3-3.4 Cutting the Vehicle Body
DANGER
• Do not cut into high voltage related areas to avoid severe personal injury or death.
• Do not cut into the high voltage battery to avoid severe personal injury or death.
• When removing parts, NEVER touch the high voltage parts or the insides of the
exposed orange-colored high voltage cables to avoid severe personal injury or
death. Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) must always be worn when touching or
working on high voltage components. Do not cut air bag parts to avoid unintended deployment of the air bags and the risk of
severe

personal injury or death.
If approximately ten (10) minutes have passed since the rescuer shut down the high voltage system (refer to
3-3.1 High Voltage System Shut-Down Procedure (FRG–20)) , then the rescuer can cut the vehicle except for the high voltage battery.
If

the rescuer cannot wait approximately ten (10) minutes or shut down the high voltage
system, absolute care must be taken to avoid cutting HV parts and appropriate Personal
Protective Equipment (PPE) must always be worn.DO NOT cut the high voltage battery due to
possible electrocution risk and electrolyte solution leakage.
FRG–30

SRS Air Bag System Components Location
Avoid
cutting air bag system parts. However, the vehicle can be cut (except inflators) under the following
conditions: • The front, side and curtain air bags have deployed.
• At least three (3) minutes have passed after the 12-volt battery negative (-) cable has beendisconnected and the high voltage system has been shut down. AAYIA0012GB

3-3.5 High Voltage Battery Damage And Fluid Leaks
The high voltage battery contains electrolyte solution. To avoid exposure to electrolyte
solution
and serious personal injury, always wear appropriate solvent resistant Personal
Protective Equipment (PPE) and read the following precautions:
• Electrolyte solution is a skin irritant.
• Electrolyte solution is an eye irritant – If contact with eyes, rinse with plenty of water and
see a doctor immediately.
• If electrolyte leak occurs, wear appropriate solvent resistant PPE and use a dry cloth to clean up the spilled electrolyte. Be sure to adequately ventilate the area.
• Electrolyte solution is highly flammable.
• Electrolyte liquid or fumes that have come into contact with water vapors in the air will create an oxidized substance. This substance may irritate skin and eyes. In these cases,
rinse with plenty of water and see a doctor immediately.
• Electrolyte fumes (when inhaled) can cause respiratory irritation and acute intoxication. Move to fresh air and wash mouth with water. See a doctor immediately.
If electrolyte solution leakage, or damage such as any problem with the high voltage battery casing are
observed, first responders should attempt to neutralize the battery by applying a large volume of water to the
battery pack while wearing appropriate Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) . The neutralization process
helps stabilize the thermal condition of the battery pack but does not discharge the battery.
High Voltage Battery Electrolyte Solution Characteristics: • Clear in color
• Sweet odor
• Similar viscosity to water
• Since the high voltage battery is made up of many small sealed battery modules, electrolyte solutionleakage should be minimal.
NOTE:
Other fluids in the vehicle (such as engine oil, washer fluid, brake fluid, coolant, etc.) are
the same as those in a conventional vehicle.
