Emergency Procedures
Submerged Vehicle
If a Accord Hybrid is submerged or partly submerged in
water, first pull the vehicle out of the water. Then shut
down the high-voltage system using one of the two
procedures described on the following pages.
Absent severe damage to the vehicle, there is no risk of
electric shock from touching the car’s body or
framework — in or out of the water.
If the high-voltage battery was submerged, you may
hear noises from the battery as the cells are being
discharged from shorting.
