  • Page 3: Identification / Recognition

    1. Identification / recognition Initial Response: Identify, Immobilize and Disable The following procedures should be used whenever you are dealing with a IONIQ 6 at an emergency scene. However, all operations should be consistent with your department's standard operating procedures, guidelines, and any applicable laws. When an EV is damaged in a crash, the high voltage safety systems may have been compromised and present a potential high voltage electrical shock hazard.
  • Page 4 • The HYUNDAI IONIQ 6 can be easily identified by the Exterior design and IONIQ 6 logo on the tail gate. • The IONIQ 6 logo may be missing or hidden after a crash due to damage to the vehicle. Always be sure to utilize additional methods of identification before determining that the vehicle is not an electric car.
