2-4 High-Voltage Safety Measures
Circuit insulation
The high-voltage positive (+) and negative (-) circuits are insulated
from the metal chassis.
Reducing the risk of electrocution The high-voltage components and harnesses have insulated cases or orange-colored coverings which provide insulation and easy
identification.
The high-voltage battery case is electrically connected to the vehicle
ground. This connection helps protect the vehicle occupants and
emergency responders from high-voltage electrical shock.
Identification The high-voltage components are labeled “WARNING” similar to the
label shown below. All high-voltage harnesses are coated in orange.
