Tower Tip: Storing Hybrid and Electric Vehicles • If the HV battery is confirmed or suspected of being physically damaged, notify Ford USA 1-800- 392-3673 or Ford Canada 1-800-565-3673 as there may be additional steps necessary to secure, discharge, handle, and/or store the HV battery and vehicle. • Do not store a severely damaged vehicle with a lithium-ion battery inside a structure or within 50 ft (15 m) of any structure or vehicle. • Make sure that passenger and cargo compartments remain ventilated. • Prior to placing and while located in storage area/tow lot, continue to inspect vehicle for leaking fluids, sparks, smoke, flames, gurgling or bubbling sounds from the HV battery and call 911 if any of these are detected. • Maintain clear access to stored vehicles for monitoring and emergency response if needed.
