engine restart battery in the engine compartment.
WARNING:
• You must wear insulated rubber gloves to prevent serious injury or death from severe burns or electric shock.
• Be sure to carry the service disconnect plug on your person after you remove it to prevent another person from
re-connecting it by mistake.
• The high voltage system may remain powered for up to 10 minutes after the vehicle is shut off or disabled. To
prevent serious injury or death from severe burns or electric shock, avoid touching, cutting, or breaching any
orange colored power cable or high voltage component.
• Before touching any high voltage parts, wiring, terminals or connector after the service disconnect plug has been
removed, wait more than 10 minutes for the high voltage charge in the condenser to dissipate.
• The SRS may remain powered for up to 60 seconds after the vehicle is shut off or disabled. To prevent serious
injury or death from unintentional SRS deployment, avoid breaching the SRS components.
• If none of the disabling procedures can be performed, proceed with caution as there is no assurance that the high
voltage electrical system, SRS, or fuel pump are disabled.
