Vehicle Fire Rescue
In case of re, continue to operate the
vehicle as follows according to the actual
situation:
●
Switch the ignition o, and disconnect
the low-voltage battery under the
hood if conditions permit.
●
Locate a dry powder re extinguisher
nearby.
●
If the re is small and slow, use a dry
powder re extinguisher to put out the
re, and call for help immediately.
●
If the re is large and growing quickly,
stay away from the vehicle and wait for
rescue.
CAUTION
●
Wear insulated gloves during
vehicle disassembly. Use re
extinguishers of designated type
to put out a re. Water-based
extinguishers or other wrong-type
re extinguishers may cause
electric shock.
●
In the event of other special
conditions that cause ying
projectiles (such as interior trims
and glass), please stay away from
the vehicle and promptly ask a
BYD authorized dealer or service
provider to go to the site for
handling.
If a Collision Occurs
In the event of a collision, please take the
following actions:
1. Switch the ignition o, and disconnect
the low-voltage battery under the
hood if conditions permit.
2. It is recommended to call immediately
a BYD authorized dealer or service
provider for rescue.
3. Carry out a simple inspection, if
conditions permit: Check whether any
edge of the high-voltage battery tray
is cracked and whether any obvious
liquid ows out.
●
In case of light leaks, avoid potential
sources of re or ammable materials.
Absorb leaks with an absorbent pad,
and place the waste in a closed
container or burn the waste. Wear anti-
corrosion gloves before the operation.
In the event of a severe leak, clean
up any leaked uids and treat them
as hazardous waste. Calcium gluconate
solution can help treat toxic HF gases.
●
If skin comes in contact with leaked
uid, wash it immediately with plenty
of water for 10-15 minutes. If there
is still any discomfort, apply 2.5%
calcium gluconate ointment, or soak
in 2% to 2.5% calcium gluconate
solution. If the condition does not
get better or discomfort persists, seek
medical help immediately.
WARNING
●
Do not touch any spilled liquid,
and stay away from a leaking
vehicle or high-voltage battery.
●
Do not dispose of the leaked uid
into the water or soil or other
environment.
●
The vehicle system operates
with high-voltage DC power. It
generates a lot of heat before and
after vehicle start-up and when
the vehicle is powered o. Watch
out for high pressures and high
temperatures.
●
Do not disassemble, move,
or alter high-voltage battery
