit insulation
The high voltage positive (+) and negative (-) circuits are insulated
from 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 vehicle dismantlers
from high voltage electrical shock.
Identification The high voltage components are labeled “WARNING” similar to label
shown below. All high voltage harnesses are coated in orange.
2-4.1 Warning Label AAYIA0010ZZ
DG–13

2-5 High Voltage Safety System
The
high voltage safety system is intended to help keep vehicle occupants and emergency responders safe
from high voltage electricity. • A high voltage fuse provides short circuit protection inside the high voltage battery.
• The high voltage safety system is insulated from the metal chassis.
• Positive and negative high voltage power cables are connected to the high voltage battery and arecontrolled by normally open system main relays (SMR1 and SMR2) . When the vehicle is shut off,
the relays stop electrical flow from leaving the high voltage battery. However, it can take
approximately ten (10) minutes for the high voltage capacitor to fully discharge. • The high voltage system and high voltage capacitor may remain powered for up to
approximately
10 minutes after the vehicle is shut off. Personal Protective Equipment
(PPE) must always be worn when touching or working on high voltage components
to avoid risk of electrical shock and severe personal injury or death.
• The high voltage battery retains high voltage at all times. PPE must always be worn when touching or working on high voltage components to avoid risk of electrical shock and
severe personal injury or death.
• A ground fault monitor continuously monitors for high voltage leakage to the metal chassis while the vehicle is running. If a malfunction is detected, the HPCM (hybrid powertrain control module) will
illuminate the hybrid system warning lamp in the instrument cluster. AAYIA0001GB

9. Release the parking brake.
10. Turn ON electric devices such as headlamps, A/C (set to the coldest temperature) and rear
window defogger to discharge the high voltage battery. Allow approximately 15 minutes to
discharge. Discharge is complete when the READY indicator (B) (green) turns OFF and the
hybrid

system warning indicator (C) (orange) turns ON.
11. 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)
• Hours of operation are 8am-5pm (Monday-Friday) Eastern, Central and Pacific time zones.
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 can only
begin after shutting down the high voltage system. If the vehicle is heavily damaged, for example the Li-ion
battery is deformed, broken or cracked, appropriate PPE must always be used and the Li-ion battery and
high voltage components must not be touched. • 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) . 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. AAYIA0033ZZ
