3. Emergency Response Steps
• Failure to properly shut down the high-voltage electrical system before the
Emergency Response Procedures are performed will result in serious injury or death
from electrical shock. To prevent serious injury or death, NEVER touch high-voltage
harnesses or components without always wearing appropriate Personal Protective
Equipment (PPE) .
• If it is necessary to touch any of the high-voltage harnesses or components you
must
always wear appropriate PPE to avoid electrical shock. Shut down the
high-voltage system by following the steps outlined in 3-3.1 High-voltage System
Shut-Down
Procedures (FRG–17) . Wait at least ten (10) minutes for complete
discharge
of the high-voltage capacitor after the high-voltage system has been
shut down. • NEVER assume the LEAF is shut OFF simply because it is quiet.
• If the READY indicator or charging indicator are ON, the high-voltage system
is
active.
• If possible, be sure to verify that the READY indicator on the instrument
cluster
is OFF and the high-voltage system is stopped.
• Some of the under hood parts get hot and may cause serious burns. Use caution when working on or around these parts.
