Precautions When Handling The Vehicle After An Accident
- Be sure to wear insulated gloves (or rubber gloves), protective goggles, insulated suite, and insulated boots.
- Do NOT touch bare cable under any condition. (Refer to "PRECAUTIONS TO TAKE WHEN HANDLING POWER CABLE ")
- In case of vehicle fire, put out the fire with ABC extinguisher. Do NOT use water (usage of large volume of water is okay, but small volume can worsen the situation).
- If more than half of the vehicle is submerged, then do NOT go near the Safety Switch or other high voltage related components. If such a component must be accessed, then move the vehicle to the safe location first before handling the component.
- Gas is hydrogen and alkaline vapor. If the leakage is indoor, ventilate the area immediately and evacuate to a safe location.
- If the leaked liquid comes in contact with skin, immediately neutralize the affected area with boric acid solution, then clean with tap water or saline solution.
- Refer to "HIGH VOLTAGE SHUT-OFF PROCEDURES " if the high voltage needs to be cutoff.
