Inspection And Maintenance - Mitsubishi XPANDER HEV 2023 Manual

WARNING
 As with any vehicle fire, the byproducts of
combustion can be toxic. Do not inhale
smoke, vapours, 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 drive battery com-
partment, contact emergency services
immediately. This may result in a fire.
 Physical damage to the vehicle or drive
battery may result in immediate or
delayed release of toxic and/or flammable
gases and fire.
 If your vehicle needs to be towed, trans-
port the vehicle on a flatbed truck or tow
the vehicle with front wheels off the
ground. If the front wheels are on the
ground when towing, this may cause dam-
age to the electric motors. This may also
cause a fire, if wiring in the electric motor
unit room becomes damaged.
Refer to "Towing" on page 8-17.
 Do not attempt to repair a damaged
Hybrid vehicle by yourself. Please contact
an authorised MITSUBISHI MOTORS
dealer.
WARNING
 In the event of an accident that requires
body repair and painting, the vehicle
should be delivered to an authorised
MITSUBISHI MOTORS dealer to have
the drive battery and high-voltage parts
such as the inverter, including the
attached wiring harness, removed prior to
painting. If exposed to heat in the paint
booth, the drive battery will experience
battery capacity loss.
A damaged drive battery can also pose
safety risks to untrained mechanics and
repair personnel.
NOTE
 The emergency shut-off system will be acti-
vated and the high-voltage system will auto-
matically turn off under the following
conditions:
• Certain front, side or rear collisions.
• Certain Hybrid EV System malfunctions.
 When the emergency shut-off system is acti-
vated, the READY indicator is turned off.
Refer to "Information screen display list" on
page 5-23.
 If the emergency shut-off system activates,
contact an authorised MITSUBISHI
MOTORS dealer.
