•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.

Initial Response: Identify, Immobilize and Disable
Identify
Emergency responders should respond to emergency scenarios involving the KONA
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 KONA HEV at
an emergency scene. However, all operations should be consistent with your department's
standard operating procedures, guidelines, and any applicable laws. When an High voltage
system 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.

* The actual image of vehicle may differ from the illustration
2. Engage Parking Brake1. Press the Park (P) button
3. Chock the Wheels
4. Press the START/STOP button
The next step is to
immobilise the vehicle to prevent any accidental movement that can
endanger response personnel or civilians. 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
immobilise the vehicle in the following manner.

2. Immobilisation / stabilisation / lifting
Use standard stabilisation(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.

3. Disable direct hazards / safety regulations
The final step in the initial response process, conducted after
immobilising the vehicle, is to
disable the vehicle, its SRS components and the high voltage electrical system. To prevent
current flow through the system, use the following procedure to disable the vehicle.
3.1 Disabling the System –Smart Key System and “POWER”
START/STOP Button
1.
Confirm the status of the READY light on the instrument panel. If the READY
light is illuminated, the vehicle is ON.
“POWER” START/STOP Button
a) If the READY light is NOT illuminated, the vehicle is off. Do not push the
“POWER” START/STOP button because the vehicle may start (go
into READY
mode)
.
b) To turn OFF the system, press the 'P'(Park) button, and press the POWER button.
Power Off 12V battery

a) Disconnect the 12V auxiliary battery connector.
1) Open the hood and find the 12V battery connector.
2) Disconnect the 12V battery connector(A)
3. Disable direct hazards / safety regulations
2. If necessary, lower the windows, unlock the doors and open the tail gate as required,
before disconnecting the 12V battery. Once the 12V battery is
disconnected, power
controls
will not operate. (Refer to below “4. a)” for 12V battery disconnection)
3. Before disconnecting the 12V battery, remove the Smart Key at least 2 meters away from
the vehicle to prevent accidental restart.
4. Follow the procedure below to disable the high voltage battery:

•
Before engaging in any emergency response procedures, ensure the vehicle is
disabled and wait 5 minutes to allow the capacitor in the high voltage system to
discharge to avoid electrocution.
•
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
electrocution.
