WARNING
lNever resell, hand over or modify the traction battery. To prevent accidents, traction batteries that have been
removed from a disposed vehicle are collected through your SUBARU retailer. Do not dispose of the battery yourself. Unless the battery is properly
collected, the following may occur, resulting in death or serious injury:
• Do not illegally dispose of or dump the traction battery, and it is hazardous to the environment or someone may touch a high voltage part, resulting in an electric shock.
• The traction battery is intended to be used exclusively with your battery electric vehicle. If the traction battery is used outside of your vehicle or modified in any way, accidents such as electric shock, heat generation, smoke generation, an explosion and electrolyte leakage may occur. When reselling or handing over your vehicle, the possibility of an accident is extremely high because the person receiving the vehicle may
not be aware of the dangers from these modifications.
lIf your vehicle is disposed of without the traction battery having been removed, there is a danger of serious electric shock if high voltage parts, cables and
their connectors are touched. In the event that your vehicle must be disposed of, the traction battery must be disposed of by your SUBARU retailer or a qualified service shop. If the traction battery is not disposed of properly, it may cause electric shock that can result in death or serious injury. lFor information about traction battery collection locations, contact information, or the recycling process, contact your SUBARU retailer.
n Caution while driving
lPay special attention to the area around the vehicle. Because
there is no engine noise, pedestrians, people riding bicycles or other people and vehicles in the
area may not be aware of the
vehicle starting off or approaching them, so take extra care
while driving. Therefore, take
extra care while driving even if the Acoustic Vehicle Alerting
System is active.
lIf the vehicle under floor area
receives strong shock or impact while driving, stop the vehicle in
a safe place and check around the bottom of the vehicle. If there is damage to the traction battery or liquid leakage, it may lead to a vehicle fire, etc. Do not touch the vehicle and immediately contact your SUBARU retailer. Even if no damage can be seen under the floor, the traction battery may be damaged. If the vehicle received an impact
under the floor, have the traction battery inspected at a SUBARU retailer.
n Modifications
Do not make modifications that lower the height of the vehicle.
The traction battery in the under floor area may come into contact with the ground when the height of vehicle is lowered. If the traction battery is damaged, a vehicle fire may occur, possibly resulting in death or serious injury.
