3-3 How to Handle a Damaged Vehicle at an Accident Scene
3-3.1 High Voltage System Shut-Down Procedure
Any of the following procedures can shut down the high voltage system. The first response operation should
only begin after shutting down the high voltage system. If the vehicle is heavily damaged, for example the
Li-ion battery is deformed, broken or cracked, appropriate PPE must be used and the Li-ion battery and high
voltage components must not be touched.
• Failure to properly shut down the high voltage system before the Emergency
Response Procedures are performed will result in serious injury or death from
electrical shock. To prevent serious injury or death, DO NOT touch high voltage
harnesses or components without wearing appropriate PPE.
• When contact with high voltage components or high voltage harnesses is
unavoidable, or when there is risk of such contact, you must wear appropriate PPE.
