COLLISION, DAMAGE OR FIRE
EVENT
Guidance for Ford Motor Company
Electric and Hybrid-Electric Vehicles
Equipped With High Voltage Batteries
(Vehicle Owner/Operator/General Public)
Electric and Hybrid-Electric Vehicle
Considerations
In the event of damage or fire involving an
electric vehicle (EV) or hybrid-electric
vehicle (HEV):
•
Always assume the high-voltage battery
and associated components are
energized and fully charged.
• Exposed electrical components, wires
and high-voltage batteries present
potential high-voltage shock hazards. •
Venting/off-gassing high-voltage battery
vapors are potentially toxic and
flammable.
• Physical damage to the vehicle or
high-voltage battery may result in
immediate or delayed release of toxic,
flammable gases and fire.
Vehicle Information and General Safety
Practices
• Know the make and model of your
vehicle.
• Review the owner’ s manual and become
familiar with your vehicle ’s safety
information and recommended safety
practices.
• Do not attempt to repair damaged
electric and hybrid-electric vehicles
yourself. Contact an authorized Ford
Dealer or vehicle manufacturer
representative for service. Crashes
A crash or impact significant enough to
require an emergency response for
conventional vehicles would also require the
same response for an electric or
hybrid-electric vehicle.
If possible
•
Move your car to a safe, nearby location
and remain on the scene.
• Roll down the windows before shutting
your vehicle off.
• Place your vehicle in Park, set the parking
brake, turn off the vehicle, activate the
hazard lights, and move your key(s) at
least 16 feet (5 meters) away from the
vehicle.
Always
• Call 911 if assistance is needed and
advise that an electric or hybrid-electric
vehicle is involved.
• Do not touch exposed electrical
components or the engine compartment,
as a shock hazard may exist.

GETTING ASSISTANCE OUTSIDE
THE U.S. AND CANADA
Before exporting your vehicle to a foreign
country, contact the appropriate foreign
embassy or consulate. These officials can
inform you of local vehicle registration
regulations and where to find unleaded fuel. If you cannot find unleaded fuel or can only
get fuel with an anti-knock index lower than
is recommended for your vehicle, contact
our Customer Relationship Center.
The use of leaded fuel in your vehicle without
proper conversion may damage the
effectiveness of your emission control system
and may cause engine knocking or serious
engine damage. Ford Motor Company or
Ford of Canada is not responsible for any
damage caused by use of improper fuel.
Using leaded fuel may also result in difficulty
importing your vehicle back into the United
States.

What to do when a Tire Is Punctured
A tire puncture within the tire's tread area
can be repaired in two stages with the kit:
•
In the first stage, the tire will be reinflated
with a sealing compound and air. After
the tire has been inflated, you will need
to drive the vehicle about 3.7 mi (6 km)
to distribute the sealant in the tire.
• In the second stage, you will need to
check the tire pressure and adjust, if
necessary, to the vehicle's specified tire
inflation pressure.
First Stage: Reinflating the Tire with
Sealing Compound and Air WARNING
Do not stand directly beside the tire
while the compressor is operating. This
could cause personal injury if the tire bursts. Note:
If the tire does not inflate to the
recommended tire pressure within 15
minutes, stop and call roadside assistance. WARNINGS
Watch the sidewall of the tire when
inflating. If any cracks, bumps or similar
damage appears, switch the compressor off
and let the air out by means of the pressure
relief valve. Do not continue driving with this
tire. This could cause loss of vehicle control. Do not run the engine when operating
the air compressor unless the vehicle
is outdoors or in a well-ventilated area. Preparation: Park the vehicle in a safe, level
and secure area, away from moving traffic.
Turn the hazard lights on. Apply the parking
brake and turn the engine off. Inspect the
flat tire for visible damage.
Sealant compound contains latex. Use
appropriate precautions to avoid any allergic
reactions.
Do not remove any foreign object that has
pierced the tire. If a puncture is located in
the tire sidewall, stop and call roadside
assistance.
1.
Remove the valve cap from the tire valve. 2. Unwrap the dual purpose hose (black
tube) from the back of the compressor
housing.
3. Fasten the hose to the tire valve by turning the connector clockwise. Tighten
the connection securely.
