Nissan ARIYA 2024 Owners Manual
3.4. Road accident precautions
In case of a collision:
If your vehicle is drivable, pull your vehicle off the road, push the park button on the shift lever, apply the parking brake and turn the EV (Electric Vehicle) system off.
Check your vehicle to see if there are exposed high-voltage parts or cables. For their locations, see
. To avoid personal injury, never touch high-voltage wiring, connectors, and other high-voltage parts, such as the On Board Charger (OBC), inverter unit and Li-ion battery. An electric shock may occur if exposed electric wires are visible when viewed from inside or outside of your vehicle. Therefore, never touch exposed electric wires.If the vehicle receives a strong impact to the floor while driving, stop the vehicle in a safe location and check the floor.
Leaks or damage to the Li-ion battery may result in a fire. If you discover them, contact emergency services immediately. Since the fluid leak may be lithium manganate from the Li-ion battery, never touch the fluid leak inside or outside the vehicle. If the fluid contacts your skin or eyes, wash it off immediately with a large amount of water and receive immediate medical attention to help avoid serious injury.
If a fire occurs in the EV (Electric Vehicle), leave the vehicle as soon as possible. Only use a type ABC, BC or C fire extinguisher that is meant for use on electrical fires. Using a small amount of water or the incorrect fire extinguisher can result in serious injury or death from electrical shock.
If your vehicle needs to be towed, do it with the front wheels raised (for 2WD models) or all wheels raised (for 4WD models). If the front wheels (for 2WD models) and/or rear wheels (for 4WD models) are on the ground when towing, the traction motor may be damaged.
If you are not able to safely assess the vehicle due to vehicle damage, do not touch the vehicle. Leave the vehicle and contact emergency services. Advise 1st responders that this is an electric vehicle.
