Exposed electrical components, wires, and HV batteries presentpotential HV shock hazards. Venting/off-gassing HV battery vapors are potentially toxic and flammable. Physical damage to the vehicle or HV battery may result in immediateor delayed release of toxic and/or flammable gases and fire.Vehicle Information and General Safety Practices Know the make and model of your vehicle. Review the owners manual and become familiar with your vehiclessafety information and recommended safety practices. Do not attempt to repair damaged electric and hybrid-electric vehiclesyourself. Contact an authorized Ford Dealer or vehicle manufacturerrepresentative for service.CrashesA crash or impact significant enough to require an emergency responsefor conventional vehicles would also require the same response for anelectric or hybrid-electric vehicle.If possible Move your car to a safe, nearby location and remain on the scene. Roll down windows before shutting vehicle off. Place vehicle in Park, set parking brake, turn off the vehicle, activatehazard lights, and move key(s) at least 16 feet (5 meters) away fromthe vehicle. Always Call 911 if assistance is needed and advise that an electric orhybrid-electric vehicle is involved. Do not touch exposed electrical components or the enginecompartment, as a shock hazard may exist. Avoid contact with leaking fluids and gases, and remain out of the wayof oncoming traffic until emergency responders arrive. When emergency responders arrive, tell them that the vehicle involvedis an EV or HEV.FiresAs with any vehicle, call 911 immediately if you see sparks, smoke, orflames coming from the vehicle. Exit the vehicle immediately. Advise 911 that an electric or hybrid-electric vehicle is involved. As with any vehicle fire, do not inhale smoke, vapors, or gas from the vehicle, as they may be hazardous. Remain a safe distance upwind and uphill from the vehicle fire. Stay out of the roadway and stay out of the way of any oncomingtraffic while awaiting the arrival of emergency responders.Post-Incident Do not store a severely damaged vehicle with a lithium-ion batteryinside a structure or within 50 feet (15 meters) of any structure orvehicle. Ensure that passenger and cargo compartments remain ventilated(i.e., open window, door, or trunk). For vehicles in the United States, notify Ford Motor Company1-800-392-3673 (then follow the prompts on the voice response menu),an authorized Ford dealer or service center as soon as possible as theremay be other steps to secure and/or discharge the HV battery. For vehicles in Canada, notify Ford Motor Company 1-800-565-3673 (then follow the prompts on the voice response menu), an authorizedFord dealer or service center as soon as possible as there may beother steps to secure and/or discharge the HV battery. Call 911 if you observe leaking fluids, sparks, smoke, or flames, orhear gurgling or bubbling from the HV battery.The da aged vehicle guidance that is outlined in the Focus EV “Emerg nc R spons Guide” is consist nt with NHTSA recomm ndati ns ONE FORDONE TEAM ONE PLAN ONE GOALGreat Products, Strong Business, Better World 15
