SPECIAL NOTES
• If the vehicle is on fire, use Class ABC powder type extinguisher to contain
and smother the flames. Or, if water is used, large amounts are required (e.g.,
from a fire hydrant).
• If the vehicle has any exposed cables, make sure you are wearing insulated
gloves and other protective clothing. Do not touch any broken or damaged
orange cables. Treat severed lines as if they contain high voltage.
• If the vehicle is submerged in water, do not touch any high voltage
components or cables while extricating the occupant. Do not remove the
vehicle until you are sure the high voltage battery is completely discharged. A
submerged high voltage battery may produce a fizzing or bubbling reaction.
The high voltage battery will be discharged when the fizzing or bubbling has
completely stopped.
3. IF THE HIGH VOLTAGE BATTERY CASE HAS BEEN RUPTURED
• Just like any other battery: hose the area down with large amounts of water.
