THE COMPONENTS OF HYBRID VEHICLE (CONT.)
WARNING
This hybrid vehicle uses the hybrid
battery system inverter and con-
verter to generate high voltage.
High voltage in the hybrid battery
system is very dangerous and can
cause severe burns and electric
shock. This may result in serious
injury or death.
For your safety, never touch,replace, dismantle or remove the
hybrid battery system including
components, cables and connec-
tors. Severe burns or electric
shock may result in serious
injury or death if you do not fol-
low this warning.
When the hybrid battery system operates, the hybrid battery sys-
tem can be hot. Always be care-
ful because burns or electric
shock maybe caused by high
voltage.
Do not drop water or liquid to HPCU, HSG, Motor and fuses. The
hybrid system components are
covered, If you drop water or liq-
uid to hybrid system components,
it may result in electronic shock.
WARNING
This plug is attached to the hybrid
battery system, which contains
very dangerous high voltage.
Touching the service lever may
cause severe burns or electric
shock. When you touch it, be care-
ful not to damage.
