GENERAL INFORMATION
WARNING
Have the battery pack serviced only
by an authorized electric vehicle
technician. Improper handling can result
in personal injury or death. Note:
The high-voltage battery does not
require regular service maintenance.
Your vehicle consists of various
high-voltage components and wiring. All
of the high-voltage power flows through
specific wiring assemblies labeled as such
or covered with a solid orange convolute,
or orange striped tape, or both. Do not
come in contact with these components.
The high-voltage battery system is a
high-voltage, lithium-ion battery system.
The pack is located in the rear cargo area.
The high-voltage battery system uses an
air-cooled system to regulate the
high-voltage battery temperature and help
maximize high-voltage battery life. Note:
The high-voltage battery is
equipped with air vents in the package
tray that help to regulate its temperature.
It is important to keep these openings free
of obstructions. Do not block the flow of
cabin air to this area.
HIGH-VOLTAGE SERVICE
DISCONNECT
The high-voltage service disconnect turns
off power from the high-voltage battery.
Note: There is a disconnect circuit in your
vehicle. Disconnecting the circuit will
automatically disable the high-voltage
battery.
To disable the battery and stop all
high-voltage electric activity in the vehicle
you can access the high-voltage
disconnect circuit. To do this, you must
unplug the circuit from the circuit port
connected to the battery.
The service disconnect is equipped with
an outer lever. This is to aid in properly
seating the service disconnect lever.
Remove this to disconnect the
high-voltage service disconnect.
The high-voltage service disconnect is
located behind the rear fold down seats.
