Charging Precautions
WARNING:
The electrical circuits in the vehicle work on several different voltages. In addition to low voltage circuits, the high voltage battery can produce over 400V, with a high current flow. It is imperative that all the instructions regarding electrical safety are followed, whether in this service information, the Owner's Manual, or on labels attached to components in the vehicle. Always observe and obey the instructions; they are there for your safety.
WARNING:
Take special care with high voltage wiring (identified by the orange outer sleeving), their connectors, and the components connected to the wiring.
WARNING:
Never work on a vehicle while it is charging. The high voltage circuits will be live.
WARNING:
Never touch, cut, or open an orange high voltage power cable or high voltage component unless the vehicle electrical isolation procedure has been performed and you have confirmed that there is no high voltage present.
WARNING:
Never assume that the vehicle is shut off because it is silent. Always perform the vehicle electrical isolation procedure to ensure all circuits are isolated.
WARNING:
After disabling the vehicle, power is still maintained for 90 seconds in the SRS system and for 1 minute in the high voltage electrical system. If the disabling procedure cannot be performed, proceed with caution as there is no assurance that the high voltage electrical system and/or SRS are disabled. Never touch, cut, or open any orange high-voltage power cable or high voltage component until after the battery has been disabled.
WARNING:
Never cut into the sealed battery enclosure due to the high voltage and electrocution risks.
WARNING:
The Wall Connector is best installed and tested by a Tesla certified electrician.
WARNING:
Never try to modify the cables or connectors on the Wall Connector or mobile connector.
WARNING:
Always ensure that the Mobile Connector is located in a clean and dry area during use.
WARNING:
Never use an extension cable with the Mobile Connector.
