Submersion - Hyundai IONIQ 5 Emergency Response Manual

Emergency procedures

Submersion

Some emergency responses can involve a submerged vehicle. A IONIQ 5 that is submerged does
not have high-voltage component on the vehicle's body or framework. It is safe to touch the
vehicle's body or framework if there is no severe damage to the vehicle, whether it is in water or
on land.
In the event the vehicle is submerged or partially submerged, remove the vehicle from the water
before attempting to disable the vehicle. Drain the water from the vehicle. Use one of the
methods described in sections of page 9 to 12 to disable the vehicle.
• If severe damage causes high-voltage components to become exposed, responders should take
appropriate precautions and wear appropriate insulated personal protective equipment.
Failure to follow any of these instructions may result in serious injury or death by electrocution.
