9 Danger
Never try to perform maintenance
work on high voltage battery
components yourself. You may be
injured and the vehicle may be
damaged. Service and repair of
these high voltage battery
components should only be
performed by a trained service
technician with proper knowledge
and tools. Exposure to high
voltage may cause shock, burns,
and even death. The high voltage
components in the vehicle can
only be serviced by technicians
with special training.
High voltage components are
identified by labels. Do not
remove, open, take apart, or
modify these components. High
voltage cable or wiring has orange
covering. Do not probe, tamper
with, cut, or modify high voltage
cable or wiring.
9 Warning
Only perform engine compartment
checks when the vehicle is off.
The cooling fan may start
operating even if the vehicle is off.
Caution
Even small amounts of
contamination can cause damage
to vehicle systems. Do not allow
contaminants to contact the fluids,
reservoir caps, or dipsticks.
