WARNING: This page is about a different variant/trim than selected.
WARNING:
On vehicles equipped with the high voltage system, disconnecting the 12-volt battery negative cable alone will not power down the 12-volt system. You must perform the 12-volt Power Down procedure before proceeding. Failure to follow these instructions may result in possible serious or fatal injury.
- Remove the electric motor trim cover.
- Power down the high-voltage system. Refer to 12-VOLT POWER DOWN .
- Disconnect the negative 12-volt battery cable.
- Recover the refrigerant. Refer to STANDARD PROCEDURE .
- Raise the vehicle. Refer to HOISTING
.
