HIGH-VOLTAGE BATTERY PACK
• Removing the high-voltage service disconnect will disconnect
the high-voltage from the vehicle.
• The individual cells inside the battery pack will still be charged.
• Do not cut, weld or screw into the high-voltage battery case or
penetrate the batteries in any way.
The high-voltage battery pack is located behind the rear seatback.
• The total voltage of the battery pack is approximately 275 volts DC.
• The battery case is designed to be water resistant.
• The battery cells contain a base electrolyte (consisting of potassium
hydroxide as the dominant active ingredient) that is absorbed in a
special paper. The electrolyte will not leak from the battery under most
conditions, however, if the battery is crushed, it is possible for a small
amount (drops) of electrolyte to leak.
These warnings must be observed when working with a damaged battery:
NOTE: If possible, remove the high-voltage service disconnect.
