Never touch orange colored or high voltage labeled components, including wires, cables, and connections. When the insulators or covers are damaged or removed, severe injury or death from electrocution may occur.

While replacing the fuses in the engine compartment, never touch the HPCU. The HPCU carries high voltage. Touching the HPCU may result in electrocution, serious injury, or death.

In the hybrid system, the hybrid battery uses high voltage to operate the motor and other components. The high voltage hybrid battery system can be very dangerous.

Never touch the hybrid system. When you touch the hybrid battery system, serious injury or death may occur.

• Do not place any items in the area behind the high voltage battery. In a crash, the battery may become unstable or its performance may degrade.

• Do not apply strong force to or place any items above the trunk. The high voltage battery case might distort, causing a safety problem or degrading the performance.

• Be careful when loading flammable liquid in the trunk. If the liquid leaks and flows in the high voltage battery, it could cause operational and safety degradation.

• Do not disassemble the high voltage motor connector. The high voltage motor connector may contain residual high voltage. Coming in contact with high voltage may result in death or serious injury.

• Have the system inspected and repaired by an authorized Kia dealer.

• Do not disassemble or assemble the high voltage battery system. Doing so may result in electric shock, causing death or serious injury.

• If you disassemble or assemble hybrid system components improperly, it may damage the performance and reliability of your vehicle.

• If electrolyte comes in contact with your body, clothes, or eyes, immediately flush with a large quantity of fresh tap water. Have your eyes examined by a doctor as soon as possible.

Never assemble or disassemble the high voltage battery system.

• If you assemble or disassemble the high voltage battery system, the durability and performance of the vehicle may be damaged.

• When you want to check the high voltage battery system, have your vehicle inspected by an authorized Kia dealer.

• Do not touch the high voltage battery or the high voltage cable connected to the motor (orange color). Severe burns and electric shock may occur. For your safety, do not touch the cover of electronic components or the electronic cable. Do not remove the cover of electronic components or the electronic cable. In particular, never touch the high voltage battery system when the hybrid system is operating. This may result in death or serious injury.

• Never use the package modules (high voltage battery, inverter, and converter) for any other purpose.

• Never locate the high voltage system near or in a fire.

• Never drill into or strike the package module. Otherwise, it may be damaged. An electric shock may occur, resulting in serious injury or death.

This hybrid vehicle uses the hybrid battery system inverter and converter to generate high voltage. High voltage in the hybrid battery system is very dangerous and may cause severe burns and electric shock. This may result in serious injury or death.

• For your safety, never touch, replace, disassemble, or remove the hybrid battery system (including components, cables, and connectors). Severe burns or electric shock may result in serious injury or death when you fail to follow this warning.

• The hybrid battery system can be hot when it operates. Always be careful to avoid burns or electric shock that might be caused by high voltage.

• Do not spill liquid on the HPCU, HSG, motor, or fuses. If the hybrid system components come in contact with liquid, this may result in electric shock.
