Never try to do maintenance work
on high voltage battery
components yourself. You may be
injured and the vehicle may be
damaged. Service and repair of
these high voltage battery

technician with proper knowledge
and tools. Exposure to high
voltage may cause shock, burns,
and even death. The high voltage

with special training.
High voltage components are
