key battery FORD ESCAPE 2021 Owner's Manual

1. Exit the vehicle immediately.
2. Advise emergency assistance that an
electric or hybrid-electric vehicle is
involved.
3. As with any vehicle fire, do not inhale smoke, vapors or gas from the vehicle,
as they may be hazardous.
Post-Incident
1. Do not store a severely damaged vehicle with a lithium-ion battery inside
a structure or within 49 ft (15 m) of any
structure or vehicle.
2. Make sure that passenger and luggage
compartments remain ventilated.
3. Call emergency assistance if you observe leaking fluids, sparks, smoke
or flames, or hear gurgling or bubbling
from the high-voltage battery.
SWITCHING THE HAZARD
FLASHERS ON AND OFF
The hazard flashers operate when the
ignition is in any position, or if the key is not
in the ignition. The battery loses charge
and may have insufficient power to restart
your vehicle if your vehicle is in use or if the
key is not in the ignition. The flasher control is on the instrument
panel. Use your hazard flashers when your
vehicle is creating a safety hazard for other
road users.
Switch the hazard flashers on and all front
and rear direction indicators flash.
Press the button again to switch them off.
JUMP STARTING THE VEHICLE
Jump Starting Precautions
WARNING: Batteries normally
produce explosive gases which can
cause personal injury. Therefore, do not
allow flames, sparks or lighted
substances to come near the battery.
When working near the battery, always
shield your face and protect your eyes.
Always provide correct ventilation. WARNING:
Keep batteries out of
reach of children. Batteries contain
sulfuric acid. Avoid contact with skin,
eyes or clothing. Shield your eyes when
working near the battery to protect
against possible splashing of acid
solution. In case of acid contact with skin
or eyes, flush immediately with water for
a minimum of 15 minutes and get prompt
medical attention. If acid is swallowed,
call a physician immediately. WARNING:
Use only adequately
sized cables with insulated clamps. WARNING:
Make sure that the
cables are clear of any moving parts and
fuel delivery system parts. WARNING: Connect batteries with
only the same nominal voltage.
