Introduction
This guide is intended only for the use of trained and certified rescuers and first responders.
This guide assumes the reader has:
Full knowledge of how the safety systems operate.
Completed all of the appropriate training and certification necessary to safely work in, and
manage rescue situations.
Therefore, this guide provides only the specific information required to understand and safely
handle the vehicle in an emergency situation.
It describes how to identify the vehicleand provides the locations and descriptions of the High
Voltage, safety restraint and fuel system components.
This guide includes the High Voltage disabling procedure and any safety considerations specific
to the vehicle.
Failure to follow the recommended practices and procedures can result in serious injury or
death.
The High Voltage Battery is the main energy source. The vehicle has a petrol engine, which is
only used to charge the high voltage battery.
The images in this guide may differ slightly to the vehicle you are working on.
Important safety instructions
This document contains important warnings and instructions that must be followed when
working with the vehiclein an emergency situation.
WARNING
Always use the appropriate tools, and always wear the appropriate Personal
Protective Equipment (PPE) when you cut the vehicle. Failure to follow these
instructions can cause serious injury or death.
WARNING
Regardless of the disable procedure you use, always assume that all of the
High Voltage components are energized. Cutting, crushing, or touching High
Voltage components can result in serious injury or death.
WARNING
After deactivation, the high voltage circuit requires 5 minutes to de-energize.

High Voltage battery
The high voltage cables that connect all of the high voltage components are shown in the next
two images. The high voltage cables on the vehicle are orange.
The vehicle is fitted with a 400 volt lithium-ion battery. The high voltage battery attaches to the
vehicle, below the floor and behind the front subframe. Do not break the high voltage battery
when you lift from under the vehicle, or when you use rescue tools.
