• Bring the following equipment:
o Class ABC powder type fire extinguisher
o A non-conductive object – about 5 feet long (1.5 meters) – used to
safely push someone away from the vehicle if they accidentally come
in contact with high voltage.
2. APPROACHING A DAMAGED VEHICLE
• Disable the high voltage electrical system using as many of the following
steps as possible:
o Secure the vehicle - Put the shift lever into Park. Remove the ignition
key. Block the wheels if necessary. Removing the ignition key or
turning it to the off position will disconnect the high voltage system.
o Disconnect the negative cable from the 12-volt battery – this will also
disconnect the high voltage.
o If possible, place the High Voltage Service Disconnect Switch (see
section on Hybrid components for location) into the service position.
To place it in the service position, turn counter clockwise and then lift
out. Reinsert the Disconnect Switch with the arrow aligned to the
service or shipping position.
.
WARNING – Removing the High Voltage Service Disconnect Switch
disconnects high voltage from the vehicle. The individual cells inside
the battery pack will still be charged. Do not cut into the high voltage
battery case or penetrate the batteries in any way.
