If the Electric Vehicle Catches Fire
If a small scale fire occurs, use a fire extinguisher (ABC or BC) to extinguish the fire.
• If the fire cannot be extinguished early, evacuate to a safe place and do not let other
people approach the site.
• Contact the fire department, report an electric vehicle fire, and then follow its
instructions.
CAUTION
• If you cannot put out the fire, immediately evacuate to a safe place and wait until the
firefighters arrive.
• If the high voltage battery on the lower part of the vehicle catches fire, large amount of
water must be supplied continuously for a long time to completely extinguish the fire.
It is hard to extinguish the fire without sufficient water and appropriate fire
extinguishers. If you approach the vehicle carelessly, it may cause accidents, such as
electric shock, and result in serious injury.
If the Electric Vehicle Is Submerged
If the electric vehicle is submerged while driving, immediately turn off the vehicle and
evacuate to a safe place. Contact the emergency rescue service such as a fire
department, or an authorized HYUNDAI dealer.
