What will be an ideal response?
Before doing any service on a hybrid vehicle, refer to the service manual for that specific vehicle. All hybrids have similar operation but have different systems and components; this is true for vehicles made by the same manufacturer.
• All high voltage wires and harnesses are wrapped in orange-colored insulation. Respect the color and stay away from it unless the system is de-powered.
• Warning and/or caution labels are attached to all high voltage parts. Be careful not to touch these cables and parts without the correct protective gear, such as safety gloves.
• Make sure the high-voltage system is shut down and isolated from the vehicle before working near or with any high-voltage component.
• If the vehicle needs to be towed into the shop for repairs, make sure it is not towed on its drive wheels. Doing this will drive the generator(s) to work, which can overcharge the batteries and cause them to explode. Always tow these vehicles with the drive wheels off the ground or move them on a flat bed.
• When working on or near the high-voltage system, even when it is de-powered, always use insulated tools.
• Never leave tools or loose parts under the hood or close to the battery pack. These can easily cause a short.
• Never wear anything metallic, such as rings, necklaces, watches, and earrings, when working on a hybrid vehicle.
• In the case of a fire, use a Class ABC powder type extinguisher or very large quantities of water.
