6. In case of fire
6.3 How to deal with the situation
Fire
Extinguish the fire with a large amount of water.
Don’t use seawater or salt water. It can generate toxic vapors
and/or cause reignition.
Damaged
battery or
fluid leak*
Disconnect 12V Battery (-) terminal,
Disable the high voltage system,
Neutralize the battery by applying a large
volume of water. (This does not discharge
the battery.)
*If electrolyte solution leakage, or any damage to the H.V battery casing is observed
Battery
discharging
Use a large volume of water (min 2,650 gallons). The water must cool down the
battery.
If water is put into the high voltage battery casing, it will be better to cool down
the battery (But never attempt to penetrate the HV battery or its casing to apply
water).
Soaking the vehicle in the container filled with water can be an effective way to
extinguish the fire.
