When  an airbag sensor detects a strong impact, an ignition signal is sent to an inflater. When the inflater is ignited, gas is generated to inflate a bag, reducing the impact to an occupant. 8 Components Requiring Special Attention Emergency Response Key Points Damaged Vehicle Handling Key Points SRS Airbags The  SRS may remain powered for up to 90 seconds after the vehicle is shut off and disabled (see page 72). Wait at least 90 seconds before starting any operation. Failure to shut off and disable the vehicle before emergency response procedures are performed may result in serious injury or death from unintentional deployment of the SRS. Depending  on the circumstances surrounding a collision, such as vehicle speed, point of impact, occupant detection etc., airbags will not always be deployed. If an inflater of the undeployed SRS airbag is breached, the powder inside the inflater may ignite resulting in unintentional SRS airbag deployment. To prevent serious injury or death from unintentional SRS deployment, avoid breaching the inflaters. Immediately  after an SRS airbag is deployed, the components are extremely hot and may cause burns if touched. If  an SRS airbag deploys with all doors and windows closed, inflation gas may cause breathing difficulty.

All other automotive electrical Coolant Heater Plug‑in Charging System Plug-in  Hybrid Vehicles (PHV) and Electric Vehicles (EV) are equipped with a plug-in charging system in order to charge the high voltage battery from an external power source. The  plug‑in charging system is mainly comprised of an onboard charger and charging inlet. The  onboard charger converts the AC supplied from an external power source to DC, boosts it, and then uses it to charge the high voltage battery. The  charger inlet receives the charge to the high voltage battery from an external power source. Also, some electric vehicles have a separate fast charging inlet which can be used at fast chargers (DC 500 V). The  orange power cables are connected to the charging inlet, which is supplied high voltage during charging. 32 Components Requiring Special Attention Emergency Response Key Points Damaged Vehicle Handling Key Points High Voltage System Charging Inlet Fast Charging Inlet Charging Inlet Onboard Charger Onboard Charger High Voltage Power Cable Onboard Charger High Voltage Power Cable Charging Inlet Charging Inlet High Voltage Power Cable Onboard Charger High Voltage Power Cable To  prevent serious injury or death from severe burns or electric shock, shut off the utility circuit supplying power to the charge cable before disconnecting it if the vehicle, charge cable or charger is submerged in water. 33 Components Requiring Special Attention Emergency Response Key Points Damaged Vehicle Handling Key Points High Voltage System Some  plug‑in hybrid vehicles and electric vehicles have a connector locking system.

In order to drive the motor, a high voltage (over 200 V, up to 650 V) is used. Not having an engine, the vehicle uses a motor driven by the power generated by a chemical reaction between the hydrogen fuel and oxygen in the air. Fuel  Cell Vehicles (FCV) are equipped with dedicated high voltage components such as an FC stack, hydrogen pump, FC water pump, FC water pump and hydrogen pump inverter, FC boost converter and FC air compressor. To  use hydrogen for power generation, Fuel Cell Vehicles (FCV) are equipped with hydrogen pipes and hydrogen‑related parts such as an FC stack, hydrogen tanks, etc. The  hydrogen tanks are filled with high pressure hydrogen gas (a maximum of 70 MPa (714 kgf/cm2, 10,153 psi) at 15°C (59°F)). The  hydrogen‑related parts are inside cases/covers. Also, some of the insulation on high pressure hydrogen pipes is red. Hydrogen  gas is colourless, odourless, and harmless. Hydrogen  gas is flammable, and can ignite in a wide range of concentrations (4 to 74.5%). However, it diffuses easily and tends not to accumulate, so a small leak would quickly dissipate to a concentration that cannot ignite. In  the case of hydrogen leakage, the hydrogen detector equipped on the vehicle detects the hydrogen leak and shuts off the supply of hydrogen by means of solenoid valves on the tank to prevent a mass leak. Also, hydrogen related parts are located outside the cabin to allow leaked hydrogen to be easily diffused. If  a collision is detected, the supply of hydrogen is shut off to prevent a mass leak due to vehicle damage. For  details about the installation locations of hydrogen-related parts, refer to the QRS (Quick Reference Sheet) for the vehicle. If  the sound of hydrogen leaking (a loud hissing sound) can be heard when working on the vehicle, or if the hydrogen concentration around the vehicle exceeds 4% when measured with a hydrogen concentration detector, immediately step away from the vehicle as there is a chance the hydrogen gas may ignite. Even  after the vehicle is stopped (see page 72), hydrogen remains inside the FC stack, hydrogen tanks and other hydrogen‑related parts, as well as inside the hydrogen pipe. In order to avoid fires and explosions, never cut or damage these hydrogen‑related parts or the hydrogen pipe. When  the person(s) in charge of handling the damaged vehicle are away from the vehicle and someone else accidentally approaches or touches the vehicle, death or serious injury may occur due to electrocution, a rupture, an explosion or fire. To avoid this danger, display 'HIGH VOLTAGE DO NOT TOUCH' and 'HIGH PRESSURE GAS DO NOT TOUCH' signs to warn others (print and use pages 25 and 36 of this guide). 35 Components Requiring Special Attention Emergency Response Key Points Damaged Vehicle Handling Key Points Fuel Cell (FC) System All other automotive electrical 36 Components Requiring Special Attention Emergency Response Key Points Damaged Vehicle Handling Key Points Fuel Cell (FC) System FC Stack The  FC stack is a device to generate electricity through the chemical reaction between hydrogen and oxygen. Using the hydrogen supplied by the hydrogen tank and oxygen in the air drawn in from outside the vehicle, a high voltage of 200 V or higher is generated. The  FC stack is installed underneath the floor. The  FC stack generates power using so called 'cells', which are comprised of an electrolyte membrane sandwiched by separators. A few hundred cells are connected in a row to generate a high voltage. The  cells are contained inside a metal case so they are not easily touched. Water  is generated through the chemical reaction between hydrogen and oxygen during power generation, and discharged via the discharge outlet.

