Emergency procedures
Initial Response:
The following procedures should be used whenever you are dealing with a IONIQ 5 at an
emergency scene. All other operations should be consistent with your department’s standard
operating procedures or guides. Electric vehicles damaged by a crash may have compromised
high voltage safety systems 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.
Identify
When dealing with a IONIQ 5 at the scene of an accident, emergency responders should always
assume that it is a electric model until it can be proven otherwise using the identification features
outlined in this ERG. Always be sure to inspect multiple sides of the vehicle as well as using the
clues found under the hood and in the interior of the vehicle.
