Initial Response: Identify, Immobilize and Disable

Identify

The IONIQ EV is an electric vehicle. Emergency responders should respond to emergency

scenarios involving the IONIQ EV accordingly, exercising extreme care and caution to avoid

contact with the high voltage system within the vehicle.

The following procedures should be used whenever you are dealing with a IONIQ EV 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. Exercise caution and wear

appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) safety gear, including high voltage safety

gloves and boots. Remove all metallic jewelry, including watches and rings.

2. Immobilization / stabilization / lifting

The next step is to immobilize the vehicle to prevent any accidental movement that can

endanger responding emergency personnel or civilians. When the IONIQ EV is damaged in a

crash, the vehicle may appear to be shut off when it is not because the engine emits little to no

sound.

When the "READY" mode light is illuminated on the Instrument Panel, the vehicle can move

silently using the electric motor. Responders should approach the vehicle from the sides and

stay away from the front or rear as they are potential paths for vehicle movement. Be sure to

immobilize the vehicle in the following manner.

2.2 Vehicle Stabilization Use standard stabilization(lift) points, as

shown to the right. Always be sure to connect

to a structural member of the vehicle and

avoid placing cribbing under high voltage

cables, and other areas not normally

considered acceptable.

4.1 Extraction Operations

4. Access to the occupants

The IONIQ EV is an electric model. Because of the high voltage components contained

therein, first responders should exercise extreme caution when they extract occupants in the

car. Before performing any extraction operations, the first responders should "Identify,

Immobilize and Disable" the vehicle as discussed in sections on emergency procedures.

4.2 Vehicle Stabilization Use standard stabilization(lift) points, as

shown to the right. Always be sure to connect

to a structural member of the vehicle and

avoid placing cribbing under high voltage

cables, and other areas not normally

considered acceptable.

4.3 Extraction tools and procedure When responding to an incident involving a IONIQ EV, we recommend that the first

responders follow their organizations standard operating procedures for dealing with vehicle

emergencies.

When the first responders cut the vehicle, they should always pay special attention to the

airbag system, orange colored high voltage cables and other high voltage components so that

the parts are not damaged and to prevent a risk of electric shock or explosion.

Cables run under the floor of the vehicle and connect the High Voltage Battery to EPCU,

Motor, OBC, A/C compressor and other High Voltage components located towards the front

and rear of the vehicle.

The presence of orange cables under the hood, in the under-floor battery compartment, or

High Voltage cables under the car, identifies the vehicle as an electric vehicle.

Never cut or disconnect the high voltage orange cabling and connectors without first

disabling the High Voltage system. (refer to page 6 ).

Exposed cables or wires may be visible inside or outside the vehicle. Never touch

the metal chassis wires, cables, connectors, or any electric components before

disabling the system, and; or shorted to the vehicle chassis.

Failure to follow these instructions will lead to serious bodily injury or death by electrical

shock.

6.1 Firefighting Operations

6. In case of fire

Strict precautions must be taken while conducting firefighting operations due to following

Reasons:

Lithium-ion Polymer batteries contain gel electrolyte that can vent, ignite, and produce

sparks when subjected to temperatures above 300F.

Vehicle may burn rapidly with a flare-burning effect.

Even after the high-voltage battery fire appears to have been extinguished, renewed or

delayed fire can occur.

- Use a thermal imaging camera to ensure the high voltage battery is completely cooled

before leaving the incident.

- Always advise fellow emergency responders and civilians that there is a risk of the battery

re-ignition.

- In a fire, submersion or a collision that has compromised the high voltage battery, store the

vehicle in an open area with no exposure within 50 feet. Alternatively, a damaged vehicle

or battery pack may be stored in a barrier of earth, steel, concrete, or solid masonry.

A burning battery could release hydrogen fluoride, carbon monoxide, and carbon dioxide

gasses. Use NIOSH/MSHA approved full-face self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA)

with full protective gear. Even if the high-voltage battery pack is not directly involved in a

vehicle fire, approach the vehicle very carefully.

6.2 Extinguishers Small fires that do not involve the high voltage battery should be extinguished using an

ABC fire extinguisher. (ex. Fire caused by wiring harnesses, electrical components, etc.)

Do not attempt to extinguish fires that involve the high voltage battery with small amounts of water as this can result in electrocution. Fires that involve the high voltage battery should be extinguished using large amounts of water(Minimum 2,650 Gallons) to cool the high voltage battery. Fire fighters should not hesitate to pour larger amounts of water on the vehicle in such scenarios. Make sure the battery is fully cooled to avoid fire re-ignition.

17

6.3 How to deal with the situation

6. In case of fire

Fire Extinguish the fire with a large amount of water. Dont use seawater or salt water. It can generate toxic vapor or cause reignition.

18

6.3.1 Vehicle fire

You must use a large volume of water (Minimum 2,650 Gallons) to cool down the battery.

If water is put into the high voltage battery casing, it will help cool down the battery. (But

never attempt to penetrate the High Voltage battery or its casing to apply water.)

Soaking the vehicle in a container filled with water can be an effective way to extinguish the

fire.

6.3.2 High Voltage Battery Damage and Fluid Leaks

6. In case of fire

If electrolyte solution leakage, or any damage to the Lithium ion battery casing is observed, the first responders should attempt to neutralize the battery by applying a large volume of water to the battery pack while wearing appropriate Personal Protective Equipment (PPE). The neutralization process helps stabilize the thermal condition of the battery pack but does not discharge the battery.