The  hydrogen tanks are made of carbon fibre-reinforced plastic and located underneath the floor. All other automotive electrical The  hydrogen detector used to detect hydrogen leaks is located near the tanks. If a specified concentration of hydrogen leakage is detected, the FC system cuts off the supply of hydrogen. Each  tank is equipped with a Thermal Pressure Relief Device (TPRD) in order to prevent an explosion when the temperature of the hydrogen reaches abnormal levels due to a vehicle fire. The pressure relief device will open at approximately 110°C (230°F) to release the hydrogen gas in the tank outside of the vehicle.

The  urea solution is stored in the urea tank installed below the floor, etc. The  urea solution is a colourless, odourless and harmless liquid. However, when the temperature All other automotive electrical is high, such as in the summer, there is a possibility that an irritating odour is produced by the thermolysis of urea solution. The  urea solution is non-combustible. However, if the urea solution is heated due to a fire, etc., it breaks down and may emit a harmful gas. Urea Tank If  you come in contact with smoke or vapour from a burning urea tank, it may irritate the eyes, nose or throat. To avoid injury by coming in contact with the smoke or vapour from a burning urea tank, wear appropriate protective equipment such as rubber gloves, safety goggles, a protective mask or SCBA when there is a risk of contacting the smoke or vapour. 44 Components Requiring Special Attention Emergency Response Key Points Damaged Vehicle Handling Key Points High Intensity Discharge (HID) Headlights Headlights  use High Intensity Discharge (HID) bulbs, which emit light by creating an electric discharge between electrodes inside the bulbs. When  the HID headlights are turned on, high voltage of approximately 20,000 to 30,000 V is generated instantaneously. During illumination, the voltage from the 12 V battery is boosted to a maximum of 45 V in the electric circuit of the discharge headlights to drive the discharge headlights. Discharge Headlights To  prevent serious injury or death from electric shock, avoid touching, cutting, or breaching the bulb, socket, electric circuit and components of the headlights. To  prevent burns, avoid touching the metal parts on the back of the headlights and the high‑voltage sockets while the discharge headlights are turned on or immediately after they are turned off. 45 Components Requiring Special Attention Emergency Response Key Points Damaged Vehicle Handling Key Points Electric Power Steering (EPS) The  Electric Power Steering (EPS) system uses 12 V voltage which has been boosted to up to 46 V by the EPS ECU to drive an EPS assist motor.

This electricity is used to power an electric fan which ventilates the cabin while the vehicle is parked in the hot sun. Solar Panels Solar Panels The  solar panels generate electricity with even a small amount of sunlight. To stop generation of electricity, cover the solar panels completely with a material that will block sunlight. 47 Components Requiring Special Attention Emergency Response Key Points Damaged Vehicle Handling Key Points Solar Charging System The  solar charging system uses a solar roof with an integrated solar cell to generate photovoltaic power which is then used to charge the high voltage battery according to the vehicle condition while parked and to compensate for the consumption of the 12 V battery system while the vehicle is being driven. In addition, the solar charging system charges and discharges the solar battery during this process. The  solar charging system consists of a solar roof, a solar battery, a solar energy control unit, a All other automotive electrical high voltage battery and a 12 V battery. The  orange high voltage power cable is connected between the solar energy control unit and high voltage battery. High voltage is applied when the high voltage battery is charging. The  solar energy control unit has 3 built‑in DC‑DC converters: for the high voltage battery, solar battery and auxiliary system. An  Ni-MH battery is used for the solar battery. 1. The Ni-MH battery consists of 3 modules, each consisting of six 1.2 V cells, connected in series to obtain 21.6 V. 2. The Ni-MH battery contains a strong alkaline electrolyte (pH 13.5). The electrolyte, however, is absorbed in the cell plates and will not normally spill or leak out even if a battery module is cracked. 3. Electrolyte leakage from the solar battery is unlikely due to its construction and the amount of available electrolyte contained within the Ni-MH modules. Any spillage would not warrant a declaration as a hazardous material incident. The  high voltage battery is not charged except for when the power switch is off. Depending  on conditions such as solar radiation and temperature, the solar roof can reach a maximum voltage of approximately 50 V. Refer  to the QRS for each model for the locations of the high voltage electrical components.

