Quick Reference Guide
In Case of a Crash
●If a vehicle fire occurs, leaked hydrogen gas may ignite. Stay far away from the vehicle
and call the local fire department.
To extinguish a vehicle fire, use a large amount of water, dry chemical fire extinguisher
(Class A, B, or C), or carbon dioxide fire extinguisher. With an inadequate amount of
water, a fire cannot be put out completely. Never attempt to extinguish a vehicle fire
with a small amount of water.
● If your vehicle needs to be towed, make sure it is done with all the wheels lifted using the
flat bed equipment. If the front wheels are touching the ground, the rotating tires will
force the electric motor to spin, which in turn, may damage the power system,
transmission, etc.
WARNING
If the body of the vehicle is seriously
damaged or deformed in a crash, hydrogen
gas may leak out from the vehicle. Keep
flammable sources, such as a lit cigarette or
warning flares, away from the vehicle. 2If Hydrogen Gas is Leaking (P511)
Also, high voltage parts and/or the cables
(orange) connecting them may be exposed
as a result of a crash. Stay clear of these
parts as you may be electrocuted.
If the vehicle catches fire, leaked hydrogen
gas may ignite. Stay far away from the
vehicle and report to the fire department
that a vehicle containing hydrogen tanks is
on fire.
The system is designed so that in the event
that the vehicle catches fire, the gas inside
the tanks will be released through the tank
valves, thereby ensuring that pressure
within the tanks does not build up. This gas
is released toward the rear of the vehicle in
a downward direction. Do not attempt to
extinguish the fire from behind the vehicle
as the exiting gas may ignite into a flame.
