Ford Fusion Hybrid 2010 - If the High-Voltage Battery Case Has Been Ruptured; Special Note to Salvage Yards

SPECIAL NOTES
• If the vehicle is on fire, use a Class ABC powder-type extinguisher to contain
and smother the flames. If water is being used, large amounts of water will
be required (e.g., from a fire hydrant) to extinguish the flames.
• If the vehicle has any exposed cables, make sure to wear high-voltage
rubber gloves and other protective clothing. Do not touch any broken or
damaged high-voltage orange cables. Treat severed cables as if they
contain high voltage.
• If the vehicle is submerged in water, do not touch any high-voltage
components or orange cables while extricating the occupant(s). Do not
remove the vehicle until you are sure the high-voltage battery is completely
discharged. A submerged high-voltage battery may produce a fizzing or
bubbling reaction. The high-voltage battery will be discharged when the
fizzing or bubbling has completely stopped.
3. IF THE HIGH-VOLTAGE BATTERY CASE HAS BEEN RUPTURED.
• Just like any other battery, hose the area down with large amounts of water.
4. MOVING DAMAGED VEHICLES — WRECKER DRIVERS.
• Turn the vehicle ignition key to the ACCESSORY position to release
the locking steering wheel.
• If possible, remove the high-voltage service disconnect.
• Follow the guidelines in the Wrecker Towing Manual.
— Front Tow: Wheel Lift (FWD)
— Rear Tow: Wheel Lift with Dolly (FWD)
— Flat bed: Front and Rear
5. SPECIAL NOTE TO SALVAGE YARDS.
• If a vehicle with a high-voltage battery is to be scrapped, the high-voltage
battery must be disposed of following all local, state/provincial and federal
guidelines.
