Document Purpose
The purpose of this document is to familiarize emergency responders and the towing/roadside
assistance industry with the proper methods to handle the Hyundai IONIQ 5 in an emergency
situation. This guide offers a basic overview of key vehicle systems and provides instructions for
dealing with the different types of situations encountered by emergency responders. The
emergency response procedures for this vehicle are somewhat similar to a conventional vehicle
with additional information provided on dealing with the high-voltage electrical system.
Vehicle Description
An electric vehicle is driven using a battery and an electric motor. While general vehicles use an
internal combustion engine and gasoline as fuel, electric vehicles use electrical energy that is
charged inside the high voltage battery. As a result, electric vehicles are eco-friendly in that they
do not require fuel and do not emit exhaust gases.
When decelerating or driving downhill, regenerative braking is utilized to charge the high voltage
battery. This minimizes energy loss and increases the range of the vehicle.
When the battery charge is not sufficient, normal charge, quick charge and trickle charge are
available.
