SAFETY PRECAUTIONS FOR HYBRID SYSTEM
Hybrid Vehicle Components
High voltage battery system
HPCU (Hybrid Power Control Unit)

ODN8HQ019029
High voltage battery system
*2
OAEQ046019
*1 :
Located in the engine compartment
*2 :
Located under the rear seats
WARNING
Never touch orange colored or high
voltage labeled components, including
wires, cables, and connections. When
the insulators or covers are damaged or
removed, severe injury or death from
electrocution may occur.
WARNING
While replacing the fuses in the
engine compartment, never touch the
HPCU. The HPCU carries high voltage.
Touching the HPCU may result in
electrocution, serious injury, or death.
WARNING
In the hybrid system, the hybrid battery
uses high voltage to operate the motor
and other components. This high
voltage hybrid battery system can be
very dangerous.
Never touch the hybrid system. When
you touch the hybrid battery system,
serious injury or death may occur.
CAUTION
•
Do not pile up any items in an area
behind the high voltage battery. In
a crash, the battery may become
unstable, or its performance may
degrade.
•
Do not apply strong force nor pile
up any items above the luggage
compartment. Such an attempt
may distort the high voltage battery
case, causing a safety problem or
degrading the performance.
•
Be careful when loading flammable
liquid in the luggage compartment.
It could cause operational and safety
degradation if the liquid leaks and
flows in the high voltage battery.
