The Hybrid battery uses high voltage
top operate the electric motor and
other components and other compo-
nents. 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 is
recommended to be serviced by an
authorized Kia dealer.

WARNING
Never touch orange or high volt-
age labeled components includ-
ing wires, cables, and connec-
tions. If the insulators or covers
