Securing the vehicle
3.1 EMERGENCY SITUATIONS
General warnings
WARNING! The electric vehicle is equipped with high-voltage
components and wiring. Not following these instructions can result in
severe personal injury or death.
– Always observe the safety instructions in this manual and do not
ignore them.
– Only work on an electric vehicle when the high-voltage circuit is
shut down. See 'Emergency shutdown procedure'.
– Avoid touching the high-voltage components, identifiable by a
warning sticker, before the high-voltage circuit is shut down.
– Avoid touching the orange high-voltage wiring and connectors,
before the high-voltage circuit is shut down.
WARNING! The battery cells inside the high-voltage batteries contain
electrolyte.
Electrolyte is a toxic fluid. Physical contact can lead to serious health
problems.
– Avoid physical contact with electrolyte leaking from the batteries.
– If there is contact with the eyes: rinse with plenty of water for at
least 15 minutes and consult a doctor.
– Avoid skin contact. If there is skin contact: wash the skin with water
and soap.
WARNING! If not wearing protective gear (face protection, breathing
apparatus), stay well clear from the smoke emitted by a damaged or
burning high-voltage battery.
This smoke is extremely harmful when inhaled.
In case of an accident or breakdown
Do's
– Always assume the vehicle is powered up when you approach the electric vehicle.
– In case the electric vehicle is damaged, wear electric insulating gloves until it has
been determined that the high voltage has been shut down.
– Always perform the 'Emergency shutdown procedure' and allow the vehicle to set
for ten minutes before work on the electric vehicle.
NOTE: These ten minutes are needed to avoid contact with possible
residual high voltage.
– Always be aware of a chemical reaction resulting in a fire of the high-voltage
batteries when they are damaged and/or leaking.
In these cases, wear face protection.
