COLLISION, DAMAGE OR FIRE
EVENT

Guidance for Ford Motor Company
Electric and Hybrid-Electric
Vehicles Equipped With High
Voltage Batteries

(Vehicle Owner/Operator/General
Public)
Electric and Hybrid-Electric Vehicle
Considerations

In the event of damage or fire involving
an electric vehicle (EV) or
hybrid-electric vehicle (HEV):

Always assume the high-voltage
battery and associated components
are energized and fully charged.

Exposed electrical components, wires
and high-voltage batteries present
potential high-voltage shock hazards.

Venting/off-gassing high-voltage
battery vapors are potentially toxic and
flammable.

Physical damage to the vehicle or
high-voltage battery may result in
immediate or delayed release of toxic,
flammable gases and fire.

Vehicle Information and General
Safety Practices

Know the make and model of your
vehicle.

Review the owner’s manual and
become familiar with your vehicle’s
safety information and recommended
safety practices.

Do not attempt to repair damaged
electric and hybrid-electric vehicles
yourself. Contact an authorized Ford
Dealer or vehicle manufacturer
representative for service.
