Hybrid System Overview Components of the plug-in hybrid vehicle
Your vehicle is equipped with orange
colored insulation and covers over
the high voltage components to
protect people from electric shock.
High voltage warning labels are
attached to some system compo
-
nents as additional warnings. Have
your vehicle serviced by a profes
-
sional workshop. Kia recommends to
visit an authorized Kia dealer/ser
-
vice partner.
HPCU
HEV Battery
Never touch orange or high voltage
labeled components including wires,
cables, and connections. If the insu
-
lators or covers are damaged or
removed, severe injury or death
from electrocution may occur.
When replacing the fuses in the
engine compartment, never touch
the HPCU. The HPCU carries high
voltage. Touching the HPCU could
result in electrocution, serious
injury, or death.
䳜 Do not pile up any items in an
area behind the high voltage bat
-
tery. In a crash, the battery may
become unstable, or its perfor
-
mance may degrade.
䳜 Do not apply strong force nor pile
up any items above the tailgate.
Such an attempt may distort the
high voltage battery case, causing
a safety problem or degrading the
performance.
䳜 Be careful when loading inflam
-
mable liquid in tailgate. It could
cause operational and safety deg
-
radation if the liquid leaks and
flows into the high voltage bat
-
tery.
