WARNING:
THE HIGH-VOLTAGE SYSTEM MAY RETAIN A DANGEROUS LEVEL OF VOLTAGE FOR A SHORT
TIME AFTER THE SERVICE DISCONNECT HAS BEEN OPENED. WAIT 5 MINUTES FOR THE
VOLTAGE TO DISSIPATE BEFORE BEGINNING SERVICE. FAILURE TO FOLLOW THIS
INSTRUCTION MAY RESULT IN SERIOUS PERSONAL INJURY OR DEATH.
WARNING:
REMOVING THE BATTERY HIGH VOLTAGE SERVICE DISCONNECT DOES NOT DISSIPATE
VOLTAGE INSIDE THE BATTERY PACK. THE BATTERY PACK REMAINS LIVE AND DANGEROUS.
CONTACT WITH THE HIGH VOLTAGE BATTERY PACK INTERNALS MAY RESULT IN SERIOUS
PERSONAL INJURY OR DEATH.
WARNING:
ELECTRIC VEHICLES DAMAGED BY A CRASH MAY HAVE COMPROMISED HIGH VOLTAGE
SAFETY SYSTEMS AND PRESENT A POTENTIAL HIGH VOLTAGE ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD.
EXERCISE CAUTION AND WEAR APPROPRIATE PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT (PPE)
INCLUDING HIGH VOLTAGE SAFETY GLOVES AND BOOTS. REMOVE ALL METALLIC JEWELRY,
INCLUDING WATCHES AND RINGS. ISOLATE THE HIGH VOLTAGE SYSTEM AS DIRECTED BY
THE FORD EMERGENCY RESPONSE GUIDE FOR THE VEHICLE. FAILURE TO FOLLOW THESE
INSTRUCTIONS MAY RESULT IN SERIOUS PERSONAL INJURY OR DEATH.
WARNING:
TO PREVENT THE RISK OF HIGH-VOLTAGE SHOCK, ALWAYS FOLLOW PRECISELY ALL
WARNINGS AND SERVICE INSTRUCTIONS INCLUDING INSTRUCTIONS TO DEPOWER THE
SYSTEM. THE TOTAL VOLTAGE OF THE VEHICLE HV BATTERY PACK MAY BE UP TO
APPROXIMATELY 450 VOLTS DC. THIS VOLTAGE IS PROVIDED THROUGH HIGH-VOLTAGE
CABLES TO ITS COMPONENTS AND MODULES. THE HIGH-VOLTAGE CABLES AND WIRING ARE
IDENTIFIED BY ORANGE HARNESS TAPE OR ORANGE WIRE COVERING. ALL HIGH-VOLTAGE
COMPONENTS ARE MARKED WITH HIGH-VOLTAGE WARNING LABELS WITH A HIGH-VOLTAGE
SYMBOL. FAILURE TO FOLLOW THESE INSTRUCTIONS MAY RESULT IN SERIOUS PERSONAL
INJURY OR DEATH.
WARNING:
SERVICE OF THE HIGH VOLTAGE SYSTEM ON THIS VEHICLE IS RESTRICTED TO
QUALIFIED PERSONNEL. THE REQUIRED QUALIFICATIONS VARY BY REGION. ALWAYS
OBSERVE LOCAL LAWS AND LEGISLATIVE DIRECTIVES REGARDING ELECTRIC VEHICLE
SERVICE. FAILURE TO FOLLOW THIS INSTRUCTION MAY RESULT IN SERIOUS PERSONAL
INJURY OR DEATH.
WARNING:
NEVER CONNECT THE SERVICE DISCONNECT WHEN A HIGH-VOLTAGE COVER IS REMOVED.
ALWAYS INSTALL THE COVER PRIOR TO CONNECTING THE SERVICE DISCONNECT. THE COVER
PREVENTS INADVERTENT CONTACT WITH THE HIGH VOLTAGE WHICH IS PRESENT AT SEVERAL
POINTS UNDER THE COVER. FAILURE TO FOLLOW THESE INSTRUCTIONS MAY RESULT IN
SERIOUS PERSONAL INJURY OR DEATH.
WARNING:
DISCONNECT THE 12V BATTERY BEFORE SERVICING THE DIRECT CURRENT TO
ALTERNATING CURRENT (DC-AC) INVERTER OR ALTERNATING CURRENT (AC) POWERPOINT TO
PREVENT THE RISK OF HIGH VOLTAGE SHOCK. FAILURE TO FOLLOW THIS INSTRUCTION MAY
RESULT IN SERIOUS PERSONAL INJURY.

