High-voltage components

Fuse box

  • A high-voltage battery for motor that drives the motor and a 12 V battery that powers the lighting unit are built into the electric vehicle. Follow the instruction manual for the battery for motor when handling the battery for motor.
  • NOTICE

    If the vehicle is immersed in water, the water may get into the batteries for motor and cause a malfunction. Do not drive the vehicle and immediately contact your authorised dealer.

    3WARNING

    High voltage is applied through all components of the vehicle and their wiring (orange and purple colour).
    Disassembling or modifying the vehicle could cause you to suffer electric shock or a fire to ignite, which may kill or seriously injure you.


    Observe the following rules regarding these high-voltage parts.

  • Do not disassemble, modify, or touch these parts
  • Contact your authorised dealer for inspections and repairs

  • Be aware of the following after a crash
  • You may suffer from electric shock if you are involved in a crash that greatly damages or deforms the vehicle. Never touch high-voltage components or their wiring (orange and purple colour).
  • Do not touch electrolyte solution. If any electrolyte solution gets in your eyes or on your skin, it may irritate your eyes and skin or cause burns.
    First-aid for emergencies
  • If a fire ignites, use a fire extinguisher suitable for electrical fires. Attempting to extinguish an electrical fire with a small quantity of water can be rather dangerous. When using water to extinguish an electrical fire in an emergency, make sure to use a large quantity of water from a fire hydrant or something similar.
  • 3WARNING

    Since your vehicle uses a high-voltage battery for motor, if you respond incorrectly when an accident occurs, it may cause unexpected problems that result in death or serious injury.


    If you are involved in a crash, follow the procedures and instructions stated in this manual.
