Title: Demonstrate awareness of the safety aspects of supplemental restraint systems (SRS), electronic brake control systems, and high-voltage hybrid vehicle circuits.
Course: Diesel Equipment Technology I (20107-I) > Section: Practicing Lab and Personal Safety

Demonstration should include following manufacturer guidelines. When working with hybrid vehicles, workers should be able to identify

- the location of the battery
- the physical appearance of the disconnects (i.e., small, plastic pieces that fit into the side of a hybrid battery)
- the location of high-voltage circuits, according to service materials and manufacturer guidelines
- specific protective gear and clothing that technicians should wear when working with the service plug (i.e., type 00 insulating/voltage gloves).
