WARNING!
•
Never try to remove the high voltage battery
service disconnect. The high voltage battery
service disconnect is used when your vehicle
requires service by a qualified technician at an
authorized dealership. Failure to follow this
warning can result in electrical shock, toxic
emissions, fire, and other hazards which can
cause death or serious injury including severe
burns, respiratory injuries, and blindness.
•
The high voltage battery and battery case
have no parts that you or an unqualified tech-
nician can service. Under no circumstances
should you or an unqualified technician open,
disassemble, penetrate, or tamper with the
high voltage battery, battery case, their
cables, or connectors. Damage to these com-
ponents can result in electrical shock, toxic
emissions, fire, and other hazards which can
cause death or serious injury including severe
burns, respiratory injuries, and blindness. You
should take the vehicle to an authorized deal-
ership for any service or maintenance on
these high voltage components.
•
The high voltage system can be hot during
and after starting, and when the vehicle is
shut off or charging. Be careful of both the
high voltage and the high temperature. Failure
to do so can result in severe burns.
Disposal of the High Voltage Battery
Your vehicle's high voltage battery is designed to
last the life of your vehicle.
WARNING!
Your vehicle contains a sealed Lithium-ion high
voltage battery. If the battery is disposed of
improperly, there is a risk of electrical shock
and toxic emissions which can cause severe
burns, respiratory injuries, fires, and other haz-
ards resulting in serious injury or death.
General Information
The vehicle is also equipped with a Battery Man-
agement system that is designed to maximize
the life expectancy of the high voltage battery,
maximize driving range, and ensure safe
operation.
NOTE:
During start up and shut down, a clicking noise
may be heard from within the vehicle. When the
vehicle is preparing to start, the contactors inside
the battery are closed to make the stored elec-
tricity inside available for vehicle use. After the
vehicle is shut down, the contactors open to
electrically isolate the battery from other vehicle
systems. The clicking noise is the sound of these
contactors as they open and close during normal
operation.
