If A Fire Occurs; Emergency Venting Of Hydrogen Gas; If A Submersion In Water Occurs; If The Vehicle Stalls At A Crossroad Or Crossing - Hyundai NEXO 2023 Owner's Manual

If a fire occurs

1. Stop the vehicle, shift gear to the
P(Park) position, engage the park-
ing brake, and turn the vehicle off.
The flow of hydrogen into the fuel
cell stack will be shut off to prevent
the electricity from being generat-
ed.
2. If the fire is small, which can be
extinguished with fire extinguisher,
use carbon dioxide extinguisher.
You can also extinguish the fire
with water when the vehicle power
is turned off.
WARNING
Do not use water to extinguish a
fire when the vehicle power is
turned on. Serious electric
shock may result.
If the fire is too big to be extin-
guished with the fire extinguisher,
evacuate from the vehicle, call the
fire department, and let them know
the vehicle is a Fuel Cell Electric
Vehicle. Do not come close to the
vehicle until the fire is totally extin-
guished.
Emergency venting of hydro-
gen gas
If the temperature near the safety
valve located at the rear under vehi-
cle is over 230°F (110°C) caused by
a fire or other reasons, the safety
valve will open to vent hydrogen gas.
Venting the hydrogen gas makes a
loud noise because the venting
speed is very fast. Stay well away
from the vehicle. The discharge of
hydrogen gas from the vehicle is
flammable and could cause a fire.
If a submersion in water
occurs
If your vehicle was flooded and has
soaked carpeting or water on the
flooring, you should not try to start
the vehicle by pressing the POWER
button.
Contact an authorized HYUNDAI
dealer immediately.
If the vehicle stalls at a cross-
road or crossing
If the vehicle stalls at a crossroad or
crossing, set the gear in the N
(Neutral) position and then push the
vehicle to a safe place.
