m2 dm 15.04.002

If the HEV becomes involved in an accident or fire, be aware of the following:

  • Use CO2 or dry chemical extinguishers. The batteries in the PEC are lithium ion.

  • Do not cut into high-voltage cables. The high-voltage wiring is covered in orange insulation or convoluted tubing.

  • Do not cut into or open the PEC.

  • Do not cut into or open the DC/DC converter.

  • Do not cut into or open the inverter.

If it is necessary to remove occupants using cutting equipment, avoid high-voltage cables and the PEC.
