3-4.2 Cutting the Vehicle Body
DANGER
• Do not cut into high-voltage related areas to avoid severe personal injury or death.
• Do not cut into the high-voltage battery to avoid severe personal injury or death.
• When removing parts, NEVER touch the high-voltage parts or the insides of the
exposed orange-colored high-voltage cables to avoid severe personal injury or
death. Appropriate Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) must always be worn when
touching or working on high-voltage components. To avoid unintended reinstallation and risk of electrical shock and severe personal injury or
death,
the dismantler should carry the fuses or service plug on his/her person while work
is in progress. Do not cut air bag parts to avoid unintended deployment of the air bags and the risk of
severe
personal injury or death.
If approximately (10) minutes have passed since the rescuer shut down the high voltage system
[refer to 3-4.1 High-voltage System Shut-Down Procedure (DG–20)], then the dismantler can cut the
vehicle
except for the high voltage battery. DO NOT cut the high voltage battery due to possible electrocution risk and electrolyte solution
leakage.
