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 emergency responders
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 Labels To avoid serious injury, keep clear of engine parts at all times. Engine\
may start at any time if
t
he start switch and the READY lamps on the instrument panel are "ON". Make sure both
lamps are "OFF" before working in the engine compartment. See Owners Man\
ual. ¾¯¸æ/WARNING/AVERTISSEMENT ÖØ ´ó

Pour éviter des blessures graves, assurez-vous que les témoins STA\
RT SWITCH et READY
d
ans le tableau de bord sont éteints (OFF) avant d' entreprendre tout travail a l' intérieur du
compartiment moteur. Le moteur peut démarrer a tout moment si le contacteur d' allumage
est a la position ON et que les témoins READY du tableau de bord sont allumés. Assurez-vous
que les deux témonins sont éteints avant de travailler dans le com\
partiment moteur.

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.
•
The high voltage battery relays (SMR1 and SMR2) will automatically open to stop the electrical flow
in a front, side or certain rear collisions that are sufficient enough to activate the supplemental
restraint system (SRS) . Trunk
