The high voltage battery removal cautions
Warning
•The inspection and removal of the high voltage parts of this vehicle must be
performed by persons who have acquired qualifications specified by the laws and regulations.
•The protective equipment indicated in the workshop manual is recommended by Mazda.
Use equipment specified by the laws and regulations of each country.
•Wear insulating gloves when inspecting or removing the high voltage parts.
Touching the high voltage parts without wearing insulating gloves could cause electrical
shock and result in serious injury or, in the worst case, death.
•Before removing the high voltage parts, remove the service plug and wait until 10 min have
elapsed.Servicing without removing the service plug or before 10 min have elapsed after
removing the service plug could cause electrical shock and result in serious injury or,
in the worst case, death.
•Do not spin the tires while removing the high voltage parts.
If the tires spin, power generation occurs even if the service plug is removed.
If power generation occurs, it could cause electrical shock and result in serious injury or,
in the worst case, death.
•Verify that the charge connector is not connected to the vehicle when inspecting or
removing the high voltage parts. If the charge connector is connected to the vehicle,
high voltage may be supplied to the vehicle. If this occurs, it could cause electrical shock
and result in serious injury or, in the worst case, death.
•Always observe the following thoroughly to ensure safety when removing the high voltage parts.
Otherwise, the high voltage circuit may operate on the vehicle regardless of whether or not
the main power is switched OFF or ON (READY off or on). If this occurs, it could cause electrical
shock and result in serious injury or, in the worst case, death.
