from the metal chassis.

Reducing the risk of electrocution The high voltage components and harnesses have insulated cases or

orange-colored coverings which provide insulation and easy identifica-

ground. This connection helps protect the vehicle occupants and
emergency responders from high voltage electrical shock.
