3. Disable direct hazards / safety regulations
NOTE:
Disconnecting the 12V auxiliary battery may make it impossible to perform operations related to electrical
components. Perform the necessary operations before removing the 12V auxiliary battery terminal.
XPANDER (HEV)/XPANDER CROSS (HEV) is equipped with a lithium-ion battery of max. voltage 310 V. This is used
to activate the electric motor unit and some components such as air conditioning.
Before rescue work can begin, it is necessary to ensure “isolation” and “cut off” from the high voltage circuit in order to
prevent the risk of electric shock before handling the vehicle.
Drive battery specification is “1.1 kWh lithium-ion, 259 V”. Drive battery’s maximum voltage capacity is 310 V when
the drive battery is being charged.
CAUTION:
Silence does not always mean that the hybrid system is turned off.
Ensure that the high voltage circuit is “isolated” or “cut off”.
(1) Isolation from the high voltage circuit
1) The high voltage circuit is insulated from the vehicle body.
2) All of high voltage components are covered up by cases and covers.
Note that high voltage wiring cables can be distinguished from normal wiring harness by their orange coloured insulation.
3) The cases and covers are insulated from the high voltage circuit inside.
(2) Disconnection of the high voltage circuit
The high voltage circuit will be isolated by removing the service plug.
(3) Precautions when rescuing passengers
WARNING:
Failure to follow these instructions may result in serious injury such as electric shock:
(1) This vehicle is equipped with a high voltage system of max operation voltage 310 V.
(2) The possibility of a high volume electrolyte leak as a result of the drive battery damage is reduced by the design
inside the drive battery.
(3) Drive battery uses an electrolyte made of flammable “Carbonate ester solution of lithium salts”.
When reacting with moisture in the air, this electrolyte generates acidic organic vapour which is harmful to
human body. Therefore, when handling this, please use appropriate Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)
including mask for organic gas, solvent resistance gloves and eye protector and use appropriate caution.
(4) The high voltage circuit is always active regardless of the power supply mode of the power switch.
NOTE:
Disconnecting the 12V auxiliary battery may make it impossible to perform operations related to electrical components.
Perform the necessary operations before removing the 12V auxiliary battery terminal.
