Hybrid Service Safety Precautions

CAUTION (HYBRID SYSTEM)
1. PRECAUTIONS FOR MAINTENANCE AND SERVICE
The hybrid system includes a high voltage circuit. Mishandling may cause electric shocks and
leakage. Therefore, perform proper operations by following procedures in the Subaru Service
Manual.
• Technicians who have not received Subaru Hybrid training should not perform maintenance
or service of high voltage circuits.
• All the harnesses and connectors for power cables are orange in color. In addition, caution
labels indicating [High Voltage] are attached on the High Voltage battery and its battery
cover. Do not touch the wires and parts related to high voltage carelessly.
• Use great care, when handling the power supply circuits for high voltage system shown
in the figure.
• When performing maintenance of the high voltage system, make sure to take measures
for preventing electrocution, by wearing insulated gloves, removing the Service Plug,
etc. In addition, carry the removed Service Plug in your pocket in order to prevent other
servicemen from accidentally installing during work. <Ref. to PC-10, Service Plug,
CAUTION (HYBRID SYSTEM), Precaution.
NOTE: Do not turn the ignition to ON with the Service Plug removed in order to prevent
malfunctions.
NOTE: After removing the Service Plug, be sure to wait for ten minutes before touching
the high voltage connectors and terminals. This time allows the High Voltage
Condenser in the Inverter to discharge.
• When wearing insulated gloves for work, make sure there are no holes or damage to the
gloves.
• During the work, do not carry any metallic products, such as mechanical pencils and
scales, which may be dropped and may cause short.
• Parts with high voltage and strong magnetic force are used. Therefore, during the work,
do not carry any metallic products that may cause short, or magnetic recording media
(such as cash cards and prepaid cards) whose magnetic record may get destroyed.
