• If a small scale fire occurs, use a
fire extinguisher (ABC, BC) that is
meant for electrical fires.
If it is impossible to extinguish the
fire in the early stage, remain a
safe distance from the vehicle and
immediately call your local fire
emergency responders. Also, ad‐
vise them that a hybrid vehicle is
involved.
If the fire spreads to the high volt‐
age battery, large amount of wa‐
ter is needed to put out the fire.
Using small amount of water or
fire extinguishers not meant for
electrical fires could cause serious
injury or death from electrical
shocks.
