Emergency Procedures
Extinguishers
• For small fires where the high voltage battery is not involved, extinguish using an ABC extinguisher
for an electric fire.
• For fires where the high voltage battery is involved or the high voltage battery is heated,
extinguish using large and sustained amount of water to cool the high voltage battery. Do not
extinguish fires with a small amount of water. Firefighters should not hesitate to pour large
amounts of water on the vehicle.
Emergency venting of hydrogen gas
If the temperature near the safety valve located
at the rear under vehicle is over 110°C, caused
by a fire or other reasons, the safety valve will
open to vent hydrogen gas. Venting the
hydrogen gas makes a loud noise because the
venting speed is very fast. Stay far away from
the vehicle. This jet stream of hydrogen gas
could ignite.
