HIGH-VOLTAGE BATTERY

WARNING: This battery pack should only be serviced by an
authorized electric vehicle technician. Improper handling can

result in personal injury or death.

Your vehicle consists of various high-voltage components and wiring. All
of the high-voltage power flows through specific wiring assemblies which
are labeled as such and/or are covered with a solid orange convolute or
orange striped tape. Do not come in contact with these components.

No regular maintenance, other than regular charging is required.

The high-voltage battery system is a high-voltage, lightweight lithium-ion
battery system comprised of two individual packs. One pack is located in
the rear cargo area behind the second row seats, and the other is located
underneath the vehicle. The high-voltage battery system uses an advanced,
active liquid heating and cooling system to regulate high-voltage battery
temperature and help maximize high-voltage battery life.

Note: The lithium-ion, high-voltage battery will experience gradual
capacity loss with time and use, which is considered normal wear and tear.
