Hybrid vehicle components
High voltage battery system
HPCU (Hybrid Power Control Unit) *1
ONQ5EPQ011016L
High voltage battery system *2
ONQ5EPQ011015L
* 1: Located in the engine compartment
* 2: Located under the 2nd row seats
WARNING
Never touch orange coloured or high
voltage labeled components, including
wires, cables, and connections. When
the insulators or covers are damaged or
removed, severe injury or death from
electrocution may occur.
WARNING
Whilst replacing the fuses in the engine
compartment, never touch the HPCU.
The HPCU carries high voltage. Touch -
ing the HPCU may result in electrocu -
tion, serious injury, or death.
WARNING
In the hybrid system, the hybrid battery
uses high voltage to operate the motor
and other components. This high volt -
1 12
age hybrid battery system can be very
dangerous.
Never touch the hybrid system. When
you touch the hybrid battery system,
serious injury or death may occur.
CAUTION
僅 Do not pile up any items in an area
behind the high voltage battery. In a
crash, the battery may become unsta -
ble, or its performance may degrade.
僅 Do not apply strong force nor pile up
any items above the luggage com -
partment. Such an attempt may dis -
tort the high voltage battery case,
causing a safety problem or degrad -
ing the performance.
僅 Be careful when loading flammable
liquid in the luggage compartment. It
could cause operational and safety
degradation if the liquid leaks and
flows in the high voltage battery.
Drive motor *3
ODL3HQ013007
* 3: Located in the engine compartment
WARNING
僅 Do not disassemble the high voltage
motor connector. The high voltage
motor connector may contain residual
high voltage. Coming in contact with
high voltage may result in death or
serious injury.
