  • Page 13: Potential Hazards

    Unprotected contact with any electrically charged high-voltage component can cause serious injury or death. Receiving an electric shock from an Acura MDX Sport Hybrid, however, is highly unlikely because of the following: • Contact with the battery module or other high-voltage components can only occur if they are damaged and the contents are exposed or if they are accessed without following proper precautions.

  • Page 14: Emergency Procedures

    Given our knowledge of the Acura MDX Sport Hybrid, we also recommend that responders follow the procedures on the following pages to avoid potentially lethal shock by high voltage.
