Fire extinguisher

If there is small fire and you know how to use the fire extinguisher, follow these steps carefully:

  1. Pull out the safety pin at the top of the extinguisher.

  2. Aim the nozzle towards the base of the fire.

  3. Stand approximately 8 ft (2.5 m) away from the fire and squeeze the handle to discharge the extinguisher. If you release the handle, the discharge will stop.

  4. Sweep the nozzle back and forth at the base of the fire. After the fire appears to be out, watch carefully since it may re-ignite.

WARNING

  • If an accident occurs, park the vehicle in a safe place. To avoid leakage of electricity in high voltage battery, turn the vehicle off and pull the yellow label in the high voltage battery switch to shut down the high voltage battery. Disconnect the 12V battery cable to shut it down. Be sure to disconnect both (+) cable and (-) cable.

  • Do not touch the exposed electric wires. Do not touch high voltage wires (orange), connectors or other electric components.

  • If an accident occurs, the lethal gas and fluid from a damaged high voltage battery can leak. Be aware not to touch or be exposed to the gas and fluid. When flammable or poison gas leaks inside the vehicle, open windows and evacuate to a safe place. If leaked fluid contacts with your eyes, flush your eyes with clean water. If the fluid contacts your skin, wash it with salt water. Get immediate medical attention.

  • If the vehicle is flooded, immediately turn the vehicle off and evacuate to a safe place. Call the fire authorities.

  • If a fire occurs and spreads to the high voltage battery, a second fire may occur. Be sure that a fire truck accompanies you when the vehicle is being towed.
