4. Wait at least ten (10) minutes for complete discharge of the high voltage capacitor after the
service plug has been removed.
5. Open the hood.

Insulate the negative (-) battery cable terminal with
insulated tape.
7. Perform the dismantling operation.
3-4 Cutting the Vehicle Body
• Do not cut into high voltage related areas to avoid severe personal injury or
death.
• Do not cut into the Li-ion battery to avoid severe personal injury or death.
• When removing parts, DO NOT touch the high voltage parts or the insides of the
exposed orange-colored high voltage cables to avoid severe personal injury or death.
• Use the appropriate tools (for example, hydraulic cutter) when cutting the vehicle to
help protect the dismantler to avoid severe personal injury or death.
• Do not cut air bag parts to avoid unintended deployment of the air bags and the risk of
severe personal injury or death.
If at least ten (10) minutes have passed since the dismantler shut down the high voltage system (refer to
3-3 High Voltage System Shut-Down Procedure ), then the dismantler can cut the vehicle except for the
Li-ion battery.
DO NOT cut the Li-ion battery due to possible electrocution risk and electrolyte solution
leakage.
