3-3.1 High Voltage System Shut-Down Procedures
Any of the following procedures can shut down and isolate the high voltage system. The first response
operation should only begin after shutting down the high voltage system. If the vehicle is heavily damaged,
for example the Li-ion battery is deformed, broken or cracked, appropriate Personal Protective Equipment
(PPE) must always be used and the Li-ion battery and high voltage components must not be touched.
• Failure to properly shut down the high voltage 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). PPE must always be worn when touching or working on high
voltage components
• When contact with high voltage components or high voltage harnesses is
unavoidable, or when there is risk of such contact, you must always wear appropriate
PPE. PPE must always be worn when touching or working on high voltage
components.
