•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.

Important Safety Information

Document Purpose
The purpose of this document is to familiarise emergency responders and the towing/roadside
assistance industry with the proper methods to handle the Hyundai KONA Electric in an emergency
situation. This guide offers a basic overview of key vehicle systems and provides instructions for
dealing with the different types of situations encountered by emergency responders. The emergency
response procedures for this vehicle are somewhat similar to a conventional vehicle with additional
information provided on dealing with the high-voltage electrical system.
Vehicle Description
An electric vehicle is driven using a battery and an electric motor. While general vehicles use an
internal combustion engine and gasoline as fuel, electric vehicles use electrical energy that is
charged inside the high voltage battery. As a result, electric vehicles are eco-friendly in that they do
not require fuel and do not emit exhaust gases.
When decelerating or driving downhill, regenerative braking is utilized to charge the high voltage
battery. This minimizes energy loss and increases the distance to empty.
When the battery charge is not sufficient, normal charge, quick charge and trickle charge are
available.
Introduction 1

KONA Electric Identification 2
General Vehicle Description
The Hyundai KONA Electric is built on a conventional KONA chassis and therefore the five door hatch
back looks very similar to its conventional counterpart with a few notable exceptions. The safest
method is to assume that any KONA you respond to is a electric vehicle until proven otherwise. Using
the information provided in this section, responders will be able to differentiate between the two.
Identifying a Hyundai electric vehicle
Electric badge on Trunk and Blue Drive badge on side of Vehicle
The Hyundai KONA Electric can be easily identified by the ‘electric’ and the ‘KONA’ badge located on
the trunk lid and the ‘BLUE-DRIVE’ badge on the left side of the vehicle.
Electrocution Risk
Badging can become hidden after a crash due to damage to the vehicle. Always be sure to utilize
additional methods if identification before determining there is no badge present.

KONA Electric Identification 3
VIN number
The Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) identifies the Electric Vehicle with a “G” / ”H” displayed in
the 8th position, as shown in the below drawing.
The VIN is punched on the floor under the driver seat. The letter H in the 8th character of the VIN
indicates that it is an electric vehicle with battery (G : [LiPB 356 V, 180 Ah] + Motor [3-phase AC 150
kw], H : G : [LiPB 327 V, 120 Ah] + Motor [3-phase AC 150 kw].
XXXXXXXH/GXXXXXXX
8th digit

KONA Electric Identification 4
Motor Compartment
The KONA Electric has a plastic power electric
cover with “EV” clearly shown on it.
Additionally, there are orange colored high-
voltage electrical cables in the motor
compartment.
Vehicle Underside
An orange colored cable covered by the under
cover is also visible on the underside of the
vehicle. This cable runs from the center of the
vehicle to the motor compartment.

KONA Electric Identification 5
Charging Port
The Charging Port is located on the front bumper covered by the charging port cap and it has one
port for AC Slow, Fast and DC rapid.
How to open the charging port
Unlock Charging Connector in Emergency
1. Depress the brake pedal and apply the parking
brake.
2. Turn OFF all switches, shift to P (Park), and turn
OFF the vehicle.
3. Push the charging door where the icon is
located to open. The charging door opens only
when the door is unlocked.
4. Remove the charging inlet cover (1).
If the charging connector does not disconnect due
to battery discharge and failure of the electric
wires, open the hood and slightly pull the
emergency cable. The charging connector will
then disconnect.

KONA Electric Identification 6
Electric Vehicle Cluster Instrument Panel
The Electric Vehicle Instrument Cluster Panel displays the electric vehicle specific features that
identify the KONA as a electric vehicle.
: Regeneration brake
/ECO/power gauge
: SOC(high voltage battery)
Indicator indicates the charge
state of the high voltage battery.
: The “Ready” Light indicates
the vehicle is ready for driving.