To  prevent serious injury or death from severe burns or electric shock, avoid touching, cutting, or breaching any orange high voltage power cable or high voltage component. Wear appropriate protective equipment such as insulated gloves when there is a risk of touching high voltage power cables or high voltage components. Vehicle with Hydrogen Gas Fuel  Cell Vehicles (FCV) carry compressed hydrogen gas. Before performing the normal procedures to immobilise the vehicle, follow the steps below first. Hydrogen  gas is colourless, odourless and flammable. Compared  to petrol or natural gas, hydrogen gas can ignite in a wide range of concentrations (4 to 74.5%). If the sound of hydrogen leaking (a loud hissing sound) can be heard when working on the vehicle, or if the hydrogen concentration around the vehicle exceeds 4% when measured with a hydrogen concentration detector, immediately step away from the vehicle as there is a chance the hydrogen gas may ignite. Depending  on the model, multiple hydrogen tanks may be installed. For the detailed installation locations of hydrogen tanks for each model, refer to the Quick Reference Sheet (QRS) for each model. 1. Confirm there is no sound of hydrogen leakage (a loud hissing sound). When  approaching the vehicle, approach from the front. If  the sound of leakage can be heard, immediately step away from the vehicle, as the hydrogen may ignite. Confirm  the sound of leakage is no longer present before proceeding to the next procedure. 2. Using a hydrogen concentration detector, measure the hydrogen concentration around the vehicle, and confirm that it does not exceed 4%. If  the concentration exceeds 4%, immediately step away from the vehicle, as the hydrogen may ignite. If  a ventilator is available, fanning the area can reduce the hydrogen concentration. Blow the fan from the front toward the rear of the vehicle. When approaching the vehicle, approach from the direction where the wind is coming from. 70 Components Requiring Special Attention Emergency Response Key Points Damaged Vehicle Handling Key Points Immobilise Vehicle Measure  the hydrogen concentration at regular intervals and confirm the hydrogen concentration does not exceed 4% before proceeding to the next step. 3.

The high voltage system may remain powered for up to 10 minutes after the vehicle is shut off and disabled (see page 72). Failure to shut off and disable the vehicle before emergency response procedures are performed may result in serious injury or death from severe burns and electric shock from the high voltage electrical system. To prevent serious injury or death from severe burns or electric shock, avoid touching, cutting, or breaching any orange high voltage power cable or high voltage component. Wear appropriate protective equipment such as insulated gloves when there is a risk of touching high voltage power cables or high voltage components. NEVER assume the Hybrid vehicle (HV), Plug-in Hybrid Vehicle (PHV) or Electric Vehicle (EV) is shut off simply because it is silent. Always observe the instrument cluster for the READY indicator status to verify whether the high voltage system is on or shut off. The high voltage system is shut off when the READY indicator is off. When the vehicle is equipped with a remote air conditioning system and the meters are illuminated, high voltage may be applied to the air conditioning system even though the READY indicator is off. Shut off and disable vehicle and ensure the meters are turned off. Vehicle with Plug-in Charge System Plug-in  Hybrid Vehicles (PHV) and Electric Vehicles (EV) are equipped with a system to charge the high voltage battery using power from an external power source. If  a charge cable is connected to the charging inlet of the vehicle, disconnect the charge cable as follows to stop charging. 76 Components Requiring Special Attention Emergency Response Key Points Damaged Vehicle Handling Key Points Disable Vehicle 1. Push the latch release button on the top of the charge cable connector and pull it away from the charging inlet of the vehicle. Some  plug-in hybrid vehicles and electric vehicles have a connector locking system. The charging connector is unlocked by pressing the charging connector lock switch after unlocking the doors. If  the lock of the charge cable assembly connector cannot be released, turn OFF or unplug the external charger, or turn its main breaker OFF. The  lock of the charge cable assembly connector cannot be released during fast charging. If charging does not stop even when the charger is turned OFF, turn its main breaker OFF. 2. Close the charging inlet cap and charging port lid. 3. Turn off the external charger by unplugging it or turning its main circuit breaker off. To  prevent serious injury or death from severe burns or electric shock, shut off the utility circuit supplying power to the charge cable before disconnecting it if the vehicle, charge cable or external charger is submerged in water. 77 Components Requiring Special Attention Emergency Response Key Points Damaged Vehicle Handling Key Points Disable Vehicle Vehicle with Hydrogen Gas Fuel  Cell Vehicles (FCV) carry compressed hydrogen gas. In order to abort refuelling, follow the steps below. 1. Operate the hydrogen station to abort refuelling. Hydrogen  inside the hose will de-pressurise and the filling nozzle can now be removed. 2. Remove the filling nozzle of the hydrogen station from the refuelling port (receptacle). 3. Put the cap on the refuelling port (receptacle). 