cause a risk of intoxication. In case
of contact with the electrolyte, rinse
immediately with plenty of water and
seek medical attention
do not go near the auxiliary/high-
voltage battery with naked flames:
danger of FIRE. In case of fire, do not

park safely on the side of the road,
apply the electric parking brake, put the
PRND command in P and switch off
the electric motor
contact rescue immediately
for electric versions: warn that
it is a electric car equipped with a
high-voltage system
if you notice any electrolyte leakage
from the auxiliary/high-voltage battery,
do not go near the vehicle. If the
electrolyte from the auxiliary/high-
voltage battery comes into contact with
the eyes or skin, blindness or skin
lesions may occur. Any vapors released
IMPORTANT
261) Damage to the vehicle or the traction
