DISCONNECT HIGH VOLTAGE — SIDE
Rivian recommends you use the following tools (high-voltage insulated) to cut the cut loop to disconnect high
voltage on the side of the vehicle:
l insulated gloves
l personal protective equipment
l hydraulic cutter (a circular saw can be used if necessary)
If you can't reach the primary cut loop under the hood, cut the second cut loop inside the vehicle frame in the
vertical post behind the passenger-side rear window (C pillar).
To disconnect the high-voltage cable, follow these steps:
1. Cut the post horizontally with the hydraulic cutter. Check to be sure that you have cut through the cut loop.
2. Wait one minute to allow the airbags and seat belt system to discharge any remaining energy.
