GETTING TO KNOW YOUR VEHICLE

HIGH VOLTAGE BATTERY
Your vehicle is equipped with a Lithium-ion high
voltage battery that is used to power the electric
powertrain systems and the 12 Volt vehicle
electrical system.
The high voltage battery is located under the
middle section of the vehicle, below and in front
of the second row seating. The high voltage
battery is maintenance free and designed to
last for the life of the vehicle.
Lithium-ion batteries provide the following
benefits:
Lithium-ion batteries are much lighter than

other types of rechargeable batteries of the
same size.
Lithium-ion batteries hold their charge; they

only lose approximately three percent of their
charge per month.
Lithium-ion batteries have no memory, which

means that you do not have to completely
discharge them before recharging, as with
some other batteries.
Lithium-ion batteries can be recharged and

discharged thousands of times.
High Voltage Battery Service Disconnect
The High Voltage Battery Service Disconnect is
located under the access panel, in front of the
second row passenger seating.
If your vehicle requires high voltage battery
service, see an authorized dealer.
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 trained technician at an
authorized dealer. Failure to follow this
warning can cause severe burns or electrical
shock that may result in serious injury or
death.
Disposal of the High Voltage Battery
Your vehicle's high voltage battery is designed
to last the life of your vehicle. See an authorized
dealer for information on the disposal of the
battery if it should require replacement.

noise heard is the sound of these contactors as
they open and close during normal operation.
The system will also emit a noise from the front
