Do not disassemble or brake the battery.
As a result of an accident with serious mechanical damage to the battery, there
could be short circuits within the battery itself and it may be damaged or catch
fire.
In case of an accident leave the vehicle outdoors for about an hour at a safe
distance from any flammable material. With a finger touch the battery briefly and
cautiously. If you sense an unusually high temperature, leave your vehicle where
it is. Do not continue using it for any reason. As soon as the battery has cooled,
take the vehicle to your dealer.
In the presence of flames or smoke rising from the battery, stop the vehicle
immediately. Then turn off the fire with a fire extinguisher, if available. If a fire
extinguisher is not available, wait until the fire has extinguished and all parts of
the vehicle have cooled down. If there is a risk that the fire spreads to nearby
objects, notify the Fire Department.
