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.

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.
Damaged battery or Fluid leak*
Disconnecting 12 Volt Battery (-) terminal, Disabling the high voltage system, or Neutralizing the battery by applying a large volume of water. (It does not discharge the battery)

Battery discharging
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.
