Optima HEV Main Electric Systems
High Voltage Orange Cabling
The High Voltage cabling is orange as per SAE standard. Cables run under the floor of the
vehicle and connect the High Voltage Battery to the HPCU, Motor, LDC, Inverter and other
High Voltage components in front of the vehicle.
The presence of orange cables under the hood, on the under-floor battery compartment,
or orange shielding under the car, identifies the vehicle as an electric vehicle.
Never cut or disconnect the high voltage orange cabling and connectors without first
disabling the system by removing the safety plug.
Exposed cables or wires may be visible inside or outside the vehicle. Never touch
the wires, cables, connecters, or any electric components before disabling the
system, to prevent injury or death due to electrical shock.
Failure to follow these instructions can lead to death by electrical shock.
