Technical information

High-voltage emergency separation point open.
.
3.1.2 Determine voltage free status
A switched off high-voltage system can be identified via the Check Control message "High-voltage system deactivated" in
the instrument cluster.
Note: The display requires the 12 V battery to be connected and a terminal change (stop and start vehicle via start/stop
button) to be carried out.
.
3.2 Vehicle on fire
In general, all statutory requirements relating to a conventional vehicle on fire are to be observed.
No explosion will occur in the event of a reaction of the lithium ion high-voltage battery triggered by the fire. A quick
thermal response will take place.
Monitoring the high-voltage battery with a thermographic camera is therefore recommended.
Trapped persons can be rescued using suitable fire fighting equipment.
The BMW I12 consists of a carbon fibre passenger cell. The carbon fibre are not combustible. However, since these
fibres are held together by a special resin, the resin may catch fire in the event of high temperatures.
Bear in mind that a fire may lead to the vehicle structure losing its original strength. After a fire, the vehicle solely consists
of the structure of the drive module. Observe chapter 3.2.3 during recovery!
.
3.2.1 Extinguishing
In the event of fire, the high-voltage battery is to be cooled with a lot of water in order to prevent further reactions inside
- Personal protective equipment as per conventional vehicle on fire!
- Electrical danger can also occur after a fire!