3. Close the fuel door. For  Fuel Cell Vehicles (FCV), even if the READY indicator turns off, the high voltage system may still be active if the H2O indicator in the combination meter is illuminated. Shut off and disable the vehicle and ensure the meters are turned off. 78 Components Requiring Special Attention Emergency Response Key Points Damaged Vehicle Handling Key Points Stabilise Vehicle Chock  at four points directly under the front and rear pillars using wooden blocks or equivalent objects. Do  not place chocks such as wooden blocks or rescue air lifting bags under the exhaust system, fuel system or high voltage power cables. Failure to do so may cause heat generation, bursting of the air lifting bags, damage to the high voltage power cables or damage to the hydrogen piping, resulting in a vehicle fire, crushing accident, electrical shock or gas leak, possibly leading to serious injury or death. 79 Components Requiring Special Attention Emergency Response Key Points Damaged Vehicle Handling Key Points Access Patients Make  sure the vehicle is immobilised and disabled (see page 72), then open or remove windows and doors to access patients. Secure  the necessary space for performing operations by adjusting the position of the steering wheel and seats and removing the head rests. Refer  to 'Components Requiring Special Attention' for details of adjustment and removal of components. The  SRS, seatbelt pretensioners, pop up hood and active headrests may remain powered for up to 90 seconds after the vehicle is shut off and disabled (see page 72). Wait at least 90 seconds before starting any operation. Failure to shut off and disable the vehicle before emergency response procedures are performed may result in serious injury or death from unintentional deployment of the SRS airbags or unintentional actuation of the seatbelt pretensioners, pop up hood or active headrests. Depending  on the circumstances surrounding a collision, such as vehicle speed, point of impact, occupant detection, etc., the SRS airbags, seatbelt pretensioners, pop up hood or active headrests will not always be activated and may remain active. If an unactivated inflater of these systems is cut, the powder inside the inflater may ignite resulting in airbag deployment. To prevent serious injury or death from unintentional SRS deployment or unintentional actuation of the seatbelt pretensioners, pop up hood or active headrests, avoid breaching the inflaters. Immediately  after an SRS airbag is deployed or a seatbelt pretensioner, the pop up hood or an active headrest is actuated, the components are extremely hot and may cause burns if touched. If  an SRS airbag deploys with all doors and windows closed, inflation gas may cause breathing difficulty. If  residue that is produced during the operation of SRS airbags, seatbelt pretensioners, pop up hood or active headrests comes in contact with skin, rinse it off immediately to prevent skin irritation. Vehicle with High Voltage Battery Hybrid  Vehicles (HV), Plug-in Hybrid Vehicles (PHV), Electric Vehicles (EV) and Fuel Cell Vehicles (FCV) are equipped with a high voltage electrical system (over 144 V, up to 650 V). The  high voltage system may remain powered for up to 10 minutes after the vehicle is shut off and disabled (see page 72). Failure to shut off and disable the vehicle before emergency response procedures are performed may result in serious injury or death from severe burns and electric shock from the high voltage electrical system. To  prevent serious injury or death from severe burns or electric shock, avoid touching, cutting, or breaching any orange high voltage power cable or high voltage component. Wear appropriate protective equipment such as insulated gloves when there is a risk of touching high voltage power cables or high voltage components. 80 Components Requiring Special Attention Emergency Response Key Points Damaged Vehicle Handling Key Points Access Patients Vehicle with Hydrogen Gas Fuel  Cell Vehicles (FCV) carry compressed hydrogen gas. Hydrogen  gas is colourless, odourless and flammable. Compared  to petrol or natural gas, hydrogen gas can ignite in a wide range of concentrations (4 to 74.5%). If the sound of hydrogen leaking (a loud hissing sound) can be heard when working on the vehicle, or if the hydrogen concentration around the vehicle exceeds 4% when measured with a hydrogen concentration detector, immediately step away from the vehicle as there is a chance the hydrogen gas may ignite. Even  after the vehicle is stopped (see page 72), hydrogen remains inside the FC stack, hydrogen tanks and other hydrogen-related parts, as well as inside the hydrogen pipe. In order to avoid fires and explosions, never cut or damage these hydrogen-related parts or the hydrogen pipe. If  there is any hydrogen leakage, do not use any electrical or rescue equipment that may produce static electricity, as this may ignite the hydrogen. 81 Components Requiring Special Attention Emergency Response Key Points Damaged Vehicle Handling Key Points Access Patients Cut Vehicle Pay  special attention to the location of structural reinforcements, fuel system, SRS and high voltage electrical system components when cutting a vehicle. Refer  to the Quick Reference Sheet (QRS) for each model for model specific information such as component locations, etc. Structural Reinforcements High Voltage Electrical System Components High Voltage Electrical System Components SRS Components Fuel System Components To  prevent serious injury from a fire caused by sparks, use a hydraulic cutter or other tools that do not generate sparks when cutting the vehicle. If  the SRS airbag, seatbelt pretensioner, pop up hood or active headrest has already been activated, the inflater can be cut. 82 Components Requiring Special Attention Emergency Response Key Points Damaged Vehicle Handling Key Points Fire During  the initial attack on a fire, extinguish the fire with copious amounts of water. This will also cool down the vehicle. Plastic  