Securing the vehicle
Both the upper and lower battery are filled with silicone fluid, used as a medium for
temperature exchange within the batteries.
On its turn, the coolant of the vehicles heating and cooling system controls the
temperature of this silicon fluid.
The high-voltage batteries can be charged externally by using a plug-in charger.
WARNING! The high-voltage batteries will always carry high voltage
even after completing the emergency high-voltage shut-down
procedure. It takes up to ten minutes before the high voltage has
dropped to a harmless level.
WARNING! This vehicle is also equipped with four high-voltage
battery strings, containing high-voltage components. Exposure to
high voltage can result in serious personal injury or death.
– Never open the high-voltage battery box.
– Never remove or touch any of the orange high-voltage cables
unless the high-voltage circuit is shut down.
WARNING! The battery cells inside the high-voltage battery packs
contain electrolyte.
Although the change of leakage is small, electrolyte is a toxic fluid.
Physical contact can lead to serious health problems.
– If exposed, avoid physical contact with electrolyte.
– If there is contact with the eyes: rinse with plenty of water for at
least 15 minutes and consult a doctor.
– Avoid skin contact. If there is skin contact: wash the skin with water
and soap.
