KONA Hybrid
• If severe damage causes high-voltage components to become exposed, emergency responders should
take appropriate precautions and wear appropriate insulated personal protective equipment.
• Do not attempt to remove the safety plug while standing in the water.
• Never cut or disconnect the high voltage orange cabling and connectors without first disabling the system
by removing the safety plug.
• Exposed cables or wires may be visible inside or outside the vehicle. Never touch the wires, cables,
connectors, or any electric components before disabling the system, to prevent injury or death due to
electrical shock.
Failure to follow any of these instructions may result in serious injury or death by electrocution.
• Do not cut through any component of the Airbag (SRS) system (Supplementary Restraint System)
• SRS components may remain powered and active for up to 3 minutes after the 12V electrical system is shut
off or disabled.
Disconnect the battery negative cable and wait for at least 3 minutes before beginning work.
Failure to follow any of these instructions may result in serious injury or death from accidental deployment of
the airbag system.
