In Case of Submersion
In case of submersion, secondary impact damage can never be excluded. Damaged high-voltage components
pose an increased electrical shock hazard. Stay away from damaged high-voltage components. Handle any
fully or partially submerged vehicle while wearing the appropriate Personal Protection Equipment (PPE).
A submerged vehicle
without
impact damage has a low electrical shock hazard risk. Small bubbles may be
noticed exiting the vehicle. This is due to electrolysis of the water and does not create a higher risk of shock
hazard.
WARNING: To prevent personal injury and / or death, consider the entire vehicle as energized.
Always wear full Personal Protection Equipment (PPE).
WARNING: To prevent personal injury and / or death, pay attention to secondary fire events. There
is a high risk of reignition due to damage and corrosion. Saltwater increases this risk for electrical
shorts post incident.
Keep full Personal Protection Equipment (PPE), including Self-Contained
Breathing Apparatus (SCBA) ready.
WARNING: To prevent personal injury and / or death, avoid any contact with a submerged
high-voltage system. Do not attempt to disable the High-Voltage Service Disconnect switch while the
vehicle is submerged. The ignition may be turned OFF.
1.
Turn the vehicle OFF (if possible).
2.
Recover the vehicle.
3.
Drain the water out of the vehicle.
4.
Turn the high-voltage disconnect switch to the OFF position.
