WARNING
OJKEVQ011046OJKEVQ011046
• When a vehicle accident occurs,
move the vehicle to a safe place, turn
OFF the vehicle and disconnect the
high voltage cut-off switch from the
auxiliary battery (12 V) to prevent
high voltage electricity from flowing.
• If electric wires are exposed from
inside or outside the vehicle, do not
touch the wires.
Also, do not touch the high voltage
electric wire (orange), connector,
and all electric components and
devices. This may cause electric
shock and lead to injuries.
WARNING
• When a vehicle accident occurs and
the high voltage battery is damaged,
harmful gas and electrolytes may
leak. Be careful not to touch the
leaked liquid.
• When you suspect leakage of
inflammable gas and other harmful
gases, open the windows and
evacuate to a safe location. If any
leaked fluid comes in contact with
your eyes or skin, immediately clean
the affected area thoroughly with
tap water or saline solution and
have doctors inspect it as soon as
possible.
WARNING
• If a small scale fire occurs, use a fire
extinguisher (ABC, BC) that is meant
for electrical fires. If it is impossible
to extinguish the fire in the early
stage, maintain a safe distance from
the vehicle and immediately call your
local fire emergency responders.
Also, advise them that an electric
vehicle is involved.
• If the fire spreads to the high
voltage battery, large amount of
water is needed to put out the fire.
Using small amount of water or
fire extinguishers not meant for
electrical fires could cause serious
injury or death from electrical
shocks.
WARNING
If you cannot put out the fire
immediately, the high voltage battery
may explode. Evacuate to a safe place
and do not let other people approach
the site.
Contact the fire department and notify
them of an electric vehicle fire.
• If the vehicle is flooded with water,
immediately turn off the vehicle
and evacuate to a safe place. We
recommend to contact the fire
deprtment or an authorized retailer
of Genesis Branded products.
