A crash or impact significant enough to
require an emergency response for conven-
tional vehicles would also require the same
response for electric vehicles.
Also follow the instructions described below
to avoid severe burns and electrical shock that
may result in serious injury or death.
10- Quick charge port
In case of a collision
WARNING
If your vehicle is drivable, pull your vehi-
cle off the road to a safe, nearby location
and remain on the scene.
Also, if possible, do the following opera-
tions and stay out of the way of any
oncoming traffic while awaiting the
arrival of emergency responders.
• Apply chocks to the wheels.
• Move the selector lever to the “P”
(PARK) position.
• Apply the parking brake.
• Open the windows, doors and liftgate.
• Turn the electric motor switch to the
“LOCK” position.
• Turn on the hazard warning flashers.
• Move the key away from the vehicle to
prevent unintended start-up of the sys-
tem by inadvertent contact with a switch
or impact from the crash.
Never touch high-voltage wiring, connec-
tors, and other high-voltage parts, such as
the inverter unit and main drive lithium-
ion battery. An electric shock may occur if
exposed electric wires are visible when
viewed from inside or outside of your
vehicle. For their locations, see “High-
voltage components” on page 3-34.
If the vehicle receives a strong impact to
the floor while driving, stop the vehicle in
a safe place and check the floor.
Leaks or damage to the main drive lith-
ium-ion battery may result in a fire. If you
discover them, contact emergency services
immediately. Since the fluid leak may be
lithium manganite from the Lithium-ion
battery, never touch any fluid leaking
from the inside or outside of the vehicle. If
the fluid contacts your skin or eyes, wash
it off immediately with a large amount of
water and receive immediate medical
attention to help avoid serious injury.
If you are unable to safely assess the vehi-
cle due to vehicle damage, do not touch
the vehicle. Leave the vehicle and contact
emergency services. Advise emergency
responders that this is an electric vehicle.
WARNING
If a fire occurs in this vehicle, leave the
vehicle as soon as possible and contact
emergency services. Do not attempt to
extinguish a fire by yourself. If the fire
involves a lithium-ion battery, it will
require large, sustained volumes of water
for extinguishment. Using a small amount
of water or the incorrect fire extinguisher
can result in serious injury or death from
electrical shock.
When you leave the vehicle, if possible,
open the windows, doors and liftgate to
prevent accumulation of poisonous/com-
bustible gasses. This will also assist in the
rescue and fire fighting process.
As with any vehicle fire, the byproducts of
combustion can be toxic. Do not inhale
smoke, vapors, or gas from the vehicle.
Move to a safe distance upwind and uphill
from the vehicle fire and out of the way of
any oncoming traffic while awaiting the
arrival of emergency responders.
If you detect leaking fluids, sparks, smoke,
flames, gurgling, popping or hissing noises
originating from the high voltage battery
compartment, contact emergency services
immediately. This may result in a fire.
Physical damage to the vehicle or high
voltage battery may result in immediate or
delayed release of toxic and/or flammable
gases and fire.