and other components will generate toxic gases when they melt. Wear appropriate protective equipment such as a protective mask when extinguishing a fire. Fire Extinguisher Water  has been proven to be a suitable extinguishing agent. Also  use a fire extinguisher suitable for flammable liquid fires (burning of petrol, grease, oil, etc.) and electrical fires (burning of electrical wiring, electric devices, etc.) as well as general fires (burning of solid objects, etc.). Vehicle with High Voltage Battery Hybrid  Vehicles (HV), Plug-in Hybrid Vehicles (PHV) and Electric Vehicles (EV) are equipped with a high voltage battery. Extinguish  the fire with copious amounts of water to cool down the high voltage battery. Refer  to the Quick Reference Sheet (QRS) for each model for the high voltage battery location. To  avoid serious injury or death from severe burns or electric shock, never breach or remove the high voltage battery assembly cover under any circumstances, including fire. If  only a small amount of water is used to extinguish a fire, a short circuit may occur in the high voltage battery, causing the fire to reignite. It  is recommended to allow the high voltage battery to burn itself out if it is judged that it is difficult to apply copious amounts of water to the high voltage battery. Vehicle with Lithium ion (Li-ion) Battery Burning  Li-ion batteries may irritate the eyes, nose, and throat. Contact with the vapour produced by the electrolyte may also irritate the nose and throat. To avoid injury by coming in contact with the electrolyte or vapour, wear appropriate protective equipment such as rubber gloves, safety goggles, protective mask or SCBA when there is a risk of touching electrolyte. 83 Components Requiring Special Attention Emergency Response Key Points Damaged Vehicle Handling Key Points Fire Vehicle with Urea Solution Urea  solution equipped vehicles have a urea tank that stores urea solution. The  urea solution is non-combustible. However, if the urea solution is heated due to a fire, etc., it breaks down and may emit a harmful gas. If you come in contact with smoke or vapour from a burning urea tank, it may irritate the eyes, nose or throat. To  avoid injury by coming in contact with the smoke or vapour from a burning urea tank, wear appropriate protective equipment such as rubber gloves, safety goggles, a protective mask or SCBA when there is a risk of contacting the smoke or vapour. Vehicle with Hydrogen Gas Fuel  Cell Vehicles (FCV) carry compressed hydrogen gas. When  dousing the vehicle, keep a distance of at least 10.0 meters (32.8 feet) in case of hydrogen igniting. Use  larger amounts of water particularly on the vehicle's rear underfloor to cool the area where the hydrogen tanks are located. If  the hydrogen is on fire, extinguishing the hydrogen flame completely could cause unburned hydrogen to accumulate and lead to a secondary explosion. Therefore, spray water to prevent the flame from spreading to surrounding areas, then wait for the hydrogen flame to naturally die down (burn itself out). In  order to prevent an explosion when the temperature of the hydrogen reaches abnormal levels in the case of a vehicle fire, the thermal pressure relief devices (TPRD) installed on the hydrogen tanks open when they exceed approximately 110°C (230°F), and the hydrogen inside the tank is released outside of the vehicle. A  pure hydrogen fire is colourless and is not visible. However, in a vehicle fire, other flammable materials will also burn, allowing the fire to be visible. 84 Components Requiring Special Attention Emergency Response Key Points Damaged Vehicle Handling Key Points Fire The  temperature of a hydrogen fire itself is very high, but the amount of heat that radiates from the flame is small. It is unique in that it is difficult to feel the heat even in close proximity. Hydrogen Tank Thermal Pressure Relief Device (TPRD) Front of vehicle Jet Angle Tank Valve Hydrogen  gas is colourless, odourless and flammable. Compared  to petrol or natural gas, hydrogen gas can ignite in a wide range of concentrations (4 to 74.5%). If the sound of hydrogen leaking (a loud hissing sound) can be heard when working on the vehicle, or if the hydrogen concentration around the vehicle exceeds 4% when measured with a hydrogen concentration detector, immediately step away from the vehicle as there is a chance the hydrogen gas may ignite. Depending  on the model, multiple hydrogen tanks may be installed. For the detailed installation locations of hydrogen tanks for each model, refer to the Quick Reference Sheet (QRS) for each model. 85 Components Requiring Special Attention Emergency Response Key Points Damaged Vehicle Handling Key Points Submersion Pull  the vehicle out of water as much as possible. Immobilise the vehicle (see page 68) and disable the vehicle (see page 72) before starting any operation. A  short circuit due to electrical corrosion (wiring and circuit boards become corroded due to an electrochemical reaction with water) may cause a vehicle fire after some time has elapsed. To  prevent a vehicle fire, avoid turning the ignition switch or engine/power switch of a submerged vehicle to ACC or ON. Vehicle with High Voltage Battery A  partially or fully submerged Hybrid vehicle (HV), Plug-in Hybrid Vehicles (PHV) or Electric Vehicle (EV) or Fuel Cell Vehicle (FCV) does not have high voltage potential on the metal vehicle body, and is safe to touch. It  is safe to enter the water as the vehicle and water have the same electrical potential. Touching  exposed orange high voltage power cables or high voltage components such as the high voltage battery may cause electrical shock due to a change in electrical potential. To  prevent serious injury or death from severe burns or electric shock, avoid touching, cutting, or breaching any orange high voltage power cable or high voltage component. Wear appropriate protective equipment such as insulated gloves when there is a risk of touching high voltage power cables or a high voltage components. 