Electrical system

High voltage devices and

wiring

9 Warning

Exposure to high voltage may

cause shock, burns, and even

death. The high voltage

components in the vehicle should

only be serviced by specially

trained technicians .

High voltage components are

identified by labels. Do not

remove, open, take apart, or

modify these components. High

voltage cable or wiring has orange

covering. Do not probe, tamper

with, cut, or modify high voltage

cable or wiring.

Electrical system overload

The vehicle has fuses and circuit

breakers to protect against an

electrical system overload.

If the current electrical load is too

heavy, the circuit breaker will open

and close, protecting the circuit until

the current load returns to normal or

the problem is fixed. This greatly

reduces the chance of circuit

overload and fire caused by electrical

problems.

Fuses and circuit breakers protect the

following parts in the vehicle:

■ Headlight wiring

■ Windscreen wiper motor

■ Power windows and other power

accessories

Replace a bad fuse with a new one of

identical size and rating. If there is a

problem on the road and a fuse needs

to be replaced, the same amperage

fuse can be borrowed. Choose a

feature of the vehicle that is

temporarily not required and replace

the borrowed fuse as soon as

possible.

Headlight wiring

An electrical overload may cause the

lights to go on and off or in some

cases to remain off. In this case, have

the headlight wiring checked

immediately by a workshop.

Windscreen wipers

If the wiper motor overheats due to

heavy snow or ice, the windscreen

wipers will stop until the motor cools

down and the wiper control is turned

off. After removal of the blockage, the

wiper motor will restart when moving

the control to the desired operating

position.

Although the circuit is protected from

electrical overload, overload due to

heavy snow or ice may cause wiper

linkage damage.

Always clear ice and heavy snow

from the windscreen before using the

windscreen wipers. If the overload is

caused by an electrical problem and

not snow or ice, it must be serviced.
