Drill Zones
WARNING
You must disconnect the 12 Volt and the High Voltage battery before you do
work on the vehicle. Refer to the correct procedure in the workshop manual.
It can be necessary to drill holes in the vehicle to attach components installed in the conversion.
You must examine the images shown in this section before you start work. The images show
the locations of the wiring and other components that are not visible on the surface. It is the
converters responsibility to check that holes drilled and fasteners installed do not cause damage
to the vehicle. Holes drilled into wet areas or external panels must be sealed to stop water
leakage into the vehicle.
Passenger Compartment
WARNING
Do not drill into the floor in the passenger compartment or into the centre
console. The High Voltage (HV) battery is below the passenger compartment.
Make sure that you understand where the airbags deploy. See Supplementary Restraint System
(SRS),
To avoid placing any components near the airbag deployment zones or damaging the vehicle
electronics, it is recommended that you do not drill into any plastic trim panels in the driver's
cabin. This includes:
– instrument panel
– interior door panels
– driver's or passenger's seat
– centre console
– steering wheel
– A and B pillars
– roof console
– camera/radar unit