86 Components Requiring Special Attention Emergency Response Key Points Damaged Vehicle Handling Key Points Spills Vehicles  contain various fluids such as petrol, coolant, engine oil, transmission oil, brake fluid, power steering fluid, window washer fluid and 12 V battery electrolyte. Coolant Long  Life Coolant (LLC) that is used to cool the engine and inverter contains ethylene glycol for freezing temperature control and anti-corrosion additives for preventing metal components from corroding. Lubrication Oil Engine  oil, transmission oil and gear oil are used for lubrication and contain mineral oils and synthetic oils. Brake Fluid Brake  fluid contains several types of glycol-ether and anti-corrosion additives for preventing metal components from corroding. Brake  fluid contains ingredients that damage painted surfaces. If any comes in contact with the vehicle body, the paint may come off. Power Steering Fluid Power  steering fluid contain mineral oils and synthetic oils. Window Washer Fluid Window  washer fluid contains alcohol for freezing temperature control. 12 V Battery Electrolyte 12  V battery electrolyte contains dilute sulphuric acid. Dilute  sulphuric acid may cause irritation of the skin if contacted. Wear appropriate protective equipment such as rubber gloves and safety goggles when there is a risk of touching electrolyte. 12  V battery electrolyte contains ingredients that damage painted surfaces. If any comes in contact with the vehicle body, discolouration or other damage may occur. 87 Components Requiring Special Attention Emergency Response Key Points Damaged Vehicle Handling Key Points Spills Sub-battery Electrolyte A  strong alkaline (pH 13.5) potassium hydroxide water solution is used as the sub-battery electrolyte. The electrolyte is soaked into non-woven fabric. However, if the sub-battery is damaged in any way, it may leak. Strong  alkaline (pH 13.5) potassium hydroxide water solution is harmful to the human body. In cases where touching the electrolyte is unavoidable or there is a danger of it being touched, perform work wearing appropriate protective equipment such as rubber gloves and protective glasses. Vehicle with High Voltage Battery There  are two types of high voltage battery; nickel-metal hydride type and lithium ion type. 1. Nickel-metal hydride (Ni-MH) battery - The Ni-MH battery contains a strong alkaline electrolyte (pH 13.5) The electrolyte is absorbed in the cell plates, but it may leak in case of damage to the high voltage battery. However, it would not be a large amount. - Electrolyte leakage from the HV battery pack is unlikely considering the battery construction and the amount of electrolyte inside the module. - Any spillage would not warrant a declaration as a hazardous material incident. Strong  alkaline electrolyte (pH 13.5) is harmful to the human body. To avoid injury by coming in contact with the electrolyte, wear appropriate protective equipment such as rubber gloves and safety goggles when there is a risk of touching electrolyte. 2. Lithium ion (Li-ion) battery - The Li-ion battery electrolyte, mainly consisted of carbonate ester, is a flammable organic electrolyte. The electrolyte is absorbed into the electrodes and the separators. It may leak in case of damages to the high voltage battery, but it would not be a large amount. - Electrolyte will quickly evaporate if leaked from the battery cell. The  flammable organic electrolyte which primarily contains carbonate ester is harmful to the human body. In case of contact with the electrolyte, it may irritate the eyes, nose, throat and skin. In case of contact with the smoke or vapour from leaked electrolyte or a burning battery, it may irritate the eyes, nose or throat. To avoid injury caused by coming in contact with the electrolyte or the vapour, wear appropriate protective equipment such as rubber gloves, safety goggles, protective mask or SCBA when there is a risk of touching electrolyte. If  the electrolyte is spilled, keep it away from fire and ensure the area is well ventilated. Absorb the electrolyte with a piece of cloth or equivalent absorbent material, and keep it in an airtight container for proper disposal. 88 Components Requiring Special Attention Emergency Response Key Points Damaged Vehicle Handling Key Points Spills Vehicle with Solar Battery A  strong alkaline (pH 13.5) potassium hydroxide water solution is used as the solar battery electrolyte. The electrolyte is soaked into non-woven fabric. However, if the solar battery is damaged in any way, it may leak. However, there is no risk of a mass leak. Electrolyte  leakage from the solar battery is unlikely due to its construction and the amount of available electrolyte contained within the Ni-MH modules. Any spillage would not warrant a declaration as a hazardous material incident. Strong  alkaline electrolyte (pH 13.5) is harmful to the human body. To avoid injury by coming in contact with the electrolyte, wear appropriate protective equipment such as rubber gloves and safety goggles when there is a risk of touching electrolyte. Vehicle with Urea Solution Urea  solution equipped vehicles have a urea tank that stores urea solution. The  urea solution is a harmless non-combustible liquid. However, if the urea solution is heated due to a fire, etc., it breaks down and may emit a harmful gas. If  you come in contact with smoke or vapour from a burning urea tank, it may irritate the eyes, nose or throat. To avoid injury by coming in contact with the smoke or vapour from a burning urea tank, wear appropriate protective equipment such as rubber gloves, safety goggles, a protective mask or SCBA when there is a risk of contacting the smoke or vapour. Vehicle with Hydrogen Gas The  FC stack coolant used to cool the FC stack, etc. is colourless and transparent and contains ethylene glycol in order to lower the freezing point. 