3. Emergency Response Steps
•
Failure to properly shut down the high voltage electrical system before the
Emergency Response Procedures are performed will result in serious injury or death
from electrical shock. To prevent serious injury or death, NEVER touch high voltage
harnesses or components without always wearing appropriate Personal Protective
Equipment (PPE).
•
If it is necessary to touch any of the high voltage harnesses or components you
must always wear appropriate PPE to avoid electrical shock. Shut down the high
voltage system by following the steps outlined in
3-3.1 High Voltage System Shut-
Wait at least ten (10) minutes for complete discharge of
the high voltage capacitor after the high voltage system has been shut down.
•
NEVER assume the LEAF is shut OFF simply because it is quiet.
•
If the READY
indicator or charging indicator are ON, the high voltage system is
active.
•
If possible, be sure to verify that the READY
indicator on the instrument cluster
is OFF and the high voltage system is stopped.
• Some of the under hood parts get hot and may cause serious burns. Use caution when
working on or around these parts.
