Foreword / Starting your Electric vehicle
If an Accident Occurs
WARNING
OJWEVQ011021

[When a vehicle accident occurs,
move the vehicle to a safe place,
turn OFF the vehicle and disconnect
the high voltage cut-off switch from
the auxiliary battery (12V) to prevent
high voltage electricity from flowing.

[If electric wires are exposed from
inside or outside the vehicle, do not
touch the wires.
Also, do not touch the high voltage
electric wire (orange), connector,
and all electric components and
devices. This may cause electric
shock and lead to injuries.
WARNING

[When a vehicle accident occurs and
the high voltage battery is damaged,
harmful gas and electrolytes may
leak. Be careful not to touch the
leaked liquid.

[When you suspect leakage of
inflammable gas and other harmful
gases, open the windows and
evacuate to a safe place. If any
leaked fluid comes in contact with
your eyes or skin, immediately clean
the affected area thoroughly with
tap water or saline solution and
have doctors inspect it as soon as
possible.
WARNING

[If a small scale fire occurs, use a fire
extinguisher (ABC, BC) that is meant
for electrical fires. If it is impossible
to extinguish the fire in the early
stage, maintain a safe distance from
the vehicle and immediately call your
local fire emergency responders.
Also, advise them that an electric
vehicle is involved.

[If the fire spreads to the high
voltage battery, large amount of
water is needed to put out the fire.
Using small amount of water or
fire extinguishers not meant for
electrical fires could cause serious
injury or death from electrical
shocks.
WARNING
If you cannot put out the fire
immediately, the high voltage battery
may explode. Evacuate to a safe place
and do not let other people approach
the site.
Contact the fire department and notify
them of an electric vehicle fire.

[If the vehicle is flooded with water,
immediately turn off the vehicle and

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS FOR ELECTRIC VEHICLE

3-2
Safety System
You will find many safety precautions
and recommendations throughout this
section, and throughout this manual.
The safety precautions in this section are
among the most important.
Always Wear Your Seat Belt
A seat belt is your best protection in all
types of accidents. Air bags are designed
to supplement seat belts, not replace
them. So even though your vehicle is
equipped with air bags, ALWAYS make
sure you and your passengers wear your
seat belts, and wear them properly.
Restrain All Children
All children under age 13 should ride
in your vehicle properly restrained in a
rear seat, not the front seat. Infants and
small children should be restrained in
an appropriate Child Restraint System.
Larger children should use a booster
seat with the lap/shoulder belt until they
can use the seat belt properly without a
booster seat.
Air Bag Hazards
While air bags can save lives, they can
also cause serious or fatal injuries to
occupants who sit too close to them, or
who are not properly restrained. Infants,
young children, and short adults are at
the greatest risk of being injured by an
inflating air bag. Follow all instructions
and warnings in this manual.
Driver Distraction
Driver distraction presents a serious and
potentially deadly danger, especially for
inexperienced drivers. Safety should be
the first concern when behind the wheel
and drivers need to be aware of the wide
array of potential distractions, such as
drowsiness, reaching for objects, eating,
personal grooming, other passengers,
and using mobile phones.Drivers can become distracted when
they take their eyes and attention off
the road or their hands off the wheel to
focus on activities other than driving.
To reduce your risk of distraction and an
accident:

[ALWAYS set up your mobile devices
(for example, MP3 players, phones,
navigation units, etc.) when your
vehicle is parked or safely stopped.

[ONLY use your mobile device when
allowed by laws and conditions
permit safe use. NEVER text or email
while driving. Most states have laws
prohibiting drivers from texting. Some
states and cities also prohibit drivers
from using handheld phones.

