Maintenance, Repair, and Disposal
Always consult a dealer regarding maintenance, repair, and disposal.
High Voltage batteries that have been removed from disposed vehicles are collected
through a dealer. Do not dispose of these batteries yourself.
In Case of a Crash
●
Be careful of electric shock hazard.
u If a severe crash damaged your vehicle’s High Voltage system, there is a possibility of
electrical shock due to exposed High Voltage components or wires. If this happens, do
not touch any of the High Voltage system components or any of its orange wires.
●
Avoid contact with High Voltage battery fluid.
u The High Voltage battery contains a flammable electrolyte that could leak as a result
of a severe crash. Avoid any skin or eye contact with the electrolyte as it is corrosive.
If you accidentally touch it, flush your eyes or skin with a large quantity of water for at
least five minutes, and seek medical attention immediately.
●
Use a fire extinguisher for an electrical fire.
u Attempting to extinguish an electrical fire with a small quantity of water, from a
garden hose for instance, can be dangerous.
●
Anytime the vehicle is damaged in an accident, have it repaired by a dealer.
Emergency Shutdown System for the High Voltage
System
The emergency shutdown system may activate when the vehicle is impacted by a crash or a
collision. When this system activates, the High Voltage system automatically shuts down,
and your vehicle no longer moves.
To return the High Voltage system to normal operation, consult a dealer.
WARNING
High voltage parts and/or the cables
(orange) connecting them may be exposed
as a result of a crash. Stay clear of these
parts as you may be electrocuted.
If High Voltage battery fluid leaks, be
careful not to touch the fluid. It can harm
your eyes and skin. If it comes in contact
with your eyes and skin; flush the affected
area with clean water immediately for a
few minutes, and seek immediate medical
attention.
