vehicle
without appropriate Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) will result in serious
injury or death from electrical shock. • The ignition switch of the submerged vehicle must be turned OFF first, if possible.
Then
the vehicle must be completely out of the water and drained to avoid electrical
shock.
• Always wear appropriate Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) and remove/drain
water
before removing the service plug when working on a vehicle after a fire or
submersion to avoid electrical shock.
• If the vehicle is in the water, to avoid electrical shock NEVER touch the high-voltage
components,
harnesses or service plug. PPE must always be worn when touching or
working on high-voltage components. AAYIA0274ZZ
