Removal
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) safety gear, including high voltage safety
gloves and boots. Remove all metallic jewelry, including watches and
rings. Isolate the HV 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.
NOTICE:
Battery electric vehicle (BEV), hybrid electric vehicle
(HEV) and plug-in hybrid electric vehicle (PHEV) contain a high-voltage
battery. Before cutting or welding near the high-voltage battery it must
be removed to avoid damage.
NOTE:

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) safety gear, including high voltage safety
gloves and boots. Remove all metallic jewelry, including watches and
rings. Isolate the HV 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.
NOTICE:
Battery electric vehicle (BEV), hybrid electric vehicle
(HEV) and plug-in hybrid electric vehicle (PHEV) contain a high-voltage
battery. Before cutting or welding near the high-voltage battery it must
be removed to avoid damage.
NOTICE:
The high-voltage battery in a Battery Electric Vehicle
(BEV), Hybrid Electric Vehicle (HEV) or Plug-In Hybrid Electric Vehicle
(PHEV) can be affected and damaged by excessively high temperatures. The
temperature in some body shop paint booths can exceed 60° C (140° F).
Therefore, during refinishing operations, the paint booth temperature
must set at or below 60° C (140° F) with a bake time of 45 minutes or
less. Temperatures in excess of 60° C (140° F) or bake durations longer
than 45 minutes will require the high-voltage battery be removed from
the vehicle prior to placing in the paint booth.
NOTICE:
If refinishing cure temperatures exceed 60°C (140°F), the charge port light ring must be removed.
NOTE:
Factory welds may be substituted with resistance or metal
inert gas (MIG) plug welds. Resistance welds may not be placed directly
over original location. They must be placed adjacent to original
location and match factory welds in quantity. Metal inert gas (MIG) plug
welds must equal factory welds in both location and quantity.
NOTE:
