• When the hybrid battery system
operates, the hybrid battery system
can be hot. Always be careful
because burns or electric shock may
be caused by high voltage.
• Do not spill liquid on the HPCU, HSG,
motor and fuses. If the hybrid system
components come in contact with
liquid, it may result in electric shock.
Service interlock connector
ONX4HQ010013
In case of emergency, cut the service
interlock connector cable to isolate the
high voltage of the battery.
WARNING
Never disconnect the service interlock
connector or cut the wire except in an
emergency situation.
Serious problems may occur, such as
the vehicle will not start.
Hybrid battery cooling duct
ONX4HQ010014
The hybrid battery cooling duct is
located of the Passenger’s seat. The
cooling duct cools down the hybrid
battery. When the hybrid battery cooling
duct is blocked, the hybrid battery may
be overheated.
Clean the cooling duct for the hybrid
battery with a dry cloth on a regular
basis.
