PRECAUTIONS

MAINTENANCE AND REPAIRS TO

YOUR VEHICLE

Fisker Automotive recommends having

maintenance and repairs for your Karma

performed by an authorized Fisker Retailer.

To locate your nearest authorized Fisker

Retailer, go to www.fiskerautomotive.com

or contact Fisker Consumer Affairs.

BODY REPAIRS

If you're involved in a collision, you want

your vehicle to be returned to its pre-

accident condition when repaired. That's

why it is important to make sure your

vehicle is repaired with only genuine Fisker

Automotive parts.

Some repair shops and insurance

companies may suggest using non original

equipment or salvaged parts to save

money. However, these parts do not meet

Fisker's high standards for quality, fit and

corrosion resistance. In addition, non

original equipment and salvaged parts (and

any damage or failures they may cause) are

not covered by any Fisker warranty.

The best way to ensure that your vehicle is

repaired with genuine Fisker Automotive

parts is to take it to a Fisker Retailer. Each

Retailer works with selected collision repair

centers that meet Fisker's strict

requirements for training, equipment,

quality, and customer satisfaction. These

repair centers use genuine Fisker

Automotive parts exclusively in the repair of

Fisker vehicles.

IMPORTANT

Your Fisker Karma is an electric vehicle

with a range-extending gasoline engine.

The Karma has both high-voltage DC and

AC systems as well as a 12-volt system.

Both the DC and AC high voltage systems

are very dangerous and can cause

personal injury, severe burns, electric

shock and even fatal injury unless

appropriate precautions are taken.

Always observe and obey the instructions

on labels attached to components on the

vehicle - they are there for your safety.

Do not touch, attempt to remove or

replace any high voltage parts, wiring

(identified by the orange outer sleeving) or

connectors.

If the vehicle is involved in an accident, do

not touch any high voltage wiring,

connectors or the components

connected to the wiring.

If a vehicle fire occurs, extinguish it with a

Class D powder-type fire extinguisher.

Information About Your Vehicle

VEHICLE MODIFICATIONS

WARNING: The installation of non-

approved parts and accessories, or

the carrying out of non-approved

modifications, may be dangerous and could

affect the safety of the vehicle and

occupants and also invalidate the terms and

conditions of the vehicle warranty.

WARNING: Fisker Automotive will not

accept any liability for death, personal

injury or damage to property which may

occur as a direct result of non-approved

modifications or the installation of non-

approved accessories.

If you have a disability which may require

modification to the vehicle, please contact

Fisker Automotive before any modifications

are made.

QUALITY CONTROL

You may have noticed a few miles (kms) on

the odometer when you took delivery of

your Karma. This is a result of the

comprehensive process used to ensure the

quality of your vehicle.

This process includes extensive

inspections during and after production.

The final inspection takes place at the

selling Retailer and includes a road test

conducted by a trained Fisker Automotive

Technician.

DATA RECORDING

Service data recording

Service data recorders in your vehicle are

capable of collecting and storing diagnostic

information about your vehicle. This

potentially includes information about the

performance or status of various systems

and modules in the vehicle such as engine,

throttle, steering or brakes. In order to

properly diagnose and service your vehicle,

Fisker Automotive and service facilities may

access vehicle diagnostic information

through a direct connection to your vehicle.

Event data recording

This vehicle is equipped with an Event Data

Recorder (EDR). The main purpose of an

EDR is to record, in certain crash or near

crash-like situations, such as an air bag

deployment or hitting a road obstacle, data

that will assist in understanding how a

vehicle's systems performed. The EDR is

designed to record data related to vehicle

dynamics and safety systems for a short

period of time, typically 30 seconds or less.

The EDR in this vehicle is designed to

record such data as:

•How various systems in your vehicle

were operating;

•Whether or not the driver and passenger

safety belts were buckled/fastened;

•How far (if at all) the driver was

depressing the accelerator and/or brake

pedal; and,

•How fast the vehicle was traveling;

•Where the driver was positioning the

steering wheel.

These data can help provide a better

understanding of the circumstances in

which crashes and injuries occur.

Note: EDR data are recorded by your

vehicle only if a non-trivial crash situation

occurs; no data are recorded by the EDR

under normal driving conditions and no

personal data (e.g., name, gender, age, and

crash location) are recorded. However,

other parties, such as law enforcement,

could combine the EDR data with the type

of personally identifying data routinely

acquired during a crash investigation.

To read data recorded by an EDR, special

equipment is required, and access to the

vehicle or the EDR is needed. In addition to

the vehicle manufacturer, other parties,

such as law enforcement, that have the

special equipment, can read the information

if they have access to the vehicle or the

EDR.
