The Auxiliary Battery
•
The GS450h contains a lead-acid 12-Volt battery.
The 12-Volt auxiliary battery powers the
vehicle’s electrical system similar to a
conventional vehicle. As with conventional
vehicles, the auxiliary battery is grounded to the
metal chassis of the vehicle.
•
The auxiliary battery is located in luggage
compartment. It is concealed by a fabric cover
on the passenger side in the rear quarter
panel well.
Optional Active Stabiliser
Suspension System Battery
•
The GS450h may be optionally equipped with
an active stabiliser suspension system powered
by a separate 12-Volt lead-acid battery. Similar
to the auxiliary battery, the 12-Volt active
stabiliser suspension system battery is
grounded to the metal chassis of the vehicle.
•
When equipped with the optional active
stabiliser suspension system, the GS450h is
equipped with run-flat tyres, and no spare tyre.
The active stabiliser suspension system battery
is located in the luggage compartment, and
concealed under deck fabric and tool tray in the
spare tyre well.
NOTE:
The 12-Volt battery for the optional active stabiliser
suspension system does not power the vehicle’s
low voltage system. Responders need to identify
and distinguish the auxiliary battery from the active
stabiliser suspension system battery. When in
doubt, during power disconnect, disable both
12-Volt batteries in the luggage compartment.
