1. Submerged Vehicle
If the vehicle is submerged or partially submerged, first pull the vehicle out of the crew and water.
Then shut down the high voltage system.
If the vehicle is submerged, the drive battery may generate flammable hydrogen gas.
If the vehicle is submerged, water may enter the drive battery.
・If water enters the driving battery, hydrogen gas may be generated.
・When seawater enters, a large amount of hydrogen gas is generated by rapid electrolysis due to salinity, which
may cause a fire.
・If you after lift the vehicle, please open the windows and doors as there may be hydrogen gas in the car.
