Built-in Safety Measures

All hybrid vehicles have built-in safety measures to ensure the vehicle remains safe to deal with after a collision.

If the onboard computer senses an airbag deployment or high velocity impact, it immediately shuts the electrical system down and disconnects it.

The copper shield built into the high voltage wiring disconnects power if it detects it has been compromised in any way.

If the car were to become submerged in water, the system is designed to isolate itself. However, if this didn’t happen, there isn’t enough energy stored to electrify the water. That means there is no risk involved in removing the hybrid from water.
