Which component is typically part of the high‑voltage safety zone?

• A. Orange high‑voltage cables.
• B. The 12V fuse box.
• C. The cooling fan.
• D. The standard battery.

Answer: (A)

Visual cues mark the high-voltage safety zone, with orange high-voltage cables indicating the live HV circuits that technicians must treat as hazardous and isolate before work. This color coding provides a clear boundary so anyone working around the vehicle knows where extreme caution is needed and that proper de-energization procedures apply. The 12V fuse box is part of the low-voltage side and does not designate the high-voltage area, so it isn’t considered part of the HV safety zone. The cooling fan and the standard battery aren’t defining features of the HV safety boundary either, since they aren’t the markers used to identify the high-voltage area, though their operation can vary by design.
