43. Is there a risk of electric shock from the
high-voltage parts in the event of a colli-
sion or accident?
The FCEV is designed to detect impact events during a collision or
accident so that the hydrogen gas supply is immediately cutoff. Also,
the high-voltage relay is activated to cutoff the supply of electric power
to the fuel cell stack and high-voltage battery. Moreover, the FCEV
satisfies international electrical safety standards for collisions and
accidents.
44. Should I take any special safety precau-
tions in the event of a collision or acci-
dent?
Despite the uniqueness of the hydrogen FCEV, you do not have to
take any special safety precautions in the event of a minor collision or
accident. In the event of a minor accident, turn off the vehicle to cutoff
the supply of electric power and hydrogen gas. Also, the FCEV is
equipped with collision sensors at the front and rear of the vehicle so
those sensors are activated during an actual collision to automatically
cutoff the supply of power and hydrogen to ensure driver and passen-
ger safety. For other situations, follow the same procedures as you
would with a standard vehicle. Depending on the severity of the colli-
sion or accident, take appropriate measures.
45. Is a high-voltage battery designed to
ensure occupant safety? Can it explode
from a collision?Our battery packs are designed to prevent any explosion due to
physical impact or damage, and they fully satisfy international safety
standards.