[NEVER let the use of a mobile device
distract you from driving. You have a
responsibility to your passengers and
others on the road to always drive
safely, with your hands on the wheel
as well as your eyes and attention on
the road.
Control Your Speed
Excessive speed is a major factor in crash
injuries and deaths. Generally, the higher
the speed, the greater the risk, but
serious injuries can also occur at lower
speeds. Never drive faster than is safe
for current conditions, regardless of the
maximum speed posted.
Keep Your Vehicle In Safe
Condition
Having a tire blowout or a mechanical
failure can be extremely hazardous. To
reduce the possibility of such problems,
check your tire pressures and condition
frequently, and perform all regularly
scheduled maintenance.
IMPORTANT SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

Front Seats
The front seat can be adjusted by using
the control switches located on the
outside of the seat cushion. Before
driving, adjust the seat to the proper
position so that you can easily control
the steering wheel, foot pedals and
controls on the instrument panel.
WARNING
Take the following precautions when
adjusting your seat:

[NEVER attempt to adjust the seat
while the vehicle is moving. The seat
could respond with unexpected
movement and may cause loss
of vehicle control resulting in an
accident.

[Do not place anything under the
front seats. Loose objects in the
driver’s foot area could interfere
with the operation of the foot pedals,
causing an accident.

[Do not allow anything to interfere
with the normal position and proper
locking of the seatback.

[Do not place a cigarette lighter on
the floor or seat. When you operate
the seat, gas may exit out of the
lighter causing a fire.

[Use extreme caution when picking
up small objects trapped under the
seats or between the seat and the
center console. Your hands might be
cut or injured by the sharp edges of
the seat mechanism.

[If there are occupants in the rear
seats, be careful while adjusting the
front seat position.

[Make sure that the seat is locked in
place after the adjustment. If not,
the seat might move unexpectedly
resulting in an accident.
CAUTION
To prevent injury:

[Do not adjust your seat while
wearing your seat belt. Moving the
seat cushion forward may cause
strong pressure on your abdomen.

[Do not allow your hands or fingers to
get caught in the seat mechanisms
while the seat is moving.

seat.Those items may get damaged,
when the arm rest is pulled down.
Headrest
The vehicle’s front and rear seats have
adjustable headrests. The headrests
provide comfort for passengers, but
more importantly they are designed to
help protect passengers from whiplash
and other neck and spinal injuries during
an accident, especially in a rear impact
collision.
WARNING
To help reduce the risk of serious
injury or death in an accident, take the
following precautions when adjusting
your headrests:

[Always properly adjust the headrests
for all passengers BEFORE starting
the vehicle.

[NEVER let anyone ride in a seat with
the headrest removed or reversed.
OHI039190N

[Adjust the headrests so the middle of
the headrest is at the same height as
the height of the top of the eyes.

[NEVER adjust the headrest position
of the driver’s seat when the vehicle
is in motion.

[Adjust the headrest as close to the
passenger’s head as possible. Do
not use a seat cushion that holds the
body away from the seatback.

[Make sure the headrest locks into
position after adjusting it.

Safety System
Seat Warmers
Seat warmers are provided to warm the
seats during cold weather.
During mild weather or under conditions
where the operation of the seat warmer
is not needed, keep the seat warmers
OFF.
WARNING
The seat warmers can cause a SERIOUS
BURN, even at low temperatures and
especially if used for long periods of
time.
Passengers must be able to feel if the
seat is becoming too warm so they can
turn it off, if needed.
People who cannot detect temperature
change or pain to the skin should
use extreme caution, especially the
following types of passengers:

[Infants, children, elderly or disabled
persons, or hospital outpatients.

[People with sensitive skin or who
burn easily.

[Fatigued individuals.

[Intoxicated individuals.

[People taking medication that can
cause drowsiness or sleepiness.
WARNING
NEVER place anything on the seat
that insulates against heat when the
seat warmer is in operation, such as a
blanket or seat cushion. This may cause
the seat warmer to overheat, causing a
burn or damage to the seat.
NOTICE
To prevent damage to the seat warmers
and seats:

[Never use a solvent such as paint
thinner, benzene, alcohol or gasoline
to clean the seats.

[Do not place heavy or sharp objects
on seats equipped with seat
warmers.

[Do not change the seat cover. It may
damage the seat warmer.
