The battery compartment, rear tub houses major electronic and electrical components. For any emergency
access, do check reference page to identify parts and observe high voltage symbol to take appropriate
precaution while working on the system.
If it is necessary to touch any of these high voltage systems, do wear appropriate personal protective
equipments to isolate and shut off the high voltage system. To avoid any shock / electrocution risk, never
touch with bare hands as the battery pack may maintain charge even when the high voltage system is
isolated. Insulate the high voltage damaged parts to prevent accidental access.
2. FIRE HAZARD:
In the event of 'Fire hazards' to extinguish the fire use large amount of water possibly from hydrants.
Using less water may cause generation of toxic gasses from the chemical reaction of battery pack. In case
of vehicle fire, do contact 'fire department' for immediate support for extinguishing the fire. Shut down the
'High voltage system' by following the safety procedure. In the event of major damages to EV components,
use appropriate PPE's for accessing the 'High voltage components'.
3. WATER SUBMERSION:
In the event of 'Water submersion', to isolate the vehicle:
a) Power switch should be turned off, if possible & then remove the vehicle out of water.
b) Using appropriate PPE, drain water from vehicle.
c) Do not access any vehicle parts when vehicle is submerged in water.
8.0 IDENTIFYING HIGH VOLTAGE SYSTEM STATUS
72V SAFETY MEASURES
The below safety measures are set with 72V system.
1. The 72V positive(+) and negative(-) are insulated from the vehicle chassis.
2. The 72V components are labelled and harnesses are orange colour coded for easy identification to isolate
/ help, protect occupants & emergency responders from any electric shock.
IDENTIFYING 72V SYSTEM IS ON:
1. If the key switch LED is illuminated green then 72V system is active.
2. If the charge indicator on cluster is blinking then 72V system and also 230V AC supply is active.
3. If the HVAC is operating then the 72V system is active.
