It is necessary to cut the vehicle body and immediate rescue is essential or the orange-colored
high voltage cables are exposed
WARNING:
Always wear appropriate Personal Protective Equipment (PPE).
Before cutting the vehicle body, confirm the locations of the orange high voltage wiring, high
voltage components, and SRS air bag components shown on page 2 and in the illustrations
below.
NEVER CUT THE MAIN DRIVE LITHIUM-ION BATTERY, ORANGE HIGH VOLTAGE
WIRING, HIGH VOLTAGE COMPONENTS, OR THE SRS AIR BAG COMPONENTS.
To prevent the risk of a high voltage electric shock and deployment of SRS airbags system, DO NOT
cut the colored (shaded) areas.
Risk of high voltage shock
Never cut this area. Risk of serious injury or death.
Risk of curtain airbag deployment
Never cut this area. It contains a device to generate compressed gases for curtain
airbag deployment.
If the curtain airbag is already deployed, it's possible to cut here.
Risk of side airbag and/or curtain airbag deployment
Do not cut this area because there is risk that a side airbag and/or a curtain airbag may
deploy due to a short circuit caused by the accident. If both the side airbag and curtain
airbag have already been deployed, this area can be cut.
If at least 1 minute has elapsed after removing the negative terminal of 12V battery or
turning off the “Electric Motor Switch (Ignition switch)”, it’s possible to cut this area.
