the high voltage battery is dam-
aged in an accident.
When you suspect leakage of inflam-
mable gas and other harmful gases,
open the windows and evacuate to a
safe place. If any leaked fluid comes
in contact with your eyes or skin,
immediately clean the affected area
thoroughly with tap water or saline
solution and have doctors inspect it

• If a vehicle fire occurs, use a
powder extinguisher for an
electric fire. If there is no pow-
der extinguisher for the electric
fire, use plenty of water to put
out the fire. If you do not use
enough water or use an inap-
propriate fire extinguisher, you
might get injured due to electric
shock.
• When a vehicle fire occurs due
to the battery, there is a risk of a
second fire. Contact the fire
department when towing the
vehicle.
