2. Immobilization / stabilization / lifting
The next step is to immobilize the vehicle to prevent any accidental movement that can
endanger response personnel or civilians. When the IONIQ 6 is damaged in a crash, the
vehicle may appear to be shut off when it is not due to no engine sounds.
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 beside. 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.

5.2 High voltage orange cabling
5. Stored energy / liquid / gases / solids
The High Voltage cabling is orange, per Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE) standards.
Cables run under the floor of the vehicle and connect the High Voltage Battery to the ICCU,
Motor, 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
HV 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 HV system. (refer to page 7)
•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 batteries contain electrolyte that can vent, ignite and produce sparks when
subjected to temperatures above 300°F.
•
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 second responders that there is a risk of the battery re-igniting.
-
In a fire, submersion or a collision that has compromised the high voltage battery, always
store it in an open area with no exposures within 50 feet.
- If there is no suitable open area, it can be stored in a barrier made or earth, steel, cement or
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(Max 10,000 liter) 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.

•
Use a large volume of water (max. 10,000 liter). The water must cool down the battery.
•If water is put into the high voltage battery casing, it will be better to cool down the battery.
(But never attempt to penetrate the HV battery or its casing to apply water.)
•Soaking the vehicle in the container filled with water can be an effective way to extinguish
the fire.

6. In case of fire

6.3.2 High Voltage Battery Damage and Fluid Leaks
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, flame around the vehicle.
• 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.
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.

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.

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, the first responder and second responder 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 cell’s 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 a fire.