Do not put any smoke, spark, or flame around the vehicle. Do not touch or step on the spilled electrolyte solution. If electrolyte leak occurs, wear appropriate solvent resistant PPE and use soil, sand, or a dry cloth to clean up the spilled. Be sure to adequately ventilate the area.

The high voltage battery contains electrolyte solution. To avoid exposure to electrolyte

solution and serious personal injury, always wear appropriate solvent resistant

PPE (Personal Protective Equipment) and SCBA (Self-Contained Breathing Apparatus).

Electrolyte solution is an eye irritant In the event of contact with eyes, rinse with

plenty of water for 15 minutes.

Electrolyte solution is a skin irritant. Therefore, in the event of contact with skin, wash

off with a soap.

Electrolyte liquid or fumes coming into contact with water will create vapors in the air

from oxidization. These vapors may irritate skin and eyes. In the event of contact with

vapors, rinse with plenty of water and consult a doctor immediately.

Electrolyte fumes (when inhaled) can cause respiratory irritation and acute intoxication.

Inhale fresh air and wash mouth with water. Consult a doctor immediately.

Electrolyte Irritation

6.4 High Voltage Battery re-ignition by stranded energy

6. In case of fire

Damaged cells in the high voltage battery can experience thermal runaway* and reignition.

To prevent reignition, responding emergency personnel need to be aware of the risk of

stranded energy* which remains in the damaged cells and lead to reignition.

*Thermal runaway : The originating cause of thermal runaway is generally short-

circuiting inside a battery cell and a resulting increase in the cells internal temperature.

Battery produces heat with thermal runaway and it can spread from one battery cell to

many cells, in a domino effect.

*Stranded energy : Energy remains inside any undamaged battery cells after the

accident. That stranded energy can cause a high voltage battery to reignite multiple

times after firefighters have extinguished the fire.

How to prevent reignition (Mitigating stranded energy risk)

Use a thermal imaging camera to ensure the high voltage battery is completely cooled before leaving the incident. Always advise second responders that there is a risk of the battery re-igniting.

7.1 Submerged or Partially Submerged Vehicles

7. In case of submersion

Some emergency responses can involve a submerged vehicle. IONIQ EV that is submerged does not have high-voltage components on the vehicles body or framework. It is safe to touch the vehicles 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 page 6-10 to disable the vehicle. Then, discharge the battery by referring to page 23-24.

If severe damage causes high voltage components to become exposed, responders should take appropriate precautions and wear appropriate insulated personal protective equipment.

Do not attempt to remove a safety plug while the vehicle is in water.

Failure to follow these instructions can lead to death or serious injury by electrocution.

21

8. Towing / Transportation / storage 8.1 Towing and Transportation In the event of an accident, the high voltage system must be disabled. The safety plug must

be removed from the high voltage battery according to one of the methods described in page

6-10 to disable the vehicle.

Towing the IONIQ EV Vehicle is not different

from towing a conventional electric vehicle.

Do not tow with sling-type equipment.

Use wheel lift or flatbed equipment.

Never tow the vehicle with the front

wheels on the ground (forward or

backward), as this may cause fire or

damage to the motor.

22

If emergency towing is necessary, we

recommend having it done by an authorized

Hyundai dealer or a commercial tow-truck

service. Proper lifting and towing procedures

are necessary to prevent damage to the

vehicle.

The use of wheel dollies or flatbed is

recommended.

8. Towing / Transportation / storage 8.2 Storage of damaged vehicle with the damaged battery

Drain fluids and water, then disconnect the negative (-) terminal of the 12 V battery before

storing a damaged vehicle.

In addition, remove the water inside the battery or vehicle, then remove the service plug

from the high voltage battery before storing a damaged vehicle.

Place the vehicle in an open space away from any structure, vehicle, or building.

Then, keep on eye on the vehicle until the discharging procedures are completed.

If the battery can be removed from the vehicle by moving the vehicle on a lift, remove and

discharge the battery.

DO NOT USE SALT WATER FOR THE FIRST STEP.

A large volume of flammable gas can be generated in salt water due to electrolysis.

After submerging the vehicle in pure water for at least 90hours, put salt in the water pool.

If the battery cant be removed, set up a water pool until the entire battery is

submerged. (See below)

# Water pool condition : tap water or pond water that does not contain salt

Maintain this water level for at least 90 hours.

Put salt into the water pool to make 3.5% salt water.

Wait for additional 48 hours in salt water.

Then, drain the water and dry it.

8. Towing / Transportation / storage 8.3 Battery Storage

Extinguish all smoke, spark, flame around the vehicle.

Electrolyte solution is an eye and skin irritant, so exercise caution.

Do not touch or step on the spilled electrolyte.

If electrolyte leak occurs, wear appropriate solvent resistant PPE and use soil, sand, or

a dry cloth to clean up the spilled electrolyte. Be sure to adequately ventilate the area.

To store the damaged battery safely, the battery must be discharged.

If the battery can be removed from the vehicle, discharge the battery to prevent re-ignition.

24

Prepare water that does not contain salt such as tap or pond water.

Leave the battery in water for at least 90 hours.

Then put salt into the water pool to make 3.5% salt water.

Wait for additional 48 hours in salt water.

Then take out the battery from the water pool and drain and dry it.

Do not attempt to jump start the high voltage battery, as it cannot be jump started. In case of full

discharge of the high voltage battery, the vehicle must be towed as mentioned on the previous

page.
