  • When working on the high voltage system or related components, be sure to observe and be aware of the "HIGH VOLTAGE SYSTEM GENERAL SAFETY INFORMATION AND CAUTION ". If not, it may cause serious accidents due to electric shock or short circuit.

    Information 

    Disconnect the connector in the engine room to shut the 12 V power off since the auxiliary battery (12 V) is integrated into the high voltage battery.