89 Components Requiring Special Attention Emergency Response Key Points Damaged Vehicle Handling Key Points Gas Leaks There  are various types of gas used in vehicles. For example, there is nitrogen (N2) gas used in gas filled dampers, refrigerant gas for air conditioners, and CNG, LPG and hydrogen gas. Nitrogen (N2) Gas Nitrogen  (N2) is used in gas filled dampers. The  gas is colourless, odourless, and harmless. Refrigerant Gas The  refrigerant gas used in air conditioner is R-134a or R-1234yf. The  gas contains carbon and fluorine. The  gas is colourless, odourless, and harmless. Vehicle with CNG Compressed  Natural Gas (CNG) is a flammable gas that mainly contains methane. The  gas is colourless and harmless. The  gas is infused with a smell so that a leak can be quickly detected. If  the sound of natural gas leaking (a loud hissing sound) can be heard when working on the vehicle, or if the smell of natural gas is present, immediately step away from the vehicle as there is a chance the natural gas may ignite. Vehicle with LPG Liquefied  Petroleum Gas (LPG) is a flammable gas that mainly contains propane and butane. The  gas is colourless and harmless. The  gas is infused with a smell so that a leak can be quickly detected. If  the sound of LPG leaking (a loud hissing sound) can be heard when working on the vehicle, or if the smell of LPG is present, immediately step away from the vehicle as there is a chance the LPG may ignite. Vehicle with Hydrogen Gas Hydrogen  gas is a flammable gas. The  gas is colourless, odourless, and harmless. If  the sound of hydrogen leaking (a loud hissing sound) can be heard when working on the vehicle, or if the hydrogen concentration around the vehicle exceeds 4% when measured with a hydrogen concentration detector, immediately step away from the vehicle as there is a chance the hydrogen gas may ignite. 90 Damaged Vehicle Handling Key Points Points  to be noted when handling damaged vehicles are provided in this section. 91 Components Requiring Special Attention Emergency Response Key Points Damaged Vehicle Handling Key Points Towing Damaged Vehicle Loading  a vehicle onto a car carrier (flat bed trailer) is the preferred method of towing. Only  the FF (Front-engine Front-wheel drive) vehicles are available to tow with rear wheels on the ground. If  towing the vehicle with all four wheels on the ground is unavoidable, release the parking lock, move the shift lever to neutral (N), and unlock the steering wheel first. The vehicle can then be towed at a low speed (below 30 km/h) for a distance of up to 80 km in a forward direction. (*Except vehicles with a high voltage battery. See page 94 for details.) Refer  to the illustrations on the following page for correct and incorrect methods of towing FF (Front-engine Front-wheel drive), FR (Front-engine Rear-wheel drive), MR (Mid-engine Rearwheel drive) and 4WD (Four Wheel Drive) vehicles. When  towing a vehicle with all four wheels on the ground, make sure the vehicle is in 'Ignition-On' mode. If in 'Off' mode, the steering wheel may lock, making the steering inoperative. Exceeding  the towing distance or speed limit when towing a vehicle with all four wheels on the ground or towing a vehicle with the vehicle facing backwards, may damage the transmission or transaxle. When  the vehicle is equipped with a stop and start system, towing the vehicle with all four wheels on the ground may damage the system. Parking Lock The  parking lock can be released by moving the shift lever from park (P) to neutral (N) while pushing and holding the 'lock release button' on the shift gate. The  parking lock for vehicles equipped electric shift switches (vehicles with a P position switch) cannot be released while the 12 V negative (-) battery terminal is disconnected. When moving the vehicle, use a jack, etc. 92 Components Requiring Special Attention Emergency Response Key Points Damaged Vehicle Handling Key Points Towing Damaged Vehicle Steering Wheel Lock The  steering wheel can be unlocked by pushing the engine/power switch until in 'Ignition-On' mode, or turning the ignition switch to any position other than 'LOCK'. When  it is difficult to release the lock, turn the steering wheel in either direction while pushing the engine/power switch or turning the key. When  a vehicle is equipped with the electrical key transmitter system, the steering wheel cannot be unlocked if the negative (-) terminal of the 12 V battery is disconnected. Use wheel dollies or similar equipment when moving the vehicle. Precautions for FF (Front-engine Front-wheel drive) vehicle Tow  the vehicle with the front wheels or all four wheels off the ground. Precautions for FR (Front-engine Rear-wheel drive), MR (Mid-engine Rear-wheel drive) and 4WD (Four Wheel Drive) vehicles Tow  the vehicle with all four wheels off the ground. 