Warnings
DANGER
Always assume that HV parts are energized. Always wear the appropriate Personal
Protective Equipment (PPE). Contact with HV current can cause serious injury or death.
Recovery of a submerged vehicle without appropriate PPE can result in serious injury or
death.
Batteries can release ammable or toxic gases if they are damaged. Gases can be ignited
by a spark or heat source. Pressure from expanding gases can build up in battery packs and
cause an explosion. These situations can lead to serious injury or death.
WARNING
Do not use the HV battery to lift the vehicle. The HV battery could become damaged. This
increases the risk of injury.
If the electric vehicle is on re, it can be extinguished with large quantities of water. Use
water from a hydrant or other nearby water sources whenever possible.
Lithium-ion batteries can spontaneously self-ignite. Batteries can reignite after a re has
been suppressed. This can occur several hours after an event that causes damage or as the
result of incorrect use. Always wear the appropriate PPE.
NOTE
PPE must be worn for all practices discussed in this guide. Appropriate PPE is required for
the procedure to disable the HV system. PPE may include rubber gloves, safety glasses,
electrical hazard footwear, earplugs, hardhats and face shields, respirators, or arc-rated
clothing and undergarments.
