Vehicle Collision
In a collision severe enough to deploy one or more of the airbags, the Honda CR-V FHEV and PHEV
electrical system is designed to automatically open the high-voltage electrical contactors. This disconnects
the high-voltage battery from the other high-voltage components and stops the flow of electricity in the
high-voltage cables.
However, responders should always assume that the high-voltage system is powered on, and take the
appropriate action described in this guide to power off the system.
•
If the orange high-voltage cable or high-voltage cover has been damaged and exposed wiring
or terminals, do not touch those exposed parts. Also, if you are unsure whether the exposed
wires or terminals are high-voltage parts or not, do not touch them. Unintentional touching
may result in serious injury or death due to severe burns or electric shock!
•
Always wear insulating protective equipment [insulated gloves, safety glasses and insulated
shoes] when unavoidably touching or potentially touching exposed parts of high-voltage
cables or high-voltage components..
•
Do not disconnect high-voltage sections. Exposure of high voltage parts by disconnection,
even after high voltage disconnection, may result in serious injury or death due to severe
burns or electric shock!
•
Do not disconnect any airbags that have not deployed or seat belt pretensioners that have
not deactivated. Airbags and seat belt pretensioners are equipped with high-pressure gas
generators, which may cause serious injury or death if disconnected.
•
Do not disconnect any airbags that have not deployed or seat belt pretensioners that have
not deactivated. Airbags and seat belt pretensioners are equipped with high-pressure gas
generators, which may cause serious injury or death if disconnected.
•
Always allow at least 3 minutes to elapse before disconnecting the airbag system, as the
system continues to function for 3 minutes after the power switch is switched OFF or the 12
V battery is disconnected. However, this is not a problem if all airbags have already deployed.
•
Use hydraulic cutters or other equipment that does not produce flying sparks to avoid the risk
of serious injury due to ignition caused by sparks.
