Inspection Items
Use the following guidelines to check the vehicle for signs that could indicate a
safety hazard.
Fire or Heat Damage
WARNING: When damaged, the battery cells in a high-voltage battery can
heat rapidly. If you see smoke coming from the high-voltage battery, assume
that it is heating and take appropriate action. See In Case of Fire, page 47
.
• Scorched or melted components
• Smoke residue
• Burnt odors
Loss of Battery Integrity
WARNING: Gurgling, bubbling, crackling, hissing, or popping noises heard
from the battery system could indicate overheated battery cells venting, or
arcing within the high-voltage system. Notify the fire department immediately. If
possible, clear the area around the vehicle and open any unlocked doors to avoid
build-up of gases.
• Examine the battery enclosure for cracks, dents, punctures, or ruptures.
• Examine the battery system for loss of mechanical integrity.
Loss of High-Voltage System Integrity
• Inspect the cabling and components of the high-voltage system for damage.
• Visible electric arcing or carbon traces are evidence of electrical isolation loss.
Fluid Leaks
• The high-voltage battery contains lithium-ion cells. Only a small amount of clear
battery fluid can leak from damaged cells.
• Lithium-ion battery electrolyte is clear in color and has a sweet odor. The battery
contains multiple small, sealed modules, so only a minimal amount of fluid would
leak from an individually-ruptured module.
• A coolant is used to cool the high-voltage battery and drive unit. The reservoir is
located under the hood.
• The vehicle uses brake fluid and washer fluid. All reservoirs for these fluids are
under the hood.
