DISABLING the HV SYSTEM
NOTE: In the event of a collision or severe jarring of the
FUV, an inertia switch opens and automatically disables
the HV system. Additionally, the Battery Management
System (BMS) and Vehicle Control Unit (VCU) will disable
the high voltage system if it detects a potentially
dangerous condition. However, when approaching a
damaged FUV, always assume that the HV System is
active.
Turn the FUV Off
If the Key is present in the Key Switch:
Switch the FUV Key Switch to the OFF position and
remove the Key. This method will disconnect the HV
system, as long as the shutdown circuits are not
damaged.
Manually Disabling the HV System
Before attempting to rescue occupants or move a
damaged FUV, you should manually disable the HV
system, to reduce the potential for current to flow from
the electric motor or the HV batteries through the high-
voltage cables.
There are two primary methods of manually disabling the
high-voltage system, as described on the following pages.
