2.3 NOTES
EV Overview
NOTES:
!Vehicle will not run with completely
discharged battery. At low SOC avoid
repeated acceleration resulting in more
energy consumption that can be avoided by
gradual acceleration and maintaining steady
speed.
!Driving in down gradient, when accelerator
pedal is released, regenerative brakes will

contact authorised dealer for guidance
and information on recycling or proper
disposal without causing any

2.2 WARNING & CAUTION
Vehicle uses a 48 volts battery system.
Some of systems could be hot before &
after their usage. Hence pay attention
and follow warning labels located at
placesinvehicle.
Never try to access, remove parts /
cables / connectors which can cause
shockorsevereburns orresultinserious
injury.48voltagecablesarecolourcoded
in Orange & systems are not user
serviceable. For any maintenance,
contactyourauthorisedservicecenter.
Ineventofaccident:
1. If vehicle is in drivable condition,
move vehicle off the road, park &
switchoffdrivesystem.
2.Checkforanyexposed48voltscables/
parts. To do so check picture
indicating voltage layout of the
system. Never touch any exposed 48
volts wiring & avoid any possible
electricshock.
WARNING 3. In case of any high impact on to
batterycompartmentfloor area,do
stop at safe location & check floor
area for leaks or damages that can
cause fire. In case of fire in EV
(electric vehicle), leave vehicle
immediately. Only use ABC, BC or C
type of fire extinguishers
recommended for electrical fire
hazards.
For any reason to tow vehicle, do it
withrecoveryvehiclesupport.Inevent
of not doing so, drive motor may
generateelectricity,cancausedamage
to EV components and may result in
fire.
If vehicle cannot be assessed for extent of
damage, do not touch vehicle and contact
nearest authorised service center or
customer care executive for support. To any
requirements of body repair due to
accidents, vehicle should be delivered to
authorised service center to evaluate
damage & take necessary precautions.
Damaged Li-ion battery modules could pose

SpecialAttention:
!Make sure to turn off drive system before
leavingvehicle.
!Engage parking brake prior to getting out
ofthevehicle.
!Do not allow untrained person to access
