PRECAUTIONS RELATING
TO THE HYBRID SYSTEM
88) 89) 90) 91) 92) 93)
WORKS ON THE HYBRID
SYSTEM
The vehicle's hybrid system:
is isolated from the vehicle and is
secured by protective equipment;
is protected from the outside
environment;
is only accessible for maintenance
work by qualified personnel.
The vehicle monitors the integrity of the
hybrid system: if a fault is detected, a
dedicated message will appear on the
instrument panel display together with
the relevant icon.
Warnings
In case of fault, damage or fire to the
vehicle:
the components of the hybrid system
can be live and the high-voltage battery
can be charged;
the high-voltage battery, cables
and electrical components may be
exposed and pose a potential risk of
electrocution;
vapors released during handling or
disconnection of the high-voltage battery
from the system are potentially toxic and
flammable;
damage to the vehicle or high-voltage
battery may cause immediate or delayed
114
release of toxic and/or flammable gases
or a fire;
The high-voltage components are orange
(see the information in fig. 108).
WARNING Non-insulated cables or wires
may be visible inside or outside the car.
Never touch cables and/or connectors:
electric shock could occur, resulting in
injury or death by electrocution.
WARNING Do not touch, disassemble
or remove the electric climate control
compressor.
WARNING Do not touch / disassemble /
remove the high voltage battery.
WARNING
88) Improperly performed work, in
particular maintenance and repair work
on the high-voltage system, can result
in current leakage: risk of injury, burns
or death. Any maintenance, repair or
modification work must usually be carried
out by qualified technicians.
89) According to ECE100 standard, the
label is affixed to the vehicle's high-
voltage components with which the driver
may come into direct or indirect contact.
90) The components of the hybrid system
are not repairable. All high voltage wiring
harness is orange. If necessary, contact
the Jeep Dealership for servicing or repair
work. NEVER touch the orange wiring
harness. Severe injury or death by electric
shock could result if the high-voltage
system components are damaged.
91) Do not pour water or any other kind
of liquid into the boot. Even if insulated
by specific protections, high voltage
components are mounted. Risk of death
by electrocution.
92) Never perform any operation on high
voltage components. In case of need,
contact a Jeep Dealership.
93) Even if the high-voltage battery is
flat, the hybrid system will still remain
live - danger of fire or fatal injury. Do not
touch or modify live parts in any way (e.g.
orange cables, even with discharged high-
voltage batteries).