High-Voltage (HV) battery system can damage or disable the HV Battery system.
Do not open or modify High Voltage battery pack High Voltage Battery
Depowering using FDRS WARNING:
Before beginning any service procedure in this manual, refer to health and
safety warnings. Failure to follow this instruction may result in serious
personal injury.
WARNING:
To prevent the risk of high-voltage shock, always follow precisely all
warnings and service instructions, including instructions to depower the
system. The high-voltage system utilizes approximately 450 volts DC, provided
through high-voltage cables to its components and modules. The high-voltage
cables and wiring are identified by orange harness tape or orange wire
covering. All high-voltage components are marked with high-voltage warning
labels with a high-voltage symbol. Failure to follow these instructions may
result in serious personal injury or death.

SPECIAL NOTE TO DISMANTLERS AND SALVAGE YARDS
If a vehicle with a high voltage battery is to be scrapped, the high voltage
battery must be disposed of following all local, state/provincial and federal
guidelines.
The vehicle’s Lithium-Ion High Voltage Battery pack (Li-Ion HVB) is fully
recyclable and should be shipped to a permitted recycling facility. The
guidelines below are for Li-Ion HVBs which have been removed from the vehicle
and discharged.
General Packaging, Transport, and Recycling Guidelines
Once the battery has been removed from the vehicle and discharged:
- Store the battery components in a building or under shelter so that batteries are kept dry and not exposed to high temperatures.
- Protect battery components from damage (e.g. crushed or punctured).
- It is recommended to ask about the specific packaging requirements for battery shipments to the recycler who will be receiving the battery components in order to avoid inappropriate repacking/stacking of the batteries.
- Batteries should be sorted by type. Keep lead acid batteries, NiMH batteries, and Li-Ion batteries separated from each other (e.g. separate pallets or storage locations).
- Make sure the battery recycler is aware of the battery type. Li-ion batteries cannot be recycled in the same manner as lead acid or NiMH
Though Ford Motor Company makes no representations or endorsements, there are companies that have the capability to accept, consolidate and recycle undamaged Li-Ion HVBs, and a few are listed below. Contact the appropriate battery manufacturer for additional information.
North America Battery Recyclers
Once the battery has been removed from the vehicle and discharged:
Kinsbursky Brothers, Inc. 1125 Beacon Street Brea, CA 92801: Phone:
800-502-9258 Retriev Technologies, Inc.
265 Quarry Rd SE Lancaster, OH 43130: Phone:
740-653-6290 Applicable
Laws/Regulations
The following is a general explanation of certain applicable laws; however,
these laws change from time to time, additional regulations are under
development and Ford Motor Company makes no representation that this is a
complete summary.
Packaging and Transport
Packaging and Transport The U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) outlines packaging and shipping requirements for Li-Ion batteries. Certain exceptions on packaging and transportation regulations for large format Li-Ion batteries may be found in 49CFR 173.185 (d) and (f). Make sure that the shipping paperwork is filled out correctly and that the shipment is properly labeled per federal, state, and local laws and regulations. Ensure that you are complying with any record keeping requirements. Generally, under U.S. DOT regulations, Li-Ion batteries are considered a dangerous good and regulated as hazardous materials when transported. Li-Ion batteries are classified as Class 9 hazardous material. Only certified hazardous material shippers should offer transport of a hazardous material. Batteries for recycling should be shipped by ground or vessel only. Do not ship batteries for recycling by air.
NOTE:
A damaged battery (one that is leaking electrolyte from the battery pack) might need to be shipped as a hazardous waste. If you are transporting a damaged battery, utilize a company that specializes in hazardous waste transport and management. Ensure that you comply with all applicable hazardous waste management laws and regulations.
Recycling
40 CFR 261 states that manufactured articles that yield extracts which
exceed one or more of the concentration limits of regulated listed
constituents, or meets the definition of ignitability, corrosivity or
reactivity are defined as hazardous wastes and must be disposed of in
accordance with federal and state regulations. Since there are many variations
in the specific chemistry of Li-Ion batteries, additional classifications may
be necessary to determine if the battery is a hazardous waste. It is the
responsibility of the generator to make this determination. Generally, under
federal and state law, sealed, Li-Ion batteries may be considered dry cell
batteries and therefore may be managed as a universal waste; damaged or
leaking Li-Ion batteries may be regulated as hazardous waste under federal and
state regulations.
