This battery pack should only be
serviced 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

are covered with a solid orange convolute,
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

temperature and help maximize high voltage
battery life. Note:

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.
