mergency Response (Continued)
Overhaul
During overhaul, immobilize and disable the vehicle if not already done.
Refer to illustrations on page 18, 19 and 20. The HV battery cover should
never
be breached or removed under any circumstances including fire. Doing
so may result in severe electrical burns, shock, or electrocution
.
•
Immobilize Vehicle
Chock wheels and set the parking brake.
Move the shift lever to the
P
ark position.
NOTE:
The LS 600h L utilizes a push/pull parking brake switch that electro-
mechanically sets/releases the rear parking brakes.
−
To set/release, push/pull the parking brake switch located on
the dash to the right side of the steering column (refer to
illustration on page 18).
−
If the AUTO button is set and illuminated, the parking brake
will automatically set when the vehicle is shifted to the
P
ark
position.
−
To verify that the parking brake is set, confirm that the
PARK
light illuminates on the instrument cluster (refer to illustration
on page 18). The
PARK
light will turn off after approximately
15 seconds.
•
Disable Vehicle
Performing either of the following two procedures will shut the
vehicle off and disable the HV battery pack, SRS, and gasoline fuel
pump.
Procedure #1
1. Confirm the status of the
READY
indicator in the instrument
cluster.
2. If
the
READY
indicator is illuminated, the vehicle is on and
operational. Shut off the vehicle by pushing the power button
once.
3. The vehicle is already shut off if the instrument cluster lights and
the
READY
indicator are not illuminated. Do
not
push the
power button because the vehicle may start.
4. If the smart key is easily accessible, keep it at least 16 feet (5
meters) away from the vehicle.
5. If the smart key cannot be found, disconnect the 12 Volt
auxiliary battery in the trunk to prevent accidental restarting of
the vehicle.
Procedure #2
(Alternate if power button is inaccessible)
1. Remove the engine compartment cover and fuse box cover.
2.
Remove the IG2 relay in the engine compartment fuse box as
illustrated on page 20.
If the correct relay cannot be recognized,
pull both relays in the fuse box.
3. Disconnect the 12 Volt auxiliary battery in the trunk.
•
Stabilize Vehicle
If not already done, properly crib the vehicle to prevent the vehicle
body from dropping.
