In case of fire

Fire precautions and procedures
In the event of a vehicle fire, extinguish the fire by spraying large quantities of water to cool the battery. If
it is difficult to discharge large quantities of water, use an ABC fire extinguisher (for both oil and electrical
fires). In case of fire, use an ABC fire extinguisher (for both oil and electrical fires). In the event of fire, the
insulating coating of the electrical wiring burns, causing a short circuit, which in turn blows the fuse in the
power system and interrupts the high voltage. A short circuit can also be caused by leakage of electricity
due to a large amount of water spraying, which may blow the fuses of the power system and interrupt the
high voltage.
The fuses of the power system and the main fuse of the lithium-ion battery can blow, thereby interrupting
the high voltage.
Depending on the location of the fire, high voltage may not be interrupted in some circumstances, e.g. if
the fuse does not blow or if there is no leakage of electricity due to water spray. After extinguishing the fire,
disconnect the high voltage according to 'Methods of shutting down high voltage systems' on page 12.
Note: None of the components used in the high-voltage system of the CR-V FHEV and PHEV are explosive.
