• If the charge connector is connected to the vehicle, remove it. Refer to
3-4.1 Removing the Charge Connector (DG–18) .
• The vehicle contains parts that contain powerful magnets. If a person who is
wearing a pacemaker or other medical device is close to these parts, the medical
device may be affected by the magnets. Such persons must not perform work on the
vehicle.
• Be sure to verify that the READY indicator is off and the high voltage system is
stopped.
• After the high voltage system is shut down, please wait at least ten (10) minutes for
complete discharge of the high voltage capacitor. While waiting, do not operate any
vehicle functions.
• After shutting down the high voltage system and removing the 12V battery negative (-)
terminal, wait at least three (3) minutes to discharge the air bag capacitor. Even
though the 12V battery negative (-) is disconnected, the Supplemental Restraint
System (SRS) air bag maintains voltage at least three (3) minutes. During this time,
there is a possibility of sudden SRS air bag inflation due to harness short circuit
or damage and it may cause serious injuries.
• Always shut down the high voltage system before disconnecting the 12V battery. Not
doing so may result in serious injury or death from electrical shock.
• The 12V system will remain active even after the 12V battery negative (-) terminal is
removed while the high voltage system is active. The high voltage system is active during
any of the following conditions:
• charging indicator is turned ON
• READY indicator is turned ON
Refer to 1-1.2 Interior Component Location (DG–7) for location of these indicators.
This is because DC/DC converter will not shut down and power will be supplied to the
12V system and high voltage system continuously.
