Question

the electric drive system of a hybrid vehicle contains high voltage that is dangerous to the human body. for example, many hybrids have an hv (high - voltage) battery output voltage of more than 200 vdc. the inverter then converts the dc voltage into around 500 vac or more! therefore you must refer to the manufacturer service information for detailed operation instructions and wear appropriate personal protective equipment when working on hybrid vehicles. basic precautions • always wear hv rated gloves when working around the hv battery. • always disable hv system and wait the required time for the capacitors to drain, before working around any hv cables. • always follow manufacture specific instructions for disabling hv system. • before checking fluids or changing oil on a hybrid, make sure the ready light on the instrument panel is off. if the ready light is on, the engine may start at anytime without notice. • place warning labels and signs around a hv vehicle that has been immobilized for service to warn others of the potential danger. 1 what does it mean when the ready light is illuminated on a hybrid? ready indicates the vehicle is
eady\ for service. ready indicates the vehicle is operational and the engine could start at anytime without warning.

Explanation:

The text states that if the 'READY' light is on, the engine may start at anytime without notice, which means the vehicle is operational. It does not mean the vehicle is ready for service.

Answer:

The 'READY' indicates the vehicle is operational and the engine could start at anytime without warning.
