4. Vehicle CUT Zones
It is necessary to cut the vehicle body and immediate rescue is essential or the orange-coloured high
voltage cables are exposed
- Preliminary confirmation
Read this page and "2. High-voltage component and wiring harness location" before cutting the vehicle body.
- Use a hydraulic cutter or a suitable tool which does not generate sparks to cut the vehicle body. If you fail to do
this, you or the passengers may be seriously injured.
- Never touch any exposed orange-colour high voltage wiring cables (cutoff or break a plastic jacket), or the
portions shown in the figure.
- NEVER cut the drive battery.
Risk of high voltage shock
Never cut this area in vicinity of the high voltage components and cables as an electric
shock may occur.
Risk of airbag deployment
Do not cut this area because there is risk that an airbag may be deployed due to a short
circuit or an impact caused by the accident.
If an airbag has already been deployed, this area can be cut. If at least one minute has
elapsed after disconnecting the negative terminal of 12V auxiliary battery or turning off the
ignition switch, this area can be also cut.
