THE COMPONENTS OF HYBRID VEHICLE (CONT.)
The high voltage Hybrid battery is
used to operate the electric motor
and other components. High voltage
is dangerous if touched.
Your vehicle is equipped with orange
colored insulation and covers over
the high voltage components to pro-
tect people from electric shock. High
voltage warning labels are attached
to some system components as
additional warnings. Your vehicle's
hybrid system should therefore only
be inspected or repaired by an
authorized Kia dealer.
