BEFORE DRIVING THE TUCSON FUEL CELL
The Tucson Fuel Cell vehicle is a unique vehicle that operates using a
fuel cell stack to convert hydrogen and oxygen into electrical energy.
Because of its unique characteristics, the vehicle operation differs slightly
from a conventional vehicle, and taking certain precautions will help to
ensure a safe and enjoyable driving experience. We recommend that you
review the following warning and caution notices before proceeding with
this Quick Reference Guide.
•
Never touch the orange or high voltage labeled components including
wires, cables, and connections. If the insulators or covers are damaged
or removed, severe injury or death from electrocution may occur.
•
The power cell module located in the engine compartment generates
high voltage and distributes the voltage to the electric traction motor and
to various electrical systems. Never touch any of the electrical
components in the engine compartment. Contact with high voltage
electrical components without proper safety equipment can lead to
serious injury or death.
•
Special precaution should be taken to avoid contact with engine
compartment fluids such as the traction motor coolant or the fuel cell
stack coolant. Contact with the skin or eyes may cause severe irritation.
If contact should occur, flush the affected area with water and see a
doctor if necessary.
• The hydrogen storage system is comprised of two separate tanks that
are interconnected and filled with hydrogen gas. The tanks contain
hydrogen gas under high pressure. Serious injury or death can result
from improper installation, lack of maintenance, or over pressurization.
Always have your vehicle serviced by an authorized Hyundai Fuel Cell
dealer.
