Side Skis
There are two side skis on each side of the HV battery (Figure 13). For each side ski, there is a “Side Ski Zone,” which
extends 5 inches (127 mm) inward from the edge of the HV battery.

• Recommend HV battery replacement if:
o The ski, or part of the ski, is detached from the HV battery.
o A jack point has extensive damage where it cannot be used to safely lift the vehicle.
o The HV battery enclosure fails leak test due to impact.
o The HV battery enclosure has low isolation due to impact.
• Recommend the replacement of the fastener if a fastener attaching the HV battery to the vehicle is damaged or
stripped.
• Re-tap the fastener hole if a fastener hole is damaged and the fastener cannot withstand full torque.
• Deburr the area with a hand deburring tool to remove the sharp edges if sharp edges are found (Figure 14).
