Section 2: Electrical
Auxiliary Power Point — 12V
NOTICE: Power outlets are designed for accessory plugs only. Do not insert any other
object in the power outlet as this will damage the outlet and blow the fuse. Do not hang any
type of accessory or accessory bracket from the plug. Improper use of the power outlet can
cause damage not covered by your warranty.
Note: Do not use the power point for operating the cigarette lighter element (if equipped).
To prevent the fuse from being blown, do not use the power point(s) over the vehicle capacity of
12-VDC/180W.
To prevent the battery from being discharged, do not use the power point longer than necessary
when the engine is not running.
Buffer Zone
WARNING: The nominal high-voltage traction battery (HVTB) voltage is 330 volt DC. A
buffer zone must be set up and high-voltage insulated safety gloves and a face shield must
be worn when modifying the vehicle in close proximity to the high-voltage system. Failure
to follow these instructions may result in severe injury or death.
WARNING: The high-voltage traction battery (HVTB) and charging system contains
high-voltage components and wiring. High-voltage cables and wiring are orange in color.
High-voltage insulated safety gloves and a face shield must be worn when carrying out any
modifications on this vehicle. Failure to follow these instructions may result in severe
personal injury or death.
WARNING: Before carrying out any vehicle modifications, the high-voltage traction
battery (HVTB) must be depowered. Failure to follow these instructions may result in severe
personal injury or death.
WARNING: The high-voltage insulated safety rubber insulating gloves that are to be
worn while working on the high-voltage system should be of the appropriate safety and
protection rating for use on the high-voltage system. They must be inspected before use
and must always be worn in conjunction with the leather outer gloves. Any hole in the
rubber insulating glove is a potential entry point for high voltage. Failure to follow these
instructions may result in severe personal injury or death.
