Least-Desirable Method for Preventing

Current Flow and Hydrogen Leakage

Turn off the capacitor module main switch,

then turn off the manual hydrogen shut-off

valve.

This method does not disable the airbags or the

seat belt tensioners.

It should be used only if the key switch is in the

ON (II) position, you cannot reach the key, and

you cannot reach under the hood.

Turning off the capacitor module main switch

prevents electric current from flowing into the

high-voltage cables from the capacitor module.

Turning off the manual hydrogen shut-off valve

stops the hydrogen flow from the fuel tanks.

Within 90 seconds, the fuel cells will stop

generating electricity, and electric current will

stop flowing into the high-voltage cables.

To use this method, do this:

1. Lift up the carpet covering the floor of the

cargo area.

2. Locate the capacitor module main switch at

the center of the cargo area floor.
