In Case Submerged in a
Flood
The extent of damage to a
waterlogged vehicle may not be
obvious. Protective tools must be provided
when handling a waterlogged vehicle,
otherwise, electric shock may cause injury
or death.
• Before touching any high-voltage system
components while the vehicle is
submerged in a water, make sure the
rescue personnel wears the protective
tools to prevent electric shock.
• The high-voltage system of a
waterlogged vehicle must be
disconnected before handling the
vehicle. The vehicle must be completely
dried after it has been removed from the
waterlogged area to prevent injury from
electrical leakage.
Rescuing the Vehicle in
Case of Fire
• In case of fire, do not touch any part of
the vehicle as it is fully energized. It is
necessary to wear personal protective
equipment, including self-contained air
breathing apparatus.
• In case the power battery caught fire,
quickly stay away from the vehicle at a
safe distance. Use plenty of water or a
water-based fire extinguisher to cool the
power battery.
• High-voltage components may be
energized during a fire! Cutting, crushing
or touching high-voltage components
may result in serious personal injury or
death.
• If there are occupants in the vehicle
during rescue efforts, be sure to help
them escape by pulling the door handle
to see if the door can be opened. If the
door cannot be opened, a sharp, hard
object can be used to strike the corners
of the door glass to help the occupants
escape by breaking the window.
• Do not use fire extinguishers containing
electrical substances to extinguish fires,
as this may result in electric shocks or
other accidents.
• High-voltage components on fire must be
extinguished with a water-based fire
extinguisher suitable for lithium battery.