93 Components Requiring Special Attention Emergency Response Key Points Damaged Vehicle Handling Key Points Towing Damaged Vehicle Vehicle with High Voltage Battery Make  sure the negative (-) terminal of the 12 V battery is disconnected, then load the vehicle onto a car carrier (flat bed trailer). If  towing the vehicle with all four wheels on the ground is unavoidable, only tow it for a short distance (such as to a car carrier (flat bed trailer)) in a forward direction at a low speed (below 30 km/h). Refer  to the previous illustrations for correct and incorrect methods of towing FF, FR and 4WD vehicles. Hybrid  Vehicles (HV), Plug-in Hybrid Vehicles (PHV), Electric Vehicles (EV) and Fuel Cell Vehicles (FCV) are equipped with a high voltage electrical system (over 144 V, up to 650 V). To  prevent serious injury or death from severe burns or electric shock, avoid touching, cutting, or breaching any orange high voltage power cable or high voltage component. Wear appropriate protective equipment such as insulated gloves when there is a risk of touching high voltage power cables or high voltage components. If  Hybrid Vehicles (HV), Plug-in Hybrid Vehicles (PHV), Electric Vehicles (EV) or Fuel Cell Vehicles (FCV) are towed with the drive wheels on the ground, it could have adverse effects on the high voltage system and damage it. 94 Components Requiring Special Attention Emergency Response Key Points Damaged Vehicle Handling Key Points Storing a Damaged Vehicle Drain  the petrol and oils, and disconnect the negative (-) terminal of the 12 V battery before storing a damaged vehicle. Submerged Vehicle In  addition to general procedures, remove the water from the vehicle. A  vehicle that has been submerged in water poses a threat of vehicle fire after some time for possible short circuits due to electrical corrosion (wiring and circuit boards to corrode in an electrochemical reaction with water). To store a vehicle that has been submerged in water, choose a well-ventilated place at least 15 metres away from other objects. To  prevent a vehicle fire, avoid turning the ignition switch or engine/power switch of a submerged vehicle to ACC or ON. Vehicle with High Voltage Battery In  addition to the normal procedures, remove the service plug from the high voltage battery before storing a damaged vehicle. The  service plug is a high voltage component. Touching it without appropriate protective equipment may result in serious injury or death from severe burns and electric shock from the high voltage electrical system. Wear appropriate protective equipment such as insulated gloves when touching the service plug. High  voltage electricity is stored in the high voltage battery even after the vehicle is shut off, disabled (see page 72) and the service plug is removed from the high voltage battery. To  prevent serious injury or death from severe burns or electric shock, avoid touching, cutting, or breaching any orange high voltage power cable or high voltage component. Wear appropriate protective equipment such as insulated gloves when there is a risk of touching high voltage power cables or high voltage components. When  the person(s) in charge of handling the damaged vehicle is away from the vehicle, other person(s) may accidentally touch the vehicle and be electrocuted, resulting in severe injury or death. To avoid this danger, display a 'HIGH VOLTAGE DO NOT TOUCH' sign to warn others (print and use page 25 of this guide). A  high voltage battery may cause a vehicle fire after some time for possible short circuits inside due to the impact of collision or electrical corrosion. To store a vehicle equipped with a high voltage battery, choose a well-ventilated place at least 15 metres away from other objects. 95 Components Requiring Special Attention Emergency Response Key Points Damaged Vehicle Handling Key Points Storing a Damaged Vehicle Vehicle with Hydrogen Gas In  addition to the normal procedures, remove the service plug from the FC stack before storing a damaged vehicle. The  service plug is a high voltage component. Touching it without appropriate protective equipment may result in serious injury or death from severe burns and electric shock from the high voltage electrical system. Wear appropriate protective equipment such as insulated gloves when touching the service plug. To  prevent serious injury or death from severe burns or electric shock, avoid touching, cutting, or breaching any orange high voltage power cable or high voltage component. Wear appropriate protective equipment such as insulated gloves when there is a risk of touching high voltage power cables or high voltage components. When  the person(s) in charge of handling the damaged vehicle is away from the vehicle, other person(s) may accidentally touch the vehicle and be electrocuted, resulting in severe injury or death. To avoid this danger, display 'HIGH VOLTAGE DO NOT TOUCH' and 'HIGH PRESSURE GAS DO NOT TOUCH' signs to warn others (print and use pages 25 and 36 of this guide). Vehicles  that are equipped with hydrogen gas may leak due to damage incurred during an accident. The remaining hydrogen may ignite causing a fire or explosion. Therefore, when storing a vehicle equipped with hydrogen gas, place it in a well ventilated area 15 metres or more away from other items and leave the windows or doors open. Vehicle with Sub-battery Due  to the impact during the collision and electrolytic corrosion of the sub-battery, a short circuit may occur internally causing a fire to occur after a certain amount of time elapses. When storing a vehicle equipped with a sub-battery, place it in a well ventilated area 15 meters or more away from other items. 96 Quick Reference Sheets CT200h (ZWA10) 99 ES350 (GSV60) 101 ES300h (AVV60) 103 ES300h (AXZH10) 105 GS350/200t/300 (GRL12/ARL10) 107 GS F (URL10) 109 GS450h/300h (GWL10/AWL10) 111 IS350/300/250/200t (GSE31/GSE30/ASE30) 113 IS300h (AVE30) 115 LC500 (URZ100) 117 LC500h (GWZ100) 119 LS500 (VXFA50) 121 LS500h (GVF50) 123 LX570 (URJ201) 125 NX200t/300 (AGZ15) 127 NX300h (AYZ15) 129 RC350/200t/300 (GSC10/ASC10) 131 RC F (USC10) 133 RX350/200t/300 (GGL25/AGL20) 135 RX450h (GYL25) 137 UX200 (MZAA10) 139 UX250h (MZAH10/MZAH15) 141 97 Notes 98 CT200h RHD 2013-12 -- IG/POWER SW Fuse Box 12V Battery Airbag (incl.
