Electric Vehicle Guide
WARNING
If a small scale fire occurs, use a fire
extinguisher (ABC, BC) that is meant
for electrical fires. If it is impossible
to extinguish the fire in the early
stage, maintain a safe distance
away from the vehicle and immedi -
ately call your local fire emergency
responders.
Also, advise them that an electric
vehicle is involved.
If the fire spreads to the high volt -
age battery, large amounts of water
is needed to put out the fire. Using
small amounts of water or fire
extinguishers not meant for electri -
cal fires could cause serious injury or
death from electrical shocks.
WARNING
If you cannot put out the fire imme -
diately, the high voltage battery
may explode. Evacuate to a safe
place and do not let other people
approach the site.
Contact the fire department and
notify them of an electric vehicle
fire.
If the vehicle is flooded with water,
immediately turn OFF the vehicle
and evacuate to a safe place. Con -
tact the fire department or an
authorized Kia dealer.
